Ebuyer have it for £159. Your other alternative is to use something like Open Office: http://www.openoffice.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Home/Student copy? Or Office 2010 Essentials (I think it's called) - Has MS Office adverts while using though and could be an OEM only product. They will both have Word, Excel, Powerpoint and either Outlook Home or Live Mail. Cheapest way would be to just get a product key card from Amazon or somewhere else reputable. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0039L31JY/ref=...ASIN=B0039L31JY £59.99 to upgrade your trial to Home & Student 2010 If you need to install again in the future, download the trial and install it with your Home & Student 2010 key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What windows you running and also is it 32bit or 64? It's a new laptop so I would say probably Windows 7 more than likely 64bit running 32bit OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fussy if it's 2007 or 2010 tbh Probably an Enterprise version. In these the code is preset and registered to the company. The uni where I work got into all kinds of sh*t with Microsoft when our enterprise version turned up on a warez site. If you know someone with an education (xxx.ac.uk) email address you can get the full version for £49.99 direct from Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If you know someone with an education (xxx.ac.uk) email address you can get the full version for £49.99 direct from Microsoft. ... which would be an invalid license, so you may as well just pirate it.

Not necessarily. Parents of students are allowed to buy and use this and the licence is perpetual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
