Can I upgrade from 2007 HSE to Office 2007 Professional ?

[Mark Cryer]

Hi: I just purchased a system and Office 207 Home / Student comes with the
system. This package does not include all of the programs I need and I was
wondering if I can upgrade (Using the upgrade price) to Office 2007
Professional?

Is the Home and Student a full version or a trial? If it is a trial, it does not qualify you for the upgrade to Office Pro.

I have 2007HSE full version and got an Office Enterprise (paid for) for an
upgrade. However, it only added the programs I didn't have in 2007HSE and
didn't upgrade Office Word, Excel & PowerPoint to a better (professional). Do
I need to uninstall the 2007HSE first? Thanks. I paid a lot of money for both
versions and I do need to use the professional features in the Enterprise
version.
Thanks for helping me.

Hi Helen,

What features are you missing?

There are additional parts to Office 2007 Enterprise edition that can impact use (such as Information Rights Management), but there
isn't a 'better' version of Word, Excel or Powerpoint in it. You can uninstall the Home and Student edition, restart the PC then
install the Enterprise edition. That should remove the 'non commercial use' header from the Home & Student edition.

A non-OEM Home and Student Edition allows more licensed install than the Enterprise edition.

I do have a full version of Home and Student. I need Outlook, which H&S
doesn't have. Can I upgrade to something that has it? How? I can't find it on
the Microsoft web site.
