Office 2003 Academic Licensing

[Tim Evans]

Hi all,

I am wondering about whether I qualify to be the licencee under the new
Office 2003 Student licence. My sister is currently attending University,
whereas I have just left so we now live together with our parents. Of
course my sister is too concerned with her work to be interested in
computery things (her words). That is why I was thinking of buying office
2003 student licence for myself.

On the US section of Microsoft's Office 2003 pages I have read the FAQ
about student licencing and it states that 'you must be a qualified
educational user or a household member of a qualified educational user.'

Does this mean that I would be able purchase and use this product?

What makes me think twice is that the licencing pages of the UK portion
of Microsoft's web site has not been updated for the Office 2003 Student
edition (it is still on Office XP), so I was thinking that there might be
a different licence for Students in the UK (where I am).

Thanks for any replies.

Tim

If it says "or a household member of a qualified educational user" I would
go for it. Sounds legitimate.
