Downgrading Office 2007 to 2003

[Simon]

Hi all.

I have a question, I hope you can help me clear things up.

I have purchased 6 New PCs without any MS Office software. I would like to
buy 6 licenses for MS Office Professional 2007 but I would like to run Office
2003 for the time being. So what I am asking is:


1. Can I buy Office Pro 2007 Licenses and use these licenses to run Office
Pro 2003?

2. If this is possible, can I use existing media (i.e. an existing copy of
2003) to install the software but use my new license numbers?

3. When the time comes to change over to 2007, can I just uninstall 2003 and
reinstall 2007 using the same license numbers?


I have had a look at some older threads but I am not 100% so I thought I
would dive right in and ask.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Simon

See document for eligible purchase method.

No, you have to use the 2003 product key to install Office 2003.

3. When the time comes to change over to 2007, can I just uninstall 2003 and
reinstall 2007 using the same license numbers?

No, you install Office 2007 with the 2007 product key.
