So, After upgrading it to Professional, I shouldn't use it for work?

It's normally recommended to UNinstall the trial version prior to
installing the version you purchase. This bypasses most of the little
"gotchas" that pop up from the Trial installation. So basicly after you
have the disc, uninstall the mess and reinstall it to get the S&H trial
version out of there.

So I can uninstall and then reload it from the upgrade suite I bought?

You do have qualifying software? That IS required to take advantage of
the "upgrade" pricing.

And what "200-2007 Office program or suite" do you currently own and
have install media for?

A trial version is exactly that, a trial. It's a sample and at the end
of 60 days it expires. It isn't qualifying software. You will need to
have a legit version of qualifying software if you want to use an
"Upgrade" version of Office 2007.

Perhaps you didn't buy what you thought you did. I can only guess, based
on the evidence you provide. An upgrade version of Office requires
qualifying software. On the other hand the Office 2007 Home and Student
has no upgrade version BUT a purchased copy may be used as the
qualifying software for the Upscale editions.
