Query on upgrade - Student/Teacher Edition

[Bill]

I purchased the Student/Teacher edition of Office X in
March of this year. At the time the salesperson said an
upgrade to 2004 would be available. I have since heard
that upgrading the Student/Teacher edition is not possible.

Any advice out there on whether or not I can upgrade and
what the procedure is to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

In the normal way you can't upgrade between versions of Student and Teacher
edition- they're already cheaper than any upgrade would be. But if you
bought your copy between Jan 6 and July 31, 2004 (in the US - different
dates apply in other countries) you are entitled to the FREE upgrade to
equivalent 2004 S&TE. Go to

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004tg

at MacTopia, and download the Technology Guarantee Coupon there. It
specifically lists that edition with a Free upgrade to STE 2004, and really
inexpensive upgrades to Standard and Pro 2004 as well.

You need to follow the instructions on the coupon to get your free upgrade.
