OFF2000: Products That Qualify for the Microsoft Office UpgradeID: Q210437
|
Microsoft Office is available in two versions, a retail version that
you can install on any compatible computer, and an upgrade version that
requires a qualifying product be installed on your computer or
that disk 1 from the qualifying product be available when you run
the Setup program.
This article lists the products that qualify you to use the upgrade
version of Office. The retail version does not require a
qualifying product.
This applies to all packages of Office including Premium, Professional, Small Business, Standard, and Developer.
If you purchase Microsoft Office 2000 Premium, Professional, Small Business, Standard, or Developer through either a retail outlet, or through volume-licensing programs such as Open or Select, and you are legally licensed for one of the following products, you qualify to purchase the upgrade product.
