    I couldn't find that page when I was looking, everything I googled for Office Pro 10, took me to the latest version, which obviously my product key wouldn't work for.

    The problem with a torrent site, is that you cannot 100% be sure that the file has not been messed with.

    You can run a MD5 / Hash Check of the downloaded file, however you need to know what the original hash was...

    More about checks.. https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090103225500AABCpmD

    I have seen it in versions of Windows, some of the "HOSTS" files have been modified, which enable fishing scams from the outset..

    Assuming that the MOD are still doing it then currently it is Office 2013. However you need a .mod.uk or .mil.uk email address to access the offer.

    Whether being treasurer of that association entitles you to use the Home Use program is a question I cannot answer

    Just to keep this thread alive, I can report that the scheme is alive and well (the links further up still work in other words) - and you do not need to be Army, what you do need is a current mod.uk email address. If you have one of those the Home Use program sends you an email with a link to the main site, pop MS Office 2013 in your basket and it still only charges you £8.95!

    And I finally managed to reactivate my Office Pro 13 programs this morning, working just fine as if nothing was ever missing! Weird,, but good result.

    I didn't even need to enter the product code or any other info, just tried again with the download link from my original purchase in February on the RN defunct scheme. Hooray!

    You don't need to download from a Torrent Site.

    If you have issues with Activation, you can telephone them for the code, you just press a series of numbers and hey presto.

    Here is a genuine link to the download sites --> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-office_install/here-are-the-download-locations-for-office-2010/ac67aa2f-dc1c-46f4-8b1d-ca00b3f02a18

    Do you have the link to the pro version, as that just seems to be the normal version?

    If you click on the link, Office Pro 2010 is listed on the RH Side list. Therefore your product key will determine the version of office you will download.

    Yeah, I seen it, but there is no link to download it.

    I tried the normal version where the link is for, input my product key, but it didn't like it.
    The Office 2010 Product Key provided represents a product which is not eligible for free download.

    My product key is for the pro version.

    Is this scheme live and applicable to windows 8.1 (64 bit)?

    My Dii account does not have IGS, would that be a show stopper?

    Any help is always appreciated and thanks to those that spread the knowledge!
