Install from upgrade disk to new machine
Office 2007 Small Business
I'm replacing my computer, which has Office 2007 installed on it. It was installed from the upgrade disk, because I'd previous had Office 2003. My new machine, of course, will not have any version of Office on it when I get it. How will I be able to install Office 2007 on the new machine, off of the upgrad disk? (I probably have the 2003 disk around. Will I be able to enter the license info from that during the 2007 install?) Thanks. Ken Isaacson SILENT COUNSEL, a legal thriller www.KenIsaacson.com |

Ken Isaacson SILENT COUNSEL, a legal thriller www.KenIsaacson.com If you can find the Office 2003 disk all you have to do is start the install with the Office 2007 disk. It will state that it can't find a qualifying product and request you insert the product CD. Take out the '07 disk and put in the '03 disk. Click OK after you are sure that the target is directed to the CD drive. Once the computer has read the information on the '03 disk it will pause and you take out the '03 disk and put the '07 disk back in the drive. If you have to use the '03 disk as the qualifier, I would tape the CD case, with the disk in it, that '03 came in right to the '07 case. If you need to reinstall '07 later you will be glad you did. If your new machine has MS Works on it that also would be a qualifier for Office '07. There is an issue with the installer recognizing Works 9 however and the fix is he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943290 Hope this helps, let us know. |

Yes, I found the previous install disk, and it worked just like you said.
