Technology Guarantee

[Brian]

I'm hoping that somebody can answer this question for me. I have been using
Office XP for quite some time and have now purchased the Upgrade Version of
Office 2003 Professional. When I go to the Technology Guarantee page, this
version of office is included in the drop-down list, however, all of the
literature says "full retail" version, which doesn't mean the upgraded
version to me.

Before I open this software and install it, can anyone tell me if this
upgrade version is included in Technology Guarantee? Since Office 2007 is
pretty close to general release, I don't want to open this product and find
out that I can't get the upgrade free of charge. I would rather return this
product and wait for 2007 to be released in that event. Thank you, in
advance, for any light you can shed on the subject.

I made the assumption you were in the US so I went tho this site. I was able
to follow it with with the upgrade version without a problem.

Thank you, JoAnn. I am from the U.S. I'm sorry that I had forgotten to put
that in my original posting. Thank you for the quick response. I didn't
want to have to open the box to fill out the Technology Guarantee form (CD
key portion) to find out whether or not the upgrade is a "qualifying"
product. Thanks again!
