It is hard to say when it expires. Sometimes will come up for a few days then go away to create some buzz.
I talked to a Microsoft Rep today and this is in fact a full verison as if you would go to BB and buy it for retail pricing. It will not expire with X amount of uses.
He suggests to Burn the dowload on a disc for reloading purposes and that you can also buy the disc for an additional 13$
site said: 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 difference between what you paid and the estimated retail price of the software. So has anyone ever actually been contacted by MS? I work at a University (not a student) and have a university email address.
After using Excel 2007 for six months, I think MS would have to pay me $200 for this offer

I would recommend using Office 2003 over Office 2007. The interface for 2007 changed to something they thought would enhance user friendliness but actually made it more cumbersome. However, to be fair, there were some features that were added that I found useful in the time I used it. Even with the improvements I still chose to downgrade.

When I bought this the first time around, I was actually able to install on more than 3 PCs. Anyone else able to do this?

Will this work if you teach at the college and have a .edu address?
How much extra is it if you want the media sent? It does not look like they show you this price until after you have done the rest of the order and used your e-mail address, etc.
Are they charging sales tax to some or all or is this like the Uni book store and is tax free?
FWW, with a valid student ID you can get Office Pro 2007 Academic for around $80-85 delivered in retail packaging. It includes:
Access 2007 Accounting Express 2008 Excel 2007 Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager PowerPoint 2007 Publisher 2007 Word 2007
Office Ultimate is:
Access 2007 Accounting Express 2008 Excel 2007 InfoPath 2007 Groove 2007 OneNote 2007 Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager PowerPoint 2007 Publisher 2007 Word 2007
So depending on if you want the actual media and its cost, taxes, and if you need or don't need Groove, OneNote, and InfoPath you might think about Office Pro 2007 academic.

The change to the UI takes some getting used to but using the new Excel is a common complaint. One of my co-workers got so frustrated trying to help someone do something in Excel 2007 they finally just went to someone's machine with an older version of Office on it and did the work there .
I should also mention that if you can live with just word, excel, power point, and one note you can get "Office Home and Student 2007" for $75-85 delivered and legally install it on THREE PCs. No student ID or student e-mail required.

As a student, having OneNote makes this deal. FWIW, I purchased from the this site last year. It's the full deal. I have it installed on my desktop and my laptop, and use it regularly for my classes. This was a great deal for me because my campus does not offer discounts on software. Before buying, you might double check with your school to see if they offer special student pricing.

my sister bought herself a copy from her university last year (office professional 2007) - it was the full version with everything - she just bought a new laptop (she has office on her desktop) - can she use that same disc she had earlier for her laptop as well and fall within her license rights? or should she purchase a new copy (this) to be legally compliant?

Please tell me more - Is there is link?
Thanks
Amaz0n has it for $80.49 delivered: Linky-Poo You can find threads here on FW from time time, like this one where it is on sale at Newyegg or d3ll.
Can I install Office Home and Student 2007 on more than one device?
Yes, if you have purchased a retail license of Office Home and Student 2007. The retail license terms permit installation and use of Office Home and Student 2007 on three devices.
We purchased the 2003 version of this and installed it on the PCs of 2 of the kids and on the "family" PC. One son now wants / needs Publisher and perhaps Access so I am looking at this electronic version of ultimate or getting the pro version with his student ID.

The Home and Student retail edition has no expiration date. There is a version that where you pay for a 1 year license and have to pay again each year, but you always get to run the latest version. That is NOT a good deal since new versions are not out every year or even every couple of years.

I would like to thank the op and everyone here. I got this on the 20th and have used it almost everyday. Every class I have this semester is asking for some type of presentation. Not to mention a few prof. will only except homework as attachment emails and will only except word. so thank you very much.

(1) PDF in presentation mode works great, provided your professor has enough intelligence to realize that sound and fly-outs do not contribute to the content. (2) That's why OpenOffice can save in .doc format.
Not to say it's not a decent deal, though may have suggested ignoring this release and hoping they screw up the next version a little less. I'm holding at 2003 for now.

The product also has a spell-check feature. Make sure you turn it on.

I just got the retail version because a class I'm taking required Word 2007, but we have had the 2003 disks since it was released and I swear I've installed it on at least 8 computers over the years with no problems as we have upgraded and added to our laptop collection. I wonder if 2007 will work the same
for those of you majoring in engineering, math, & science field, i find the 2007's equation editor for word much better than the previous one. i highly recommend this if you frequently write lab reports with complex equations.
buyus said: SDkaku said: I bought this a while back... and can't find my DLed version... and can't order the disk... anyone know of a way around it? DL the trial version and use your key to unlock it.
They don't have a trial for ultimate office 2007 I've tried that way... any other way?
You can also buy the following as priced: Visio Pro $56 Office Language Pack $10 (Good if you want spell checkers, etc in non-English languages) http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX102113661033.aspx Vista Ultimate Upgradde $65
2) Not that amazing of a deal if you don't need 2007 features. OpenOffice 3.0 is free & fine for the majority of users nowadays for most uses. Otherwise, a good price for the full Office.
3) For the future, keep in mind Windows 7 and Office 2009/2010 is coming.
If you sign up and go to their Windows and Office launch events, like those already passed for the 2007 products, you can pickup free copies of Windows and Office upon release. (Like I did for Office 97-2007 and Windows through Vista.)
This is great for people who aren't in a hurry to get the latest version, and an older version of Office or OpenOffice does fine for now.
Online Office editors also available. You don't even need to install software to be able to edit, open, and share Office documents! Simply open a web browser, visit Zoho or Thinkfree, and edit away! No need to pay or install!
