New purchase/activation

[BRE]

New computer has trial version. I can purchase new H/S 2007 at discount. Do I
need to uninstall current software, then re-install purchased version to
activate? Or just use activation key from new software to activate included
trial version without installing again?
Thanks for you help.

Uninstall the Trial version and also the Activation Assistant before attempting to
install your purchased version

If you have trouble uninstalling fro Add\Remove then see the following

Uninstall Trial version and Activation Assistant first, then you may
install your purchased version, I reboot between removal and installation.
