I want to use MS Office XP 2002 for Students and Teachers on my new computer
that has Windows Vista, when I input the 25 number code (Product Key) it
gives me an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers. Microsoft created
this unique suite to give students and teachers in K-12 and higher-education
institutions an opportunity to get Office software at a discounted price.
You can get more done working on your own - and in less time - with Office
XP. Innovations such as task panes and smart tags put relevant features and
options at your fingertips - so you don't have to search for hard-to-find
menu items. Office XP enables you to work more effectively with teachers,
classmates, and others by offering an improved document editing and review
process - and by bringing communication tools like MSN Messenger Service and
MSN Hotmail together with your calendar and contact information. Use Office
XP as a learning hub to access information from multiple locations across a
school or university network and the Web. You can link to relevant resources
when you need them and easily find information with advanced search.

Microsoft Office XP Standard Includes:

Excel 2002

Outlook 2002

PowerPoint 2002

Word 2002

From what I can find it was an Academic version release. Required you
to have documentation to buy.

That was the Amazon link the OP posted. I still find it very odd that it's
not listed in the MS Lifecycle pages, when all the other Home and
Student/Student Teacher versions are...

I am currently looking at the installation package for MS Office XP Standard
for Students and Teachers (Version 2002) It contains 4 programs which are
Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. It can be installed on two computers
(just like the EULA for Office XP retail) but for educational use only
(although the plain language text version of the EULA says it is an OEM
product. In the installed version the EULA says what I quoted for the
retail.) The package has specific restrictions as to qualifications to use.

Remember that the XP S & T version is the only version that does not qualify
for an upgrade to either Office 2003 (when it was offered) or to Office 2007
but S & T for Office 2003 is a qualifying upgrade source for Office 2007.
When I read the EULA for Office XP S & T, it specifically states that it can
not be used to upgrade to any future product (unless MS produced a upgrade
version of S & T which they never have.) That may be the reason for not
including it in the lifecycle list.

And if it's an OEM, then that explains why the OP cannot install on a new
machine...

I haven't had any difficulty installing and activating on two machines
concurrently which leads me to believe that the retail version of the
license agreement is the binding one or at least the one MS looked at when
the product first came out. I don't know why the text version of the EULA
is different than the one which shows once the software has been installed.
There are 3 different versions of the EULA on the actual H & S install disk.
One is in a plain .txt file and the other two are in compiled HTML Help
files named EULA10O.CHM and EULA10R.CHM where they are Office 10 OEM and
Office 10 Retail EULAs.

I've noticed they include the EULA for both the OEM and Retail versions
these days. It's up to the purchaser to determine if they need to follow the
OEM or Retail EULA. The way to determine that is to look at the Product ID
in Help/About. OEM installations contain "OEM" in the Product ID.

Beth, I agree that it is up to the end user to determine what EULA they need
to abide by but with so many different versions of licenses, i.e., trial,
preinstalled OEM, preinstalled Office ready, etc. many people can't
determine which license is appropriate for that user. An example to that is
the thread started by Matt LXIX on 12-30 @ 11:44 AM and the posts that
followed. I believe that I steered the OP correctly in that thread as I
have seen others with the exact issue that could not use the MLK license
with a retail CD.

I wish that Microsoft (and I have requested from MS such be posted
somewhere) would publish a complete and accurate list of all the different
license situations and the various ways of getting those various licenses.
There is no clear cut answer as to whether a MLK license will activate an
installed trial and I have had one person advise that they activated and had
a different person say they couldn't activate under the same situations.
This is similar to the activated trial software (by purchase), some think
that the software can be transferred and/or installed onto two different
computers and others think that it is equivalent to an OEM purchase. I even
requested that one poster respond with a copy of the email (without
identifying information) she received after purchasing a conversion of a
trial but never got the text of the eula or email from her.

It is incumbent upon Microsoft to provide clear, concise information on
their EULAs if people are expected to abide by them. Placing three
different EULAs on a specific install disk that can only be installed one
way is not the way to be clear and concise. Enough ranting for now.

I can't say I disagree with any of this. I wasn't too bad for previous
versions but for Office 2007 it's a nightmare!!
