Different versions of Office?

Just got a new laptop and I have a few questions about Microsoft
Office.

I have a full (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007) set of CDs
(including separate CDs for Project Professional, Sharepoint Designer
2007, Visio Professional 2007, Office Groove 2007, OneNote 2007). I
bought this a year or so ago when I was at university, the uni had a
special deal with MS. Most of it I never installed on my previous
laptop as I had Office 2002 installed on that laptop and I thought it
was a tad underpowered for the newer software.

On my new laptop, there is a pre-installed trial version of MS Office
2007 with Access, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Publisher.

Can I use my product key with the pre-installed software?

Can I install the additional bits I have without conflicts?

I'm loathe to just delete the pre-installed stuff, as it already
loaded and installed updates and I'd rather not go through that again
if I can avoid it.

I believe that I'm entitled to install Office 2007 on up to three
computers? Am I correct?

Thanks.

Uninstall the trial version. Too many issues have been caused by having both
on a computer.

Read JoAnn's response about the trial version and I haven't heard of an
Office Pro Plus version allowing more than two installs (the primary install
and one for a portable device for the "exclusive" use of the primary user of
the primary install. You will need to read your EULA to be sure however.
