Valid Qualifying Product
I'm trying to upgrade to Office XP but I keep getting the error message that
I don't have a qualifying product. The disck is an upgrade and I don't have my old Office disk. Is there anything I can do? Thank you for your help. |

The EULA is very clear - unless you have the *original* qualifying product (i.e. the one you originally used to qualify for the upgrade) then your upgrade licence is null and void. You see, the stipulation of the upgrade licence is that, once you use a product to qualify for the upgrade, that licence is then 'assimilated' into the upgrade (two halves of a whole if you like) and the two are then inseparable. If you no longer own, or have possession of, the original product you used to qualify, then the upgrade licence is rendered null and void. -- Facon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads. |
