I beg to differ - yes, you can use some OEM Office CDs for proof of
eligibility for upgrade. Simply insert the disk when asked, it will be
verified, take out the disk and continue the installation.
It may be different here in the states - please remember that England is no
longer the world. (eg)

||| on more

|||
||| 1) It is a retail version (whether full or upgrade, as long as
||| you have a qualifying product). OEM and Student Editions do *NOT*
||| qualify. 2) Both systems are different (i.e one desktop and one
||| laptop).
|||
||| If you cannot satisfy both those conditions then you would be in
||| violation of the EULA (End User Licence Agreement) if you attempted
||| to do so.
|
| It depends on the system, though. If you're installing it on anything
| other than the original PC then it can't.
