Introduction
The Home Use Program provides a simple way for employers to enable employees to
use the Microsoft Office tools at home using their existing licence from school, using
Education Services Microsoft Schools Agreement (MSA) licence..
With the Home Use Program you can purchase Microsoft Office Professional software
at a fraction of the commercial cost. The current cost is £17.31 compared with a
commercial price of around £300 proving an enormous saving to Education Staff.
The reduced cost covers the Media, VAT and shipping only. You are not actually
buying the software just a copy of the media for you to install in your PC.
The Home Use program does not support previous versions of Microsoft Office
therefore you can only purchase Microsoft Office Professional 2007.
You can purchase at this reduced price if :
1. you are a current Education Services staff member AND
2. while Education Services holds a valid MSA licence
Should either of these factors cease to be true then you MUST remove the software
from your system immediately. You are solely responsible for this action.
Please be aware that at any time Education Services decided to no longer
participate in the MSA licensing scheme, no refund will be claimable in any form or
manner.
By proceeding further you are agreeing to these terms and conditions in conjunction
with the additional terms and conditions detailed on the Microsoft Web Site.
It is important to first read the help guide to understand what you initially require
before application.
