Can a home user (non commercial) use the Academic License of Office Pro

Office 2003 is getting to pricey for a home user.
Thanks.

Suggest you read the End User License Agreement for the Academic version
(or at least read what's written on the box) to see if your
circumstances comply. As written above, I doubt you comply.

Consider Open Office (www.openoffice.org) for free, or it's supported
equivalent sister Star Office (available for a reasonable price at
computer stores).

If you meet the licensing criteria, yes.

You can do anything you want just don't get caught, so get the free 30 day
trial from microsoft and wipe your computer every 29 days. I'm sure you
could also get a 180 day trial of windows xp pro from somewhere. Then all
you need is a couple of hours once a month and a second hard drive to store
all your documents so you don't lose them. I am a student and I know someone
who does that or so they say. Me I bought (mum actually)a new computer with
windows installled so I don't need to do that.
