I'm not 100%, but with the Student & Teacher version of Office, you just had to be a student or teacher at a school, college or university. You didn't have to 'prove' this (although I think Microsoft could ask for proof), and it was mostly done on the honour system. If you leave school, you're supposed to uninstall it, as the license is no longer valid.0

This is no longer the case with Office 2007, the old Student/Teacher edition has been replaced by Home and Student.
As far as licenses go, it is valid for use on any PC as long as it is not for commercial use.This is not a signature...0 -
