Does anyone know...

I have a copy of Office 2007 which I purchased as a student a few years back. Now that Office 2010 is available I can purchase this again as a student. Am I allowed to continue using Office 2007 or does it have to be an upgrade from 2007 to 2010. I only ask as Office 2010 would be on a different computer, so would like to keep 2007 on my laptop, and keep them both updated etc...

Am I ok to do this? I am still considered a student so purchasing and verifying my status is straight forward. Its the issue of having two student licences for similar products.

Many Thanks

If you're buying Office 2010 as a new package David, you would still be entitled to your Office 2007 licence. If you buy it as an upgrade then no as far as I am aware.

Thats great cheers Paul. It will be the complete package not the upgrade.

The office 2007 student / teacher license we have allows installation on up to three machines. So if the new version is the same you could have the new version on both. Worth a look.

That'd be a bonus I'm eligible for the academic licence so probably worth a look - Thanks Duncan.

BONUS

Just bought the Academic licence version for two computers (better than home and student, which apparently doesn't have Outlook, Publisher or Access) for less than £40 delivered.

According to the EULA, I can pass my Office 2007 academic licence on to another member of my family. SWMBO can in future use her own PC for her correspondence

Have they altered the package for 2010 then? My 2007 version have Outlook and Access but not publisher, not that I need it. I could do with Outlook though for the new PC. May check the terms of the purchase of 2007 and see if I can put it on 3 machines. Save some pennies!

I was able to buy my dad an additional complete copy as he is a parent of a student!

Very good price as well, I thought

I thought so to. I paid £38 for the 2007 with 5 programs. So was pleased at £42 delivered for 2010 with all those! Downside is 3 day delivery, not that im in a rush, I still have no desk!

Cheers for the link Paul

I have used them before when I bought Office 2007.

They are a very good company.

Just remember you won't get the product in a standard retail box - most likely you will just receive 2 CD/DVD's in standard MicroSoft plastic slleves - with the product code on the back of one.

I don't mind how it comes, sleeves are better than boxes. Less to store/throw away.

Might have to get the CS5 master collection before my student status runs out as well! I have another year at least yet though!

I must admit, I found that tempting at the price quoted

Saves me a DVD though

Holy hell fire, that was fast

One of my neighbours just brought my software round to the house. Apparently it was delivered this morning.

Oooo! Maybe mine will come tomorrow, that is fast!

Read the CS5 T&C's and you have to send off to Adobe for the Serial Codes. Just need to find out what kind of proof you need to send them, that price is too good to miss out on.

Got round to installing this today

No nasty surprises. It comes on three genuine Microsoft DVDs complete with product code and installs and activates perfectly.

The only caveat is that if you want to install the 64 bit application you must first remove any 32 bit office software, which my Office 2007 was.

I'm a happy bunny

So when you refer to student licence, you don't mean the licence I got provisionally as a student but am still using to drive my 75 30 odd years later??????????
