Can't install Office Pro Upgrade

K

Karen

I had to replace my hard drive & I need to reinstall
Office. However, I have only the Upgrade disks, not the
old version which I replaced with the Upgrade. I am not
allowed to install because it can't find an older version
on my new hard drive. Is there anything I can do short
of spending hundreds of dollars on another set of disks?
Thanks.

If your version of Office is an upgrade, the license for that version
specifically states that you are required to retain the qualifying product
as long as you use the license. If you do not have a qualifying product,
your license is invalid. Start saving up.
