883805 2010-05-11 06:13:00 If someone installs the Office 2007 Professional trial, and then buys the Student and Home edition, am I right in thinking that when they enter their key to activate it, it will disable the components they're not licensed for? i.e. the Pro version included Outlook, but the H & S version doesn't so will the license key disable this?

Hope that makes sense! :D

Your best bet is to either install the trial H&S then it will work - or uninstall the pro, and install the H&S. All documents etc, will remain intact.

:xmouth:

BUT here are all versions (www.microsoft.com) Select the one you want, you will need a Live ID to download them, but thats easy to make and is free. ( if you dont already have one that is) -- Enjoy

Unsure about retail and olp.

883812 2010-05-11 19:46:00 Have seen that the toaster shops are selling PC's with trial office 07 and know of at least 2 cases where the people set up outlook to do their emails and once trial period was up they went back to the shop and were sold H&S and had it installed and all their emails and contacts got wiped and they were not told this would happen. In both cases I only found out afterwards so wasn't able to advise them. But it does explain the mentality of toaster shops gary67 (56)
