Hmm... Legally that's OK.

Any of the background processes that run, such as the database daemon
and syncing are specific to Entourage and none of the other
applications. Things like Word X mail merges with contacts in Entourage
2004 may or may not work.

Technically, I don't see a reason why you couldn't do this. Maybe
someone else with experience actually doing this will chime in and let
us know his results.

I don't think this will work due to the shared framework files used by the
other office apps. If you only upgrade Entourage you will get framework
errors when launching the other apps I suspect. This is not something MS
would test or support and do not know about the licensing.

FWIW, it wasn't that way with mixing Office X and Entourage 2004. We use
hosted exchange which licenses us for Entourage 2004, and the machines that
only have Office X run it with no more problems than before installing
Entourage 04.

I'm hoping our host will provide Entourage 08 downloads soon....

I believe so. Because I run Office 2008 and am not familiar with Office X, my only advice would be to make sure that ANY of your Office X applications don't start to act up. If that is the case, you may need to uninstall Entourage 2004 or Office X and install the complete Office 2004.

Hi cwilliams,

You have answered several really old posts today. It's best to leave old
posts closed. Some are so old they are not on the server any longer but only
available on the Mactopia interface.
