They control it by requiring you to provide proof that you qualify. I know
because I sold it for several years and *had* to fax the proof to Microsoft
before they would authorize the sale.

Mike Fox said:Is it a full version of Office Pro 2007? I'm retired and money is
tight, so it would be worth it to enroll in a free seniors course at
the local college. How does Microsoft control it? It looks like I
could just order it over the internet.
Mary Sauer said:The version is called Home and Academic. There is no student qualification
needed unless you want the discount.
The suite will say it is not for commercial use.

Are you eligible for Microsoft academic discount pricing?

To purchase an Academic version you must be enrolled at a qualified
educational institution.
JoAnn Paules said:There is a Home and Student edition, which is for non-commercial use and
you're corrent when you say there's no student qualification. Academic is
different. The is an academic version of Office Pro. That's where the
qualifier comes in. Believe me, Microsoft has hard and fast rules about who
gets that discount. No qualifier - no academic pricing. It 's $199 for
Office Pro. (This info applies to US pricing and rules only.)

ccara said:I have been searching the microsoft website for 3 hours to find the text of
the Academic license statement - what exactly it says. Nothing anywhere. I
found what you all ahve mentioned but does one have to buy it to findout what
the license says? Does it also give the owner of the license the right to put
it on a portable device in addition to the desktop computer?
Companies really vary in what they permit. I checked on Autocad for my
boss's son (a few yesrs ago. The day you are not a student, you had to
uninstall or upgrade it to a full version.
I would like to read all the licenses for other Microsoft products. In fact
it would be interesting to know if there is one website which has all the
licenses for the major software products available.
Does anyone have help with that?
Thank you.
