New computer - install multiple upgrade version of Office

C

Carol

I have just bought a new computer. I need to install Office XP and Office
2003 from my original cd's but both cd's are the upgrade versions of the
software. Therefore the install will not detect previous versions of the
software and may not proceed. What are the necessary steps to ensure proper
installation and activation? Transferring my data files will be easy as I
have a home network.

Hi Carol,

You can use the Office XP upgrade package CD as a qualifying product during the install of Office 2003 upgrade. Is there a feature
from Office XP that you need not included Office 2003 that is leading to installing both the XP/2002 and 2003 editions? (You don't
need to install a qualifying product to upgrade, just have the CDs available).

If you need to install MS Office XP then these are the qualifying products to install an upgrade edition.

Unfortunately, MS Office XP had one of the most limited lists of qualifying products of recent Office versions.
