I have a two part question...

1.  We have volume licenses for MS Office 2013 Standard that are used on a Server 2012 R2 Standard RDS server by some of our employees.  We have decided to purchase volume licenses for all employees in the company.  The new licenses will be Office 2013 Pro Plus.  What are my options for updating our RDS server?  Is there a way to update the current install to Pro Plus without an uninstall.

2.  Most of our employees have OEM versions of Office 2010 & 2013 Home and Business installed 32 bit, What are my options for updating the laptops & PC's?  Is there a way to update the current install to Pro Plus 32 bit without an uninstall.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi,

1. If you want to upgrade from the Standard version to the Pro Plus version, you will need to uninstall the Standard version then install the Pro Plus version.

2. There is no direct way to upgrade either, you will need to uninstall the current version then install the new version.
