Lost Disk

[sonya]

Want to upgrade my Frontpage from version 2002 to Frontpage 2003. I have
misplaced my original disk. Will it be needed if I purchase the upgrade
product since the original is installed on my computer? If so, is there any
way around this? I also have Office XP Small Business Edition installed on
the same computer and have those disks available.

Check:

for upgrade requirements for FrontPage 2003.

Your installed FrontPage 2002 will qualify for installation of FrontPage
2003 upgrade. However, if your ever have to reinstall after a major
failure to a computer without FrontPage 2002 already installed you will not
be able to do so without the FrontPage 2002 CDs.

You should obtain a FrontPage 2002 CD to maintain your license history and
be able to reinstall FrontPage 2003 without 2002. If your FrontPage 2002 is
a retail product and your are in US or Canada then:

to recover your "misplaced" original installation media. You will need it to
purchase and install an upgrade version of FP.
