You can use it on your home PC if you, or one of your household, is a student.

See if the box gives an idea of the original suppliers, and check their website.

For Software4Students, have a look at "Am I eligible"

It means exactly what it says on the sticker - it is intented for a user for academic and educational purposes. As long as there is *one* such user in your household, you are fine.

Will it work? Yes. Are you complying with the terms of the licence? Not necessarily. Chances of anything happening are next to nil though.

I have a business selling computers. I get undercut by people who shove pirate software on and sell academic versions to people who don't qualify which harms my business, takes money out of my pocket and food out of the mouths of my kids so forgive me if I get a little annoyed by it.

However I don't go after the end user, I just file another report to Microsoft.

But as you said previously, chances of anything happening is near to zero.

So, people should take money out of their pockets and food out of the mouths of their kids to pay for something which has a totally overinflated price. Sometimes people just have to stand up to being totally ripped off!!

I, personally, would just use one of the free versions of office out there. They're just as good and compatable with microsoft.

Why is a BMW more expensive than a Ford Mondeo? Its certainly not built any better.

Nobody is forcing you to buy it and.....
