MS Word 2003 Upgrade: What Does "Upgrade" Mean?
Hello,
I have a question about MS Word 2003. I see a software package that says MS Word 2003 Upgrade. It confuses me. What does the "Upgrade" mean exactly? Is this a fully operational program or does there have to be a previous program to be "upgraded"? If I purchased this, can I just put it on my computer and start using it? Is it a fully operational program as it is? Currently I have an expired version of MS Word 2003 on my computer now. I was just thinking about deleted it. Your replies are most appreciated. Sabio |

MS Word 2003 Upgrade: What Does "Upgrade" Mean?
I do not see a way for me to delete my own post, so I will post what I have found. It seems I have found the answer I was looking for. It is below: "An upgrade version of software means that you area previous user of that exact program, or you are a previous user of a qualifyingproduct that is identified from the manufacturer. In order to install thispiece of software, you will need to have the previous version or qualifyingproduct already installed on your system, otherwise the software packagewill not load. The only difference between the full version of the softwareand the upgrade version of the software is the first lines of code - whereit will first look for the previous version of that application or a qualifyingproduct identified by the mfg. If it finds any of those items, then theentire full version of the software package will load." =========== Thanks, Sabio |
