They mean to upgrade your trial to the fully paid version, not purchase an
upgrade version. Re-read the instructions.

You're confused. Newer versions of Works and Works Suite are qualifying
products for upgrade to Office 2003. Some computer manufacturers
preinstall both a full version of Works and a trial version of Office
2003 on new computers. But Office 2003 Trial Version is NOT a
qualifying product for upgrade, even if the trial key is printed on the
Works CD case.
