Trial Conversion/Activation was Successful -- BUT...

After about 5 attempts and several calls to the friendly but useless people
at Digital River, I was able to convert my Trial version of Office. (I chose
Office Standard to avoid the annoying Business Contact Manager).

I downloaded successfully, and activated successfully - but I noticed that I
now have two copies of Office on my hard drive. I am a little surprised the
old version wasn't removed during the new program's installation. It is clear
to me which is the OEM version and which is the new, downloaded and installed
version...BUT...I am leery of deleting the old version.

Any words of advice, support, or caution for me? I'd prefer not to have 500
MB of memory dedicated to a program that I won't use, but am afraid to
delete. I want to delete the old version - what do I do to make sure there
are no little Microsoft accidents that totally disable my (currently)
properly working Office setup?

You can get rid of the trial without any issues of losing old documents or
emails as they are all stored on the hard drive.

Yes, sorry...Add or remove it. I guess you mean by 'Trial' the original
program that came with the PC...not the downloaded program.

that's correct, but before doing so ensure you have the wherewithal to
repair your activated version, either via the origonal download or cd you
may have received
