Trial Small Business Edition - purchase which Suite?

[jillavia]

Hello - my new laptop has Office 2007 Small Business Edition TRIAL. I've
activated the trial and have 60 days now to purchase a license. HOWEVER, I
have outlook etc all setup the way I like it and I don't want to uninstall
everything when I purchase a full suite. 1 option is to buy the Full Version
of SB edition, but ... can I also buy Office Pro 2007 or Office Enterprise
Edition 2007 and simply enter those keys in and carry on using it? It will be
a real pain to Uninstall the s/w esp. Outlook and have to reinstall
everything again. I've tried to ask this question over the phone with MS but
unfortunately not getting an answer.
Thanks

You need to purchase a product key for the version of Office you installed.
In your case, Office 2007 Small Business edition.

No you cannot, you have to uninstall any trial before installing from cd/dvd
Purchasing from eg Amazon is cheaper than purchasing from MS & importantly
you get the media
