I know I know. You can get open office or download a ripped copy but I think $11 is a fair price for it.

Hello all. I found a sweet deal for microsoft office pro for
$11. (not a rip off or spam). If you're using a ripped off copy here's your chance to get a legit copy.
Go to this link: Microsoft Home Use Program - Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. The software suite includes Word, Excel PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access and more! (http://www.microsofthup.com/hupca/home.aspx?culture=en-CA)

You can approach it a couple of ways:
1_(for my co-workers) Use your fraserhealth email.
2_You can use your hotmail and gmail email accounts and use the code: FF2ABA8835
3_Students You can use school email address (your mileage may vary for this one) Ryerson, university of ottawa works. Mcgill does not
Congrats you have your almost free and legit copy of microsoft office. =)

Legally, it's not a legit copy, unless you work for Fraser Health, or attend an approved school, or an employee of a MS Volume license customer. Might as well use that $11 for beer money.

[SkinnyPupp]

It gives a legit key, and that's all that matters really. Technically not legal, but it's better than straight pirating it IMO

[Psykopathik]

good price to get an official virus free copy. old software or not :D

[freakshow]

I think Presto is saying, from an ethics standpoint, you might as well keep the $11, because fraudulently pretending to meet the requirements is the same as just illegally pirating it.
If you want it just so that you don't have to *bother* pirating it, that's a different story..

[InvisibleSoul]

Or you can pay the $11 to avoid having to deal with activation issues with real pirated versions.

$11 VS $669 @ Microsoft (http://www.microsoftstore.ca/shop/en-CA/Microsoft/Office/Office-2010-Suites?WT.term=mocrosoft+office&WT.mc_id=pointitsem_Microsoft+CA_google_Office+-+EN&WT.medium=cpc&WT.campaign=Office+-+EN&WT.content=Ua2rq1bU&WT.srch=1&WT.source=google&cshift_ck=A317D5BA-1DBB-4D51-B81B-CC0AA6387BC8csUa2rq1bU)

christ....

[Jmac]

Good deal. I used to get it for free when I worked at Staples, but $11 is easily worth it compared to using the free alternatives, especially if you use spreadsheets. The freebies aren't even close to Excel ...

[CP.AR]

still using the copy I bought when I was in UBC (Office 2007 Ultimate)... Having used 2010 at work is not worth the upgrade :heckno:

[SkinnyPupp]

I have 2 legit copies for me and my wife, but I am picking this up since I am still using 2003 on my laptop. I paid $50 for our copies I think, when there was a student deal

[flagella]

Nice. Thanks!

[Acura604]

thanks op! finally can get rid of my 2007 edition.

[Preemo]

Sweet! Thanks!!!!

[Fcukedd]

Is this a limited time offer?

[CRS]

Is this a limited time offer?

I believe so.

IIRC, they have this once every (few) years and it only lasts for a few weeks.

We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.
The following problem(s) exist:
You must accept the HUP Terms and Conditions to proceed with your order.

There isn't an Accept button. Anyone else getting this?

[nns]

It wouldn't accept my BCIT email address, and the link it sent to my Gmail address didn't work. Hotmail address worked though.

Will this install work on 64-bit Windows 7?

Yes.

Regardless of OS, it is just a microsoft office pro bundle.

You could install in this in ALL windows OS. Could probably do Win 95 if you were still running that.

:lol

Here's the 64bit link for Office from digitalriver:

Just enter the code you received in your email to activate it.

I bought this yesterday, downloaded and installed. No problems. Now I don't gotta keep rearming it. It's 13 dollars for an actual CD.

[winson604]

Used my gmail, had no issues and download is in progress as we speak.

Weird. I think if you used KMservice or whatever it was called, you didn't have to constantly re-arm. Never had to re-arm mine in the two years I had Office installed.

In any case, amazing deal.

[Not really racist!]

is this working for anybody? i get an error for the FF code

[winson604]

No issues with anything so far. Fully installed and working as it should be.

[Manic!]

Looks like it's down now. Did one a few days ago no problems tried to do another with the code FF2ABA8835 today and it did not work.


Used the license key I got a few days ago and used on another instal and it worked.

Yup. It's 2 installs per license key.

[turbanator]

Have you read the rest of this thread?

[Presto]

Also, check and see if your company is part of the HUP. If not, get them to sign up. The company I work for received the HUP, recently.

Does it really cost a lot for MS to develop these word doc programs and Windows OS? Never quite understand why these software costs consumers hundreds of dollars on the market. The only legit MS software I have are only when it comes preloaded with a laptop. I remember trying to get Win 7 Ultimate through one of these student offers for $19 but ended up getting shafted so I didn't bother with this deal.

I get why professional software like photoshop CS and AutoCAD can cost a shit tons..but not mainstream software from MS.

Yes. It does cost a lot of money. Everything is time and money that you have to factor in. Marketing, servers, distribution, development hardware, programming manpower, QA/Testing, etc. I work for a software developer so it's definitely feasible. Not to mention they still have to make a profit.

how many PC's can i install this on legally? 2 at the same time?
