    my tablet PC does not have an disc drive (hence the download)

    Copy CD/DVD to a USB flash drive, and install from that.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    No you don't - read the Ts & Cs - I just got a copy from there, I gave up being a student 45 years ago :D:D

    It doesn't make it legal to use the software if this company doesn't check. If the EULA says you or a family member needs to be a student, then this is what counts. Practically there is no difference between using a cracked version and using a student version, if you (or a family member) are not a student. So why bother paying for it?
    Hi Tony, ideally I would like the full package, my tablet PC does not have an disc drive (hence the download).

    Copy the content of the CD to a USB stick.

    You can now of course download the software from MS servers upon entering a valid product key.....

    I purchased ms office from software4students as a grandparent, discs arrived within 5 days, excellent. This package also gives you outlook and access which you don't get from other companies. An excerpt below from their site

    Who can buy software at Software4Students?

    Primary and Secondary students: All currently registered students of primary and second level schools in the UK

    University and college students: All currently registered students of universities and colleges in the UK

    Parents, grandparents and guardians: If you are a parent or guardian or have a grandson or granddaughter for whom you would like to license the software, then you can purchase the software. The main requirement to purchase is that the end user licensee must be a student or be a faculty member in one of our listed educational institutions.

    Hope this helps
  • Hi, I also had a great experience with Software4Students, ordered full Office 2010 package for my 14 year old son, just had to find his school in the dropdown box. He had tried the Open Office stuff but lacked the features he needed, esp publishing/graphics. Super-efficient delivery, £40 well spent.
