Teacher & Student eddition for business use

[Puzzled]

Can Teacher & Student edition be used for business as the more advanced
features found in other types are not required?

No. The Office 2007 Home and Student Edition's Software License
Terms specifically prohibit your using the software for any
commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating business activities.

The applicable excerpt from the EULA for Office 2003 Teacher and
student is below. This should clear up your "puzzled", but if not, the
answer is no.

What happens when the student graduates? Do you have to cease using the
product?

It would seem that is the way the license reads.

What happens when the student graduates? Do you have to cease using the

Correcting myself:
Actually that's not completely true. It says at the time of
installation, so the ex-student could continue to use it for nonbusiness
and as long as he lived at home, his family could too. But if he moves
out then you have two households.
