Upgrade Office 2007 Pro to Office 2007 Ultimate?

[mickey71]

I currently own/use Office 2007 Professional full version (not upgrade). Is
it possible to upgrade Office 2007 Professional to Office 2007 Ultimate and
just pay the difference in price ($539 Ultimate upgrade minus the $499 that
I spent on Professional=$40)instead of having to buy the $539 Ultimate
upgrade version?

If so, please give me a link or instructions on how I might do this. I have
been searching at microsoft.com as well as looking for any "upgrade" links
in my current Office 2007 products.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As far as I know, the "cross-grade" is not possible. You would just need to
purchase the additional applications.

Call a licensing specialist at MS to find out for certain: 1-800-426-9400,
Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific time) and ask to
speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. Worldwide
customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find
contact information in their locations.

Thank you, Susan for your quick answer! It was very helpful and I have made
my decision not to upgrade.

I have some 2003 Office software (OneNote, InfoPath, etc.) that has recently
been showing that they are not "Genuine", even though they are. I assume
that because Microsoft shows that they are not "Genuine" that they are not
getting all of the updates. I figured that if it wasn't that expensive, I
would go ahead and upgrade them to the 2007 versions to avoid this issue.
But for a $539 upgrade, it's just not worth it to me. I don't use those
programs often anymore and can't justify a cost of $539 in addition to the
$499 I've already paid. Especially since the $539 already includes most of
the same programs that I already paid for. It's a shame...I wish I had
compared the versions a little better (I don't remember an "ultimate"
version as an option when I bought my Professional) before I bought the
Professional version, but that's MY error.

Thanks again for your help!
