the CD when asked to show where the previous version is. Not sure on the
legality of that (it probably isn't) but it works...

Microsoft have a security tool on it that allows you to use the programs a
maximum of 50 times before it shuts Office down, unless you register with
MS. Now (this is certainly true in New Zealand) MS will allow you to
register a maximum of two times with that serial numbered version of Office.
After that, you have to plead your case with MS to allow them to give you
another registration number. I assume this is the case in the US as well.
