A couple of my customers (small businesses) run their entire IT just with an action pack sub.
Very good value.

Plus you get other bits and pieces to play with, if your that way inclined

There is no restriction on what you can do with this copy of Office Ultimate 2007 and it is a perpetual license, the only condition is that you must be a student currently studying a course and have a valid .ac e-mail address.
OU students are legible and can perform any business work on it as well if they want to. It is a full copy of office ultimate, not a cut down student and teacher version of office.
Just start up a cheapish OU basic web dev course or something and get your order in (OU also do things like CCNA now I belive, got to be something that would be useful to you)
you must be enrolled in an education institution geographically located in the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man. If a Higher Education student, you must be enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate level course. If a Further Education student, you must have at least 15 hours of scheduled contact time per week for your course.

Completely legal and only £38.95 for Office Ultimate 2007.Originally posted by blacjac View PostMy personal opinion is, if you are going to break the terms of the licence (i.e. by a home / student / NHS edition and use it commercially), then why bother paying anything for it.
What is the point in paying for a licence that does not apply to your circumstances?
Downloading a pirate copy is just as illegal.
Either pay for the licence you want, or don't pay for any licence.

OP did mention this edition but the legality of it would still be dubious. I.e. you could use it to write letters to your Aunty Mable, but would be on very dodgy ground writing a letter to a customer...

ebay - OEM license for ~£100 - I got a couple of Office 2003 licenses that way
student/educational software is not for business use.
I'd avoid Office 2007, otherwise I'd suggest signing up to the Microsoft Action Pack for £199 a year you get all Microsoft's latest software for internal business use.
or is it included in the TechNet subscription ?
if so then take a look at this thread:
