Transition from Trial Version to Store Purchased CD

I started using CrossOver MAC with a free trial version download. I liked the program and bought the s/w package from Best Buy so I had a CD. I am attempting to install and register the new CD and I am unsure if I have to delete the trial version first and then what happens to MS Office 2003 and Quicken files I have transferred/created? Any help on how to transition from the free trial version to the store purchased version without starting from scratch and losing my files would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You should be able to archive your bottles first and foremost (please do this via CrossOver).

Next, when you register online with us you can download the latest version (I guarantee the one in the box is out of date).

Remove CrossOver with the instructions here (leaving the intact archived bottles where you can find them):

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/crossover-mac/faq#id2501076

And then preform a clean install of CrossOver.

Once the latest version of CrossOver has been installed you can use CrossOver to restore your archived bottles.
