Microsoft Office 2010 Discount for UK Armed Forces

RNTM 99/13 has been cancelled and doesn't seem to have been replaced.

Anyone know how to go about and get this?

This scheme has been discontinued.

It ended in May 2013

Not for the Navy, it was only withdrawn about 3-4 weeks ago.

There was an RNTM issued in Dec last year (see post 21), but that has now been withdrawn.

Army seem to have resurrected this scheme:

It's behind a login, so to gist - Office 2013 Pro Plus for £8.95, also Project, Visio at similar prices, and training opportunities. Item is dated 25 Apr 14.

Nice to see a Whole Force concept in operation

I paid my £8.95 from the Navy version in February, and Outlook stopped working at the weekend. I tried the online repair, which then asked me to re-register the whole of Office. As the Navy scheme is now not operating, I can't re-activate my copy of Office after just four months.

Warning to others - don't try and repair anything, or install optional updates (which is what seems to have stopped Outlook working), though automatic updates seem OK...

I'll see if I can re-buy from the Army scheme, but need my work email to do that. I'll try and update next week as I'm at offsite meetings until then.

System

On the activate screen just use the telephone route to re-register it. You should be able to do that without a problem as you do not even need to explain which company it was through. Just tell them it is through the home use scheme and you had to re-install it

I managed to find a copy of Office Pro 10 on a torrent site, downloaded that, then used my existing activation key and it works fine now.

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
