Microsoft Office Trial Version and Upgrade

I was having trouble installing Office upgrade on top of Works because of Works bug. Could not install works patch because it needed the install disk (which HP does not provide). I installed the Trial version of Office and installed the upgrade on top of that with no problem. I'm not sure what is going to happen after the end of the 60-day trial period. We'll see and I'll hit you back.

Uninstall the trial verison if office what you have on the computer.

Download office professional from the Link below

Disc 2 : msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msoffice/pub/X13-40150/X13-40150.exe

While running the set up when asking for the product key type the 25 digit product key what you got along with disc

Once installed , while opening application for the first time its will ask for activation : activate office over the internet or by telephone .

Happy computing :)

You should not have any problem installing it over the already installed version. According to the Microsoft website, any version of Office 2007 is eligible for the upgrade. You should not uninstall the trial version since the upgrade disk you purchased will look for an installed Office product that it can upgrade. If the upgrade requires an uninstall, it will probably do it itself. I would definitely go through the installation.
