Default Upgrading Office Home and Student 2007 to Office Standard 2007

I originally activated Office Home and Student 2007 on my laptop. Subsequent
to acquiring that license I began to use my laptop for a business. I read
the upgrade requirements for Office Standard as allowing an upgrade from any
version of Office 2000-2007 to mean that I could upgrade my license for
commercial use for the extra $280 or whatever.

I purchased the license and installed the software on top of my existing
version. It accepted the new license key no problem, but it still says
"non-commercial use" at the top of all tools.

How does one get the tools to recognize that they are licensed for
commercial use--I don't want to come across as a license scofflaw in my
business presentations.

Do I need the disk? It was preinstalled on my laptop and when I upgraded I
did it online. I have both product keys, though.

I suppose the OEM may have included a CD, I guess I'll try to find it.

Any way to do with one of the versions that I have in my purchase history
(i.e. the version I originally activated) that I can still download?

Uninstall both, reinstall Standard upgrade, when prompted for qualifying
version, insert HSE disk and point to that.

You're going to need something but I'm not sure what in your case. (I don't
use OEM software.) Maybe someone else can give you that answer.
