Office 2004 - Student and Teacher Ed. Questions

[Mario B.]

after trialing the new office 2004 suite I decided I want to buy it,
mainly because of entourage, but since my sister is a student I would
like to buy the Student and Teacher Edition, but I have a few questions
that I can't find in mactopia website... I live in Portugal, is it
possible to buy the product from amazon.co.uk? Because if I buy the
software in Portugal it will cost me 200 ? at amazon.co.uk it will cost
me 150? (!!!!!!!!!!)... another question, is it possible to order it in
my name and pay it with my credit card, because my sister doesn't have
one!!!! Or do I have to order it in her name, and pay with my card...
How can I be sure that the school where my siter studies is qualified
for the student and teacher edition??? and the last one... since office
for mac doesn't have any of the "activation" thing that we have in
windows, how does the activation work... when I order the package I get
a full box with the cds, manuals and cdkeys, right? and then what,
where do I have to put the information about my sister school???????

Hugs,
Mario B.

I'm sorry for the bad writing, but as I said I'm portuguese...

When I bought the Student/Teacher edition I was never asked about school.
I guess it¹s sort of on the ³honor system². Read the rules on the
Microsoft Mactopia website and if you know you qualify then just buy the
Student/Teacher edition.

Are there any differences in the Student/Teacher version? less features?

is it just the price?

The features are identical. In addition to the lower price, S/T edition
comes with three licenses rather than 1.

Those licenses are, in theory at least, not upgradeable, and are valid
only while the owner qualifies for the S/T edition (e.g., is a student,
parent of a student, teacher, etc).
