SUMMARY
Microsoft Office XP is available in two versions, a non-upgrade version that you can install on any compatible computer, and an upgrade version that requires that a qualifying product be installed on your computer or that the installation media from the qualifying product be available when you run the Setup program.
This page lists the products that qualify you to use the upgrade version of Office XP. The non-upgrade version does not require a qualifying product.
MORE INFORMATION
There are generally three rules for upgrading to Office XP:
- Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are the only valid upgrade products for the Office XP suites. You cannot use the Academic Edition of Office 97 or Academic Edition Office 2000 as a qualifying product.
- Office 97 stand-alone products and Office 2000 stand-alone products are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products. But will only upgrade that particular product, not the entire suite.
- Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products only if the Office XP stand-alone product is included in the corresponding Office 97 suite or Office 2000 suite*.
*The exceptions are Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Microsoft Publisher 2002. Please see "No Upgrade Path for Outlook 2002" and "Upgrade Rebate for Publisher 2002" later on this page for more details about these products.
