Installing my own Office product over computer bundled trial versi

W

I have a 60 day trial version of Office, student & teacher edition 2003
bundled with my computer when I bought it. However, I already have my own CD
of the same product, so I don't need to purchase it. Can I simply install my
own Office CD over the trial version already in my computer, or should I
uninstall the trial version first?

I would uninstall the trial version from the new computer first. It's a
bit more work, but it makes for a much cleaner installation, because
then all of the Office files on your computer will be from the same CD.

I'd almost say that it was mandatory.... Our Dells came with MS Works
w/Office. The first time I tried to install over it and I ended up with
multiple Word installs. Interesting trying to upgrade from the Office Update
site... ;-(

Uninstall first.....
