Moving from Office 2007 Standard to Enterprise Editions

I've just purchased a license and media for office 2007 enterprise edition.
I've currently got the standard edition running on my desktop and laptop
(both running Vista). Can I chose to just install the components from the
Enterprise edition that are not part of Standard, and leave those I've
already got alone? Or do I need them all running under the same license (I
legally own both)? If I have to uninstall the standard edition prior to
installing the enterprise edition, I'm wondering if there is any way to do
that while preserving all (or some) of my settings and customizations in
word, excel, and outlook? Any advice that can save me time re-customizing
all the ribbons, macros, rules, etc. for these programs would be much
appreciated!

If you install enterprise on one machine, that would be the only machine it
can be installed onto as it does not have a license for two concurrent
machines like the standard version does (if retail.) If you uninstall all
of the standard version then it normally will not delete any of your
settings and they should be picked up by the enterprise version when
installed. But, as they say, things do happen, so you should have a good
backup of all system settings and data prior to the uninstall.
