I own a Office 97 Pro upgrade.  However I had to wipe my disk and
reload office.  I also trashed any of the qualifying products during a
house cleaning. Is there a work around.  I'm running Win98SE.

Request for Question Clarification by huntsman-ga on 12 Jul 2002 00:16 PDT

ksb,

What brand and model of PC do you have? Did any software like
Microsoft Works, Word, Office, etc. come pre-installed on it?

If you have a "restore" CD that came with your PC, you may be able to
reinstall the qualifying Microsoft applications, then reinstall the
Office 97 Pro upgrade over them.

Thanks,
huntsman

Unfortunately finding a workaround to convert the upgrade version to
become full version can be considered illegal. If you still have proof
of ownership for qualifying products, you might want to contact
microsoft to obtain replacement of the missing application.
