Trial version on netbook to Office 2007 to free upgrade 2010
in [Microsoft Office]
|
From: Prithvi on 18 May 2010 14:22 Thanks David. I read the License terms - mine fall under FPP , so RETAIL it is. I also read the two speific points on REASSIGN TO OTHER DEVICE & UPGRADE & CONVERSION which brings me to ask another question: Since mine is a ONE COPY 3PC Off2007 License, now already activated, based on DL's suggestions (thanks again by the way), on 3 of my laptops, will I get Office2010 upgraded on all of these ? I would like to think so, but then one cant be too sure. Also is a DVD (for a fee) OPTION better for upgrades like these - hopefully I can use the DVD to upgrade all the three laptops to Off2010. Lemme know. Thanks !

Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-FX101825695.aspx IF you qualify under the terms explained at this reference - "Purchase and activate a qualifying Office 2007 product between March 5, 2010, and September 30, 2010, and you can download Office 2010 at no additional cost." I can't tell you specifically what you are entitled to - read that main page carefully and click on other links on that page as well. >? I would like to think so, but then one cant be too sure. > Also is a DVD (for a fee) OPTION better for upgrades like these - hopefully I > can use the DVD to upgrade all the three laptops to Off2010. Lemme know. Just from the general previous questions submitted her - "I can't find my previous office disks and product key", etc - it's always helpful to buy a disc version of anything for most - and keep your product keys with the discs. Because of possible confusion that will arise as many decide on a Office 2010 retail purchase - I have created this blog Microsoft Office 2010 �V Full Packaged Product or Product Key Card http://profileexchanges.com/blog/?p=376 David > Thanks ! > > "David Troxell - Encourager Software" wrote: > >> On Sun, 16 May 2010 06:48:01 -0700, Prithvi wrote: >> >>> I had the impression the 3 specific PC's on which the first installs are done >>> too get locked in and one can't re-install it on a fourth PC.

From: Prithvi on 19 May 2010 01:09 Thanks David. I have bookmarked the link for your blog and it clearly points out that MS Office Home & Student 2010 with 'traditional disc' is for 3PCs. Nice !! BUT here's the twist from the link: If anybody selects 'Product Key Card' - he will get this license for 1PC and that PC (non-transferable) only. I hate asking questions but with the invisible caveats one needs to be sure so here goes another one: "Does selecting 'Product Key Card' equal 'Online Upgrade' ?? .. Is this the same thing ?? if so then I might as well ask for a 'traditional disc' and get this upgrade on all my 3 laptops and still be transferable. Still unsure but looks like the odds are in favor of the 'disc' option. I also noticed this under eligibility FAQ from your MS link: "Customers are limited to one Office 2010 product for each corresponding qualifying Office 2007 product purchase". Now ONE Office Product = One(-for-3PCs) ?... this isn't clarified in the FAQ section for either of the options: 'Traditional Disc Upgrade' NOR 'Downloadable Online Upgrade'. I have a hunch that spending more for the 'fee' for extra DVD makes sense cuz it 'seems' to be directed towards 3PCs. Something's aren't very clear from Microsoft and FAQ's need to address these small points too. Very North Korean-ish ;-) Thanks again. Pl advise.

I have bookmarked the link for your blog and it clearly points > out that MS Office Home & Student 2010 with 'traditional disc' is for 3PCs. My blog ONLY refers to NEW Office 2010 Purchases for these three Office 2010 products: Office Home and Student 2010, Office Home and Business 2010, Office Professional 2010 There is ** NO upgrade pricing for Office 2010 ** for retail purchases. Some will look at pricing only and "mistake" Product Key Card for upgrade pricing - It IS NOT upgrade pricing - it offers MORE restrictive license terms. - AND, it has nothing to with the the SPECIAL Offer - Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free offer that I referred to. The answers you seek for the Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free offer - I cannot answer - If the FAQ provided at that page does not clearly answer all your questions, you should contact Microsoft directly for your answers.

From: Prithvi on 19 May 2010 04:08 I got that point from your blog - I knew this wasn't 'upgrade pricing'. I just made my own assumption that same would be true for an upgrade (esp. DVD) and I got a reply from the authorized reseller today affirming that the upgrade will indeed be for 3PCs, albeit all online since availability of DVD from Microsoft isn't clear as yet to this reseller. So online upgrade too is applicable for 3 PCs. I have, however, pressed him for arranging an official DVD for the upgrade ... let's see how this goes. Thanks David !
