Where does it say that? I'd jump on this deal.

How many computers does one key allow?
Student and Teacher edition used to be 3, and Professional was 2 (1 desktop + 1 laptop). This was back in 2003 though.

Bwahahaha!

You're worse than me...

I'm running Office 2000 (8 years-old) on Vista Home Premium with no problems!

Hey, whatever works, right?!?!?!

iirc (i was only 10 in '97 ) office 97 sucked. 2000 was awesome, though. we were using that up til last year (laptop came preloaded with office 2003). 2000 and 2003 are great, by my experience, the latter just looks nicer. 2007 is TOTALLY different though (at least Word). i'm not sure if it's a good thing.

My aunt upgraded her home business computer to a modern PC from an IBM AT just 3 years ago:Q

Wow... I got my copy of Office 07 and [previously] 2003 from my school for, well, free. If you ask me, any of you college kids that are having to pay for this software are getting ripped off.

all Office 2007 Ultimate's are the same, right? this is EXACTLY the same thing you'd get regularly from Newegg, Fry's, Bestbuy, etc.?

also, does anyone know if there's a limit? or whether you can resell it? cause there's a few people i know that want Office 2007 but won't get it due to cost. i'm willing to get them a copy for $60 + tax...not for free though.

tia

AFAIK it can't be resold since it's a student version. Which also means it comes w/o printed documentation and is not a boxed version.

Then only a minority is not getting ripped off. What are you majoring in? At my university there are different schools that have different deals with Microsoft. Some students have to pay the "full" price (which is still much less than the retail price) for their student version of Office, business majors pay only $10 for the Pro version... I would have to pay ~$65 for the Pro version. So, $60 for the Ultimate sounds like a great bargain to me.

She's probably not playing the latest games on that rig is she?

 

[BrettCB]

Is it confirmed that you can install this on more than one computer?

Not everybody's college lets them download warez off of the torrents, dude.

download only? I'd prefer a CD too.

in the order process, a cd will be shipped for a nominal fee

I saw the comment about shipping a physical CD for a nominal fee, but I never saw anything after that.

I emailed them and asked about the DVD. Here is the reply I received:

"Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Student Hero online store.

Unfortunately, DVD is not available at this time.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please reply to this
e-mail."



Lame.:frown:

 

[taltos1]

Anyone figure out what the "Extended Download Service" for $5.95 is, at first I thought this was that nominal fee for the DVD/CD.... Also, is it confirmed this can be installed on more then 1 PC?

Thanks

Would a junior in high school be eligible? His school lets them have email address through the school server (though few use them). He has been asking for this as he is getting tired of constantly having to covert from the Office '97 that I gave him back in elementary school.

Has anyone actually downloaded this and installed it yet. It seems shady....

There is nothing shady about it -- it is an official microsoft promotion.

I'm interested in this thing about installing it on multiple computers

Yes and they billed my credit card for the correct amount as well. Activated just fine.

Good question, I would like to use it on my desktop and my laptop.

From "The Ultimate Steal" page:

"Can I only install this software on one computer?
As with any Microsoft® Office software you buy at retail, you are licensed one copy of the software for use on one device and are allowed to install another copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device."




Extended download allows you to download the purchased software from Digital River for up to a year after purchase (iirc it was a year) as opposed to the standard 30 days from date of purchase.

Sweet, so I can put it on my desktop and my laptop!

 

[OneStepsAhead]

Microsoft or an appointed vendor may contact you to verify that you are a current student. If documentation is not provided indicating that you are a current student, you will be liable to reimburse Microsoft for the full retail cost of the software ($679)

The solution to that is to get a one-time credit card # from your card issuer, and put a limit of, say, $65 in the one-time card. Then they won't just be able to TAKE your money...

Super sweet. I was wondering about that.

The only competition that is driving this deal is competition from pirated versions. You think MS is offering this deal to college students because they're afraid of OpenOffice?

Does the software work even after you are done with school? (this is my last semester but would love to have Office07 for $60)

It's perpetual licensing I believe, so you are licensed forever.
Although to qualify for this initial purchase you should be ready to provide proof of eligibility should they request it.

 

[Parasitic]

By the way if you want the CD's (yes, it's CD's not DVD's) you can order them separately for $12.95. They come with no licenses, however, so you still need to pay the $60 for a product key.
