If you successfully used the upgrade on the old computer, you will need the
disk for the qualifying program that you used for the upgrade, such as
Works, Office 95 or Office 97, or the specific program that you used to
qualify for the upgrade. You do not need to install it, just "show" the
office upgrade installation the CD when it asks for the qualifying product.
If you no longer have the CD for the qualifying product, your license to use
the upgrade is invalid as it requires that all upgrade eligible products
become "one" with the upgrade CD. If you no longer have the upgrade
eligible product, your upgrade CD license is invalid.

|| Hi Richard -

|| In order to install an upgrade version of Office, you must have
|| something to upgrade from - otherwise, the software won't let you
|| install it. Below is an article that lists the qualifying products
|| for
| Office. If you don't have
|| any of those, you will need to purchase the full packaged product.
