1112967	2010-06-24 08:33:00	I am having 'grief'. Last month I purchased Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (DVD) from Lapshop NZ. They advertised (and still do) 'Purchase any Microsoft Student Select Office Suite today and upgrade to Office Professional Plus 2010 for just $20 when it is released. ' Tonight it won't accept my no, and that particular version of Office 2007 is not listed among the eligible options. :( I am more than a little brassed off at the moment. I emailed Lapshop a couple of days ago, asking how to upgrade the software, and as yet not had a reply...	R.M. (561)

As per the MS site, not every version of Office is eligible OFFICE 2007 QUALIFYING PRODUCT (LICENSES) OFFICE 2010 UPGRADE PRODUCT (LICENSES) Office Home and Student 2007 > Office Home and Student 2010 Office Standard 2007/Office Basic 2007 > Office Home and Business 2010 Office Small Business 2007 > Office Professional 2010 Office Professional 2007>Office Professional 2010 Office Ultimate 2007>Office Professional 2010 Thats quoted from the site I posted earlier ( just a little more tidy as it doesn't copy past to well) , in section 1 where it says a"see terms and conditions"	wainuitech (129)

This promotion is not valid for volume license customers, customers with not-for-resale or promotional product, customers who purchase Office 2007 through the “Home Use Rights” or “Student Select” programs. I think thats the type they are selling. Maybe you should point this out to them.	wainuitech (129)
1112970	2010-06-24 11:26:00	I think your problem is they should not have sold you a enterprise edition of office. That edition is not for public sale but for volume license customers only. Their upgrade paths are different.	McRuff (12291)

1112972	2010-06-24 13:33:00	If you're a student, MS will give you a Academic Professional version for $92.00 but only 1 licence I believe? If I bought Office 2007 today, would I still be eligible for the bump upto 2010?	beeswax34 (63)
1112973	2010-06-24 14:03:00	I think WT posted this previously (office.microsoft.com).	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1112974	2010-06-24 20:41:00	All sorted! :)	R.M. (561)
1112975	2010-06-24 21:05:00	If you're a student, MS will give you a Academic Professional version for $92.00 but only 1 licence I believe? If I bought Office 2007 today, would I still be eligible for the bump upto 2010? Unless it's changed. It's $80 and it's called The Ultimate Steal for 2007, eligible for free download upgradeable to 2010. You have to register using your school's email addy and then download it, thru the shopping cart checkout you will get your serial key, they also email you stuff without/with the key but they ask you to keep them for proof of purchase. If you want pay $10 or $20 more and they send you a CD. Yes 1 license. So for a student you cannot have it on your PC and laptop. You also cannot buy 2 copies. If you need that you are better with the Home Office Edition in the shops which provides 3 licenses.	Nomad (952)
