Sandaili,

The US and UK schemes are different. You college might be able to broker the deal for you. Look at the US version of the site for more information.

Thanks

David

Not that great, is it. A lot of people go to community colleges in the states where they never give students an email address - the educators do, but students, no. So I am a student and I can't even participate. Having an .edu email address is so stupid.

Firstly Id like to start by saying this could be the best thing microsoft has EVER done. I have used this promotion and recieved microsoft office ultimate for £50 (the licencse + plus the OEM CD). Unfortunatley at the time of writing this it had ended but I'd recommend it to any student, as it may start up again at any moment. There is no long trails of paper work as some reviews above seem to suggest. The deal does sound to good to be true so like me you will be very suspicous but it worked out very well. CD came within 4days (shipped from the US) and was up and away within a few hours.

Definitly worth doing if like me your in the middle of your A2 exams on your way to uni as all academic establishments are upgrading to office 2007.

As they say in ebay A++++ seller would definitley do the transaction again!

Take the plunge now and save yourself £300 !

we got recommended www.software4students.co.uk by our school, you are not limited to a .ac.uk e-mail (I don't have one), as far as I can tell you just need to know someone in education and they seem to have a lot more products, the site is recommended by Microsoft, I suppose it's another option.

Thanks David, I wasn't aware of the fact you could install on 3 PC's which is perfect for our scenario of 2 kids! Still a shame you can't get Ultimate but hey, it's better than a poke in the eye!

IncidentOffice,

Are you aware of the Home and Student version of Office. You can buy it for less than £90 and install it on 3 PCs in the family. This would help your children get the latest software for less than £30 per PC.

thanks

Terry,

Home and Student edition does not have so much in it compared to this offer for Office Ultimate Edition and costs more. Also, you buy, give your university e-mail and that is it most of the time. I don't think this is very complex. History has shown that OEMs aren't very good at the auditing of academic licenses, which is why the process has got more strict.

I think every offer Microsoft makes to customers, no matter which route is a good thing. This is incredibly simple to deliver and everyone wins.

thanks

David

Or alternatively walk into any PCWorld and buy a student license off the shelf - no questions asked!!

The only issue I have with these sort of deals is that by the time you have got all the information you need 'as required' it becomes a long and drawn out affair and with the margins so low is it really worth our time getting involved? Not really

MS need to swap around the way student licenses are issued. It would be easier for OEMs to buy the license, sell the product with an agreement with the end user that they have to produce the documentation otherwise they will be invoiced for the full amount or perhaps some code which checks on student status, and when its not completed or is defaulted it locks the software until an appropriate license is purchased.

As it stands its all about asking for details, waiting, faxing to Suppliers / MS, waiting for the supplier to confirm.

I usually say the end user - ask for software when you get to school / college / Uni because its cheaper and a lot less bother for me.

Great deal, but it's a great pity it's not open to Primary & Secondary students. My lad is in Primary aged 10 and used Word, Excel & Powerpoint every week for course work.
