Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Student and Teacher Edition Rebate

[DE]

I'm trying to fill out my $25 Office rebate but I don't know what to
include as the "original product box top (Certificate of Authenticity)
with the product name and barcode clearly identified from the
product." It came in a clear plastic case with a piece of paper
wrapped around the CD case. The paper has product information, but I
don't see a barcode. There are two clusters of colored squares ("color
bars") with numbers or color names above them. Is this some new form
of bar code?

Do I stand a chance of getting my rebate without this "box top"?

Thanks,

Derrick

I don't remember this coming up before. You might have to ask Microsoft. I
would email them or try asking the store where you purchased the product.

Sorry!

Hi Derek:

That sounds suspiciously like a bootleg copy to me.

If you have a genuine copy, there should indeed be a bar code on the outer
packaging. Look for a silver holographic sticker with a bright orange
product key sticker beside it.

Both should be on the back of the CD case.

And "no", without the certificate of authenticity, you won't get any rebate


Hope this helps
