Can I apply the SBME upgrade directly to my Standard Office Ed?

R

rowan30

I'm a new small business owner and purchased Standard Office, which doesn't
have all the applications I would like/need. I recently purchased the Small
Business Management Upgrade online, but now I'm worried that I will have to
also buy the Small Bus. Mngment (Standard) Editon to use it. Is this true???
Please help!!!

Hi Rowan,

The Office 2006 Small Business Management Edition is the MS Office 2003 Professional Edition plus the Office 2006 Small Business
Accounting Edition. All of the Office 2003 apps from the standard edition are already included.

What you may want to check is to see if you're showing both Office 2003 Professional Edition and Office 2003 Standard Edition after
installing the new product. The standard edition should no longer be needed.

Be sure to back up all of your files before installing/upgrading any software package that can affect you getting your tasks done.
