albeit all online since availability of DVD

applicable for 3 PCs. I have, however, pressed him for arranging an official
DVD for the upgrade ... let's see how this goes. Thanks David !

I hate asking questions but with the invisible caveats one needs to be sure

'traditional disc' and get this upgrade on all my 3 laptops and still be
transferable. Still unsure but looks like the odds are in favor of the 'disc'
option.

I also noticed this under eligibility FAQ from your MS link: "Customers are
limited to one Office 2010 product for each corresponding qualifying Office

isn't clarified in the FAQ section for either of the options: 'Traditional

OK, first, some of these questions - I can direct you to a Microsoft source

Just from the general previous questions submitted her - "I can't find my

Always refer to the License terms for the Microsoft Office you have
installed on your computer - many ask here, but we can only give general
suggestions, and some of it is fairly accurate IF you have described your
purchase accurately -

What you can specifically do - how many copies, reassign rights, upgrade,
conversion etc - are spelled out in YOUR License terms.

License Terms - Office 2007

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...103171033.aspx

Additional tips about License Terms - your specific License Terms provide
the details you need.

Office 2007 is used as an example

In your 2007 version - click on Office Button - Options - Resources - About
- View the Microsoft Software License Terms

Normally the License terms includes sections for Retail License Terms, OEM
License Terms and Media-Less License Terms (In Office 2010 - Product Key
Card - PKC will replace Media-Less or MLK)

Then, under the Installation and Use Rights, it specifically states how you
can assign your license.

For 2007 products, this is also a good resource page for License Terms in
identifying the kind of product you have:

If your designation is FPP, then the Retail License Terms below apply to
you. If your designation is OEM, then the OEM License Terms below apply to
you. If your designation is MLK, then the Media-less License Kit Terms
below apply to you.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...240441033.aspx

Also, another helpful tip (IF it applies in your specific license terms) -
READ your license terms to be sure you HAVE specific reassign useage

Here is a REASSIGN * Example *

REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may reassign the license to a different
device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days. If
you reassign, that other device becomes the "licensed device." If you
retire the licensed device due to hardware failure, you may reassign the
license sooner.

Other important issues are detailed in your License Terms as well - for
example - UPGRADE OR CONVERSION

I own a netbook - Samsung N140 with resolution 1024X600 and has the option
to
be 1024X768. I am using MS Office Home and Student 2007 Trial Version.

Yesterday I bought and successfully installed brand new 3PC Licensed
Office
Home & Student 2007 for my other 2 notebooks - the recent one that is
freely
upgradeable to Office 2010 whenever it's out (Office 2010 free upgrade
being
the main reason to buy it in the first place. See:
http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-u...01825695.aspx).
So I intend to load this balance 1 license version in my netbook.

Queries:

1] MS office website shows that it (Office 2007) is suited for 1024X768 &
above. Well, how is the same working on my netbook cuz I multitask by
surfing
& using word at same time, so am presuming my netbook allows MS Office
2007
to run in 1024X600 mode. I still need to make use of the balance one PC
license activation left for the new Office. Plz clarify and confirm.

2] If 'yes' for above, then can I install the newly bought Office using
that
DVD (I have a separate CD/DVD Drive so no problem there) OR is there a
short
way to feeding in Product Key since the trail version is already there to
make it licensed w/o having to unistall and then install the office. Is
there
a short way or do I simply uninstall and install using the new DVD
itself ¡V
fair n square?

Noted. The date set for release in S.E.Asia is Sept'10 as per reseller ...
funny.. but I am presuming this will be preponed [MS may be conveying a later
date to pre-empt traffic woes ;-) ]. Thanks David - I'll post next when I get
the same on my 3PCs & if you are saying Off2010 is a good thing to have, then
I'll take your "word" for it :-) Cheers !!

I have been using Office PRO 2007 since when I installed Vista Ultimate -
early 2007 - and Office Pro Plus 2010 beta earlier this year (and RTM
version of Office Pro Plus 2010 when released to MSDN subscribers)

I realize many can not afford to easily update to latest, but for those who
can manage - Office 2010 is a leap ahead in productivity and more efficient
use as compared to previous releases.

There are some REAL bargains out there presently when you purchase from
qualified Microsoft resellers - for example.

Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 FULL VERSION (must buy FULL Version,
not upgrade to qualify)

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Offi...couragersof-20

USD $318.48

Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free

Office 2007 is used as an example

In your 2007 version - click on Office Button - Options - Resources - About
- View the Microsoft Software License Terms

Normally the License terms includes sections for Retail License Terms, OEM
License Terms and Media-Less License Terms (In Office 2010 - Product Key
Card - PKC will replace Media-Less or MLK)

Then, under the Installation and Use Rights, it specifically states how you
can assign your license.

For 2007 products, this is also a good resource page for License Terms in
identifying the kind of product you have:

If your designation is FPP, then the Retail License Terms below apply to
you. If your designation is OEM, then the OEM License Terms below apply to
you. If your designation is MLK, then the Media-less License Kit Terms
below apply to you.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...240441033.aspx

Also, another helpful tip (IF it applies in your specific license terms) -
READ your license terms to be sure you HAVE specific reassign useage

Here is a REASSIGN * Example *

REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may reassign the license to a different
device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days. If
you reassign, that other device becomes the "licensed device." If you
retire the licensed device due to hardware failure, you may reassign the
license sooner.

Other important issues are detailed in your License Terms as well - for
example - UPGRADE OR CONVERSION

2] If 'yes' for above, then can I install the newly bought Office using

Default Trial version on netbook to Office 2007 to free upgrade 2010

I have bought a qualifying product from an authorized reseller (from whom I
got myself an email confirming same just to be very sure) and it all looks
good for my Office 2010 Upgrade. Its Office Home and Student 2010 for me.
Cheers, thanks!

I have been using Office PRO 2007 since when I installed Vista Ultimate -
early 2007 - and Office Pro Plus 2010 beta earlier this year (and RTM
version of Office Pro Plus 2010 when released to MSDN subscribers)

I realize many can not afford to easily update to latest, but for those who
can manage - Office 2010 is a leap ahead in productivity and more efficient
use as compared to previous releases.

There are some REAL bargains out there presently when you purchase from
qualified Microsoft resellers - for example.

Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 FULL VERSION (must buy FULL Version,
not upgrade to qualify)

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Offi...couragersof-20

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the Buy Office 2007 now - get Office 2010 Free is a unique kind of
offer to prevent sales from decreasing when a new major version is
released.

I think many who participate in it will be VERY happy with Office 2010 -
it's not just a few feature upgrades here and there in each product,

but a whole new improved set of methodologies and features including
co-authoring, powerpoint broadcast, outlook conversation view, office web
apps, and ways to share information and co-editing across many platforms -
whether it be phone, internet, servers, desktops, etc

David

albeit all online since availability of DVD
from Microsoft isn't clear as yet to this reseller. So online upgrade too is
applicable for 3 PCs. I have, however, pressed him for arranging an official
DVD for the upgrade ... let's see how this goes. Thanks David !

Thanks David. I have bookmarked the link for your blog and it clearly points
out that MS Office Home & Student 2010 with 'traditional disc' is for 3PCs.

My blog ONLY refers to NEW Office 2010 Purchases for these three Office
2010 products:

Office Home and Student 2010, Office Home and Business 2010, Office
Professional 2010

There is ** NO upgrade pricing for Office 2010 ** for retail purchases.

Some will look at pricing only and "mistake" Product Key Card for upgrade
pricing - It IS NOT upgrade pricing - it offers MORE restrictive license
terms.

- AND, it has nothing to with the the SPECIAL Offer - Buy Office 2007 -
Office 2010 Free offer that I referred to.

The answers you seek for the Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free offer - I
cannot answer - If the FAQ provided at that page does not clearly answer
all your questions, you should contact Microsoft directly for your answers.

And before you ask - I have NO contact information to give you - perhaps
others might.

David

Nice !! BUT here's the twist from the link: If anybody selects 'Product Key
Card' - he will get this license for 1PC and that PC (non-transferable) only.
I hate asking questions but with the invisible caveats one needs to be sure
so here goes another one: "Does selecting 'Product Key Card' equal 'Online
Upgrade' ?? .. Is this the same thing ?? if so then I might as well ask for a
'traditional disc' and get this upgrade on all my 3 laptops and still be
transferable. Still unsure but looks like the odds are in favor of the 'disc'
option.

I also noticed this under eligibility FAQ from your MS link: "Customers are
limited to one Office 2010 product for each corresponding qualifying Office
2007 product purchase". Now ONE Office Product = One(-for-3PCs) ?... this
isn't clarified in the FAQ section for either of the options: 'Traditional
Disc Upgrade' NOR 'Downloadable Online Upgrade'. I have a hunch that spending
more for the 'fee' for extra DVD makes sense cuz it 'seems' to be directed
towards 3PCs. Something's aren't very clear from Microsoft and FAQ's need to
address these small points too. Very North Korean-ish ;-) Thanks again. Pl
advise.

(thanks again by the way), on 3 of my laptops, will I get Office2010 upgraded
on all of these

OK, first, some of these questions - I can direct you to a Microsoft source
to better help you - and some, only a qualified Microsoft employee could
answer - we are volunteers here of various background and qualifications...

Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free
http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-u...101825695.aspx

IF you qualify under the terms explained at this reference - "Purchase and
activate a qualifying Office 2007 product between March 5, 2010, and
September 30, 2010, and you can download Office 2010 at no additional
cost."

I can't tell you specifically what you are entitled to - read that main
page carefully and click on other links on that page as well.

? I would like to think so, but then one cant be too sure.
Also is a DVD (for a fee) OPTION better for upgrades like these - hopefully I
can use the DVD to upgrade all the three laptops to Off2010. Lemme know.

Just from the general previous questions submitted her - "I can't find my
previous office disks and product key", etc - it's always helpful to buy a
disc version of anything for most - and keep your product keys with the
discs.

Because of possible confusion that will arise as many decide on a Office
2010 retail purchase - I have created this blog

Microsoft Office 2010 – Full Packaged Product or Product Key Card

Always refer to the License terms for the Microsoft Office you have
installed on your computer - many ask here, but we can only give general
suggestions, and some of it is fairly accurate IF you have described your
purchase accurately -

What you can specifically do - how many copies, reassign rights, upgrade,
conversion etc - are spelled out in YOUR License terms.

Yep I read a couple of reviews of Off2010 and they all seem to like it. So am
glad I got it cheap and for 3PCs. Thanks for the new link as well - MS could
have posted this link earlier, right ?? Hehe ... anyway hope to catch you
soon here. Thanks/Cheers David.


Well, it won't be "here" :-D

This newsgroup will not be available - I believe they are closing it down
as of June 1 2010.

You'll have to locate a Microsoft Forum to post.

Also, if you'd like to continue using your newsgroup client (reader), you
will need to use a NTTP Bridge depending on which forum you use - there are
two available.

* The Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in MSDN,
TechNet, Expression, and General Microsoft forums.

* The Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in Answers
forums only.

I created this blog to help others get started if they choose that route.

I have bought a qualifying product from an authorized reseller (from whom I
got myself an email confirming same just to be very sure) and it all looks
good for my Office 2010 Upgrade. Its Office Home and Student 2010 for me.


And, I'm sure you'll be happy with it - often when I (and others) reply, we
try to directly address a solution for the one first asking, but also reply
in helpful ways for others who view.

BTW, here is the official new web page for:

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010

Cheers, thanks!

Oh ok .. cool. Thanks for the info. Will connect thru' the given link. I do
refer to Paul Thurrott's website as well - this is mentioned in your link. As
far as I see, I don't see any difference as long as there are forums to clear
doubts with a help from experts such as yourself. Thanks again David.
