you did not need 2 separate threads for the same URL

I am waiting for my MSDNAA portal for my school to have Office 2010. Its not up yet and I am pissed lol. The beta has many bugs.

Two separate deals--or maybe you missed that?

For what it's worth (and it's probably been covered before) microsoft also has a home use program. I found out I was eligible through work and was able to get office 2010 pro for $10

Nice link. But when you quit work for the qualifying company, your rights to use the software cease as well per the MS License Agreement

 

[dabuddha]

Isn't the student version the same? Meaning once you're not a student anymore, you can't use it anymore? Or is this one different (I didn't read the LA for this one)

 

[bruceb]

Might be. But in reality, who follows it ? ? And can they find out if you still use it ? ?
I don't see how they could.

The Office 2007 allows two users per license.

I have no idea about the credibility but here is a post from a user on SD concerning this deal:

Office 2007 student version was good for up to 3 computers (all in the same household).

2010 is the same.

EDIT:
Nevermind, this is the Pro/Academic version of Office, not Office Student. Also it appears there are 2 versions of Office Student. The download version is good for 1 person on 2 computers (ie you can install it on 2 computers but can't use both at the same time) or there is the Disk version (costs $30 more) and its good for 3 computers in one household like 2007 was.

isn't OpenOffice.org (aka Sun Microsystem's PC version of Office) still free to students?

It's open source and will always be free, but the compatibility still sucks with Microsoft Office. You essentially cannot rely on your documents looking the same in Office and vice-versa.

If all you do is type reports for paper submission and never share documents with Office users then OpenOffice works great.

I just got the Microsoft Office Professional Plus through my work ($9.95 and the email has the 25 character key) but I also ordered the backup media ($12.95). The backup dvd arrived in 2 days (email said 4 to 6 weeks). I installed and ran all copies on 2 PCs and a laptop via the microsoft DVD with no problems.

i have tried to get this, and my order never goes through, always says there was an error processing my order on the digitalriver site.

I checked the licensing agreement for Office 2010 Professional from the link on the ultimate steal site. It is not specifically for the student version.

This is what it says:
"a. One Copy per Device. You may install one copy of the software on one device. That device is the “licensed device.”

b. Licensed Device. You may only use one copy of the software on the licensed device at a time.

c. Portable Device.
You may install another copy of the software on a portable device for use
by the single primary user of the licensed device. "

Does this include the 64-bit version of Office 2010?

Can one get in on this if they already got in on the one for Office Ultimate 2007 this past December?

I had it dl'd 3 times but the install error's out everytime.

i finally managed to complete the download using chrome. it installed fine on my desktop (windows 7), but then errored out installing on my laptop. (XP Pro)

i reformatted my laptop, and retried, and it worked.

Once again... Is this a separate offering? Thanks

just fucking try it. if it rejects your email, then you didn't get it on it. if it doesn't reject, then you're good.
