My trial period is over. What do I do now?

My operating system is Vista Ultimate. I've been using a trial version of
Office Professional 2007. The trial period is over and Microsoft says I must
buy. I'm looking for the easiest way to "get legal." I've ordered the new
software from Amazon. When it comes can I just apply the new product keys to
what's already installed? Or can I do a repair-install? Or do I just have to
go ahead and do it the hard way: delete all the installed Office 2007 files
I now have and re-install the whole thing from scratch? What's the easiest
way for me to go? Any good advice will be appreciated.
Thanks, Bill Boylan

You should be able to use the new product keys to convert the trial to full
versions.
