enjay Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Does anyone know if teachers are okay to buy Office 2007 Home and Student? MS's web site says "Office Home and Student 2007 is licensed only for noncommercial use by households. It cannot be used in commercial (business) situations." but that doesn't categorically permit or deny teachers using it on their personally-owned household computers. Does anyone know who at MS I could ask about this? We're about to start promoting RM's The Basement to the students, but that doesn't cover teachers, meaning we'll need to point staff somewhere else, so we want to be sure we're on the level with whatever we tell them to get.
Diello Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Yes, teachers are fine to buy it. The only restriction is that it has to be for non-commercial use. The retail license allows installation on three devices. Note that you don't get Outlook though. Edited January 9, 2008 by Diello
OutToLunch Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) If you want it straight from the horse's mouth, http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/buy/licensing/student-teacher.mspx Parents and registered teachers of students in full- or part-time education are eligible for a Student and Teacher Licence. The licence covers Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 for Students and Teachers. Incidentally, http://www.theultimatesteal.co.uk/ £38 for Office 2007 Ultimate for students with .ac.uk email address. Bargain! Edited January 9, 2008 by OutToLunch
enjay Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks OutToLunch - I couldn't find that page on MS's site, you'd think it would be linked somewhere from either the product pages for the Office version or their page about academic licences wouldn't you! Sadly our students don't have .ac.uk addresses
crc-ict Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Can't we find a mysterious someone in a high place that could get us edugeek.ac.uk? I've certainly learned more about IT in EduGeek that I did at the genuine .ac.uk's I went to!! :-)
localzuk Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It's such a mean system 'Teacher' and student. Not 'School staff' and student!

PEO Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, teachers are fine to buy it. The only restriction is that it has to be for non-commercial use. The retail license allows installation on three devices. Note that you don't get Outlook though. and you don't get publisher either
mrforgetful Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It's such a mean system 'Teacher' and student. Not 'School staff' and student! Staff at an educational institution qualify if using the software is a large part of their job.
mrforgetful Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 As far as I'm aware Microsoft only ever ship the latest version. You might be able to track down old stock or a second hand copy.
enjay Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 @Niklah - no, which could explain why the last post on this thread was over 3 years ago...
