| Sorry, but what you wish to do isn't possible. You see, when you use a
| licence as a qualifying product, the QP licence becomes 'assimilated'

| away the QP you void the upgrade. If you want to Office XP away,
| you'd have to give 2003 away as well as they are now essentially one
| and the same product.
