ultimate steal

[Trudy]

I am trying to uplaod my ID card to the ultimate steal site (since my school
does not give students email id's) and it doesn't load. What should I do?

 

[JoAnn Paules]

If you don't have an edu address, you have to be a student at one of the
schools listed on
http://store.digitalriver.com/servl...ASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=msshus&pbPage=schools

good news for you


while the ultimate steal eligibility emhasizes 2 conditions
1. that you have an email address ending in .edu
2. OR that you have an email address at a school that is on their list

after hovering over the "Am I Eligible" subhead, you get the first 2
conditions, but if you click on the link for the "Full Terms and Conditions
you will discover that there is third way to qualify

3.

""" OR
Submission of school enrollment: Submit verifiable school enrollment via the
validation process[LINK provided there]; AND

2. Individual must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must
be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide
proof of enrollment upon request. """

so just use these two LINKS and you'll be fine:

http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/terms.aspx

http://ms.bluehornet.com/surveys/submit_my_id/en_us

it's too much of great deal to not read ALL the fine print.
good luck

btw, you can start your own search for this stuff on the ultimate2007 home

okay trudy
now that i've actually reread *your* post and not the MVP's mistaken one....

sorry about that, *you* obviously knew all that already. I don't know the
answer about the uploading. i'd just make sure you're meeting all the
requirements there about info provided and upload limit.

in any case, the info above ought to be helpful for JoAnn Paules and others.

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

There was a top level requirement on
http://microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/terms.aspx
that you did not mention that could be rather important as far as qualifying

"All eligible university students are entitled to make a purchase from the promotion site as described further below."

For what Microsoft is considering a 'university' in this context might require a phone call or two <g>.

Also worth noting is that there are are also special prices on
Windows Vista Ultimate upgrades in the same qualification link.

Interesting that up to four licenses for each product can be purchased if one meets the qualifications. Hmmm, that barbecuing class
is 0.5 credits.

I did read that and since the OP never stated whether her school was
eligible, etc, I felt it was better that she read the terms herself and if
she had further questions, she could follow up with them where appropriate.

.....

okay, but what i read in your answer is "If you don't have an edu address,
you have to be a student at one of the schools listed on ...""
that's not true, though ms doesn't get to that until step 2 or 3. that's my
point. you don't have to attend a school on their list. you can upload
proof, which is what she was having trouble with (i eventually realized).

[ohnonotnow!]

......
"All eligible university students are entitled to make a purchase from the promotion site as described further below."

......

yes i suppose that's true, but at least one of the schools on their
prequalified list is a 2 year community college, so they are not exactly
strictly using the university definition i'd say. in any case, the uploading
of the information that the program requires will get the applicant the
answer one way or the other.

and i did notice the liberal 0.5 credit requirement. so bob, that along
with cc's being in play, looks like indian summer bbq class for you! what a
deal -- 10 office 2007 programs for $60 and sauce, too.

[Koolpamom]

I purchased the ultimate steal and it is telling that I am past 30 days to
download it but I do not have it on any other computer and I just bought a
new one and I want to put it on this computer.

 

[Earle Horton]

You should have made a backup of the download file or of the expanded
installation directory. Failing that, you should have paid for extended
download or the installation DVD...

[JoAnn Paules]

The disk is only $13. Seems like a mighty small amount to pay for a little
security.

I am a student at the Penn Foster Career School and my instructer told me about the special offers for the students in microsoft office 2010. My name is Barbara English. My student ID is 21338796. The student service number is 1-888-427-1000. I cannot finish my classes without the Microsoft office applications. I have sent several emails and I have not received a response. Please allow me to purchase this item to continue my studies. My personal email is (e-mail address removed). I also sent you an email from home when I am not working. Please hurry my studies have come to a complete stop. Thanks

First of all, you replied to a post from 2008, instead of starting your own.

Second of all, you can't get that kind of help in this forum.

Thirdly, you have published personal information on the internet, which
is very, very stupid. Look out for what might now happen, including
identity theft.

You will NOT get a free copy of office. Check out Ebay and do a yahoo
search on Microsoft Office. I paid less than $100 for my full 2007 student
edition with Publisher and Access and others. It turn out that I never
needed it for any of my classes. My existing Office XP would have been more
than sufficient. My statistics class was based on 2007, but XP already did
everything I needed and would NOT have affected my class work even to this
day by not having a newer version. Make sure you really, really, really,
really, really, really need a newer version, i.e. your instructors will
only accept files in the newer format or that the insignificant additions
in the newer versions are actually absolutely necessary.

eBay is the absolute worse place to purchase any software for a computer,
the next worse is the Amazon marketplace (not Amazon.com itself or
fullfilled by amazon sites.) There is so much software piracy going on at
these sites you would have a better chance of winning the next 3 Mega
Million lotteries in a row than getting valid software from those sites.

Interesting, I have several legal, legitimate software packages purchased
from both those locations. They were fully registered and supported by the
manufacturers.

Consider yourself lucky. Hopefully they will remain valid. Many MS
software will activate and will become invalid once enough pirated programs
have been sold with the licenses purchased by the pirates. Windows 7 and
Office 2010 are right now the most commonly pirated (and sold) software on
eBay and it may take 3-6 months or more for it to be noted as invalid.

These are pretty good pirates with the hologram and packaging identical to
OE you buy in the stores. However, some are of course not new, such as my
Quickbooks. Still installed and registered correctly.
