Academic Version after Graduate

[laman]

I am wondering if I am still entitled to use my Office XP Academic
Version after I graduated from the University. Anyone knows about it?

If it's an Academic license, I think so, as you simply need to have been
eligible at time of purchase. See
http://www.microsoft.com/education/?ID=eligible

On the other hand the license FAQ for the Student/Teacher edition says
"Should the user's status change due to graduation or otherwise, the student
is no longer entitled to use the product, and should purchase a regular
Office XP Standard license."

YMMV with international academic licenses

My theory (and approach) is that you can go on using it as long as you're
enrolled in the "School of Hard Knocks"...
