60-Day Trial Version of Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 for Students and Teach

[Barby104]

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that I would not get a
CD mailed to me from Microsoft if I buy it online through the conversion
process. I want to install this the easiest way possible -- I am not
terrifically compute literate when it comes to installing software.

']If you only buy a product key, then you won't get a cd. The best would
be to
buy a cd along with the product key from a retailer. If you do it
online,
you'll get the product key instantly and you can always reinstall
Office
from your trial disks using your purchased key.

When I purchased my HP computer, it came with 60-day trial of
Microsoft
Office Standard Edition 2003 for Students and Teachers. I never got
any reminders that it would be taken off after 60 days but on
February
28th it stopped working. I knew that would happen eventually. I
went
to convert it and noticed that I am not eligible for the Students and
Teachers version. If I upgrade to the Microsoft Office Standard
Edition 2003 which is $239 (versus the student version of $149) and
do
this online through the Microsoft site for converting, will I get a
CD
from Microsoft in case my hard drive crashes at some point? Or will
I
have to purchase the CD from a retailer to get the CD? Also, if I do
this online, will it be an easy install or do I have to wait for the
CD
and do it that way? Has anyone done this before?

If you only buy a license, then no, you won't get a cd. If you'd buy the
full package, then you'd get a cd. If you just normally order an Office
suite, then you'll get cds but you have to wait until the package arrives.
