These are the steps to update existing Entourage 2008 clients to the Web Services Edition.

Step 1 : Make sure that the existing version of Entourage is version 12.2.9. You can install Office 2008 updates by clicking on the Help > Check for Updates menu, in Entourage. Then use the Microsoft AutoUpdate utility to download the latest updates, to bring the version to 12.2.9.

Step 2 : Download the Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads . This is found under the Office 2008 downloads section.

Step 3 : Quit Safari and Office applications and run the update installer.
