Upgrading from works suite to office 2007
Posted by fishbros on February 7th, 2008


If you upgrade from works 9 (boxed retail) to office 2007 standard (upgrade)
do you have to leave works installed or can it be reused on another PC and if
so can it subsequently be upgraded again ?

If you use an Office upgrade, you cannot use Works on another system. And
no, you can't use one copy of Works as the qualifying product for multiple
copies of Office. Once you upgrade, think of those two suites as being one.

The license for Microsoft Works serves as the basis for
eligibility for installing an upgrade version of Microsoft
Office. Thus, once you perform the upgrade, you cannot
remove/uninstall Works nor use the license on a different
computer.
