Quick software4students question

I've just ordered Office Professional for my children from software4students. If I download and install the trial version from Microsoft in the meantime, will I simply be able to type in the product code to unlock it to the full version when my order arrives, or will I have to uninstall the trial version and install Office again from the disk?

Or try Open Office until MSoffice arrives. It will have full functionality out of the box, so to speak.0

The product key that comes with the software will only work with the official full version on the CD/DVD. If you don't uninstall the trial version first it's likely you'll run into problems.
As a general rule for installing any software, uninstall the trial first. It saves hassle in the long run.0 -
