    I just noticed while looking at my installed programs that I have 2 Microsoft Offices(Enterprise and Student). I believe I have only Enterprise...can I uninstall Student. Or no. ;x

    I think one of them might be a trial. Check.

    I didn't install/DL any trials
    Check...I don't even see Home and Student.
    I to to my program list, right click any office program and the target says Enterprise.

    I just don't want to uninstall Home and Student and have it eff over my paid enterprise. ;o
    its a huge file as you can see in my ss

    If you bought the laptop new and did not remove Home & Student or activate it, then it is a trial. Uninstall it, worst case is that you need to use system restore to go back.

    I wouldn't have thought that it would allow itself to install side by side though. You might have to uninstall both and reinstall Enterprise.

    They allow side by side installs because some editions lack applications that other editions have ;)

    Look at your office disks that you paid for. They will say. Also, did you spend 600 dollars on office or 150? I think you would know what you bought ;)

    I didn't buy a CD. I bought a serial key.
    So uninstalling Works, won't uninstall Windows Address Book right?

    If you're not sure, you'll probably want to make a system restore point just in case, and then you can go uninstalling things.
