How to install upgrade version of Office 97 if original product n.

[tickum]

I have an upgrade version of Office 97. It had been installed on my old PC
as an upgrade to Office 95. I no longer have the Office 95 disks and the new
PC has Office Works 8.0, which Office 97 doesn't recognize. How can I get
the Office 97 software to install on my new PC?

You can't. The stipulation of the upgrade licence is that, once you use a
product to qualify for the upgrade, that licence is then 'assimilated' into
the upgrade (two halves of a whole if you like) and the two are then
inseparable. If you no longer own, or have possession of the original
product you used to qualify, then the upgrade licence is rendered null and
void.

And of course it won't recognise Works 8 - you think MS had a time machine
when they wrote Office 97?! You cannot use a newer product as a QP for an
older one - that's just common sense!

Thanks for the answer. Although it was not the one I wanted, it was the one
I expected.

I'm not sure why you felt it was necessary to be so patronizing in your last
paragraph. I said Office 97 wouldn't recognize Works 8.0. I do have enough
common sense to know that MS wouldn't come out with a new product that would
allow an older one to upgrade from it...
