I am thinking of purchasing the upgrade version of Office 2008 on a new computer. Do I need to load the Office 2004 software first or will the serial/registration numbers from the 2004 software be enough?
Thanks,
Lou

It'll probably ask you for the serial number of the 2004 version during the install. This is what other Apps do if you have a upgrade version to install and don't have the previous one already on your machine.
Yea, that's how most Microsoft (recent versions of Windows and Office) upgrades work... insert the old CD (or sometimes even the new CD! *cough*Vista) during the install process to show that you have it, no need to preinstall unlike Apple.
