Office 2003 Student -Teacher Edition

[Victor]

I'm considering buying the Office 2003 Student-Teacher
edition tomorrow. I have a kid in 1st grade in a public
school.
I placed 3 calls to Microsoft and I got 3 different answers
My question is:
Do I need to bring my kid's school paperwork to the vendor
or to I need to submit it directly to Microsoft when I
activate the product.
I would appreciate hearing from someone who has already
gone through the process.

Thanks in advance

I once bought an academic product for my son. Only requirenment was a fax of
his school ID. A report card might also suffice. Ask the vendor.

 

[Victor]

I did,
They all told me that they're just supposed to sell it
period.
Who did you fax the paperwork to?

You do not have to provide any proof at retail - they will not ask as they
do not care.

As Milly says, you do not have to show any proof whatsoever. In fact, you
can order it directly from many online vendors who will never ask for any
proof.

 

[Rich]

My online vendor asked for proof. So that's one.

If they did, it was not at the insistence of Microsoft but rather their own
policy. If this is truly the STE of Office 2003 and not an Academic
version, they are stepping out of bounds.

It was Adobe Acrobat.

That's not the same thing. The OP was asking about the Office 2003 Student
and Teachers Edition. This does not require any proof for purchase.
Academic versions of most programs do, however.
