The process of moving from Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is complete, as far as the data set goes, after you have finished upgrade. However, Office SharePoint Server 2007 has many more capabilities than Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and many things work differently than they previously worked. To learn about the new capabilities and new ways of working in the new environment, see Comparison of key features in this chapter.
The following articles in this chapter describe how to upgrade between different versions or licenses of Office SharePoint Server 2007 or from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Office SharePoint Server 2007:
If you originally installed a trial version of Office SharePoint Server 2007 and are now ready to use the full product, use the steps in Upgrade from a trial version of Office SharePoint Server 2007 to update your environment by entering a new product key.
If you started with the Standard client access license (CAL) for Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can switch to the Enterprise license by entering a new product key and enabling the new features. Use the steps in Upgrade from an Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard CAL to an Enterprise CAL to make this switch.
If you want to move from using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Office SharePoint Server 2007, you essentially install Office SharePoint Server 2007 over Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Use the steps in Upgrade from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to make the switch from collaboration sites to a full published intranet or Internet environment.
You can run both Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 in the same environment to take advantage of both products. For more information about installing Office Project Server 2007 on a server running Office SharePoint Server 2007, see Deploy Office Project Server 2007 with Office SharePoint Server 2007.
