MS Office Professional 2003 EV?

[Rodders]

Hi,

I have a query about the licensing for this product.

Dabs is selling it here
http://www.dabs.com/UK/productview?quicklinx=2RYX

Can anyone tell me what the license for this is?

 

[DL]

Educational Version
see MS for detailed Licence description

I'm assuming "EV" stands for "Extreme Value".
And since I don't live in the UK, I also had to look up "VAT" which stands for "Value Added Tax". I'm assuming
that's what they call "sales tax" in the UK.

I found that information on http://www.acronymfinder.com/


My conclusion:
This version of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 is probably just at the Academic Price. It
generally just means that you CANNOT use it in a commercial environment (i.e. business).

I know this because I got Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 at the Academic Price ($140 USD). This
boxed version of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 has a big red star on it which reads "Academic
Price" and in smaller text "Not for use in a commercial environment" just below.


It is very much so possible that the image they have displayed is just a general image. This means that the
box may look different than the one you receive. I'd recommend that you contact the company about this listing
and ask them if the item they ship is (looks) different than the image shown on their website.


This looks like the form you'd need to fill out:

Select "I'm looking for further product information?" next to "Subject".

And don't forget to mention what product you want information on by entering
http://www.dabs.com/UK/productview?quicklinx=2RYX
in the text box.

I am not convinced (not that I do not trust you guys judgements) as they also
are selling a version called

Office 2003 Standard Edition - STUDENT or TEACHER [non commercial use
http://www.dabs.com/uk/Search2/Prod...nx=2PWN&searchphrase=microsoft office teacher

Any ideas?

Ok, but if you click on the Spec and features tab on the page it says
Academic. So you will need to take it up with the seller!

I am not convinced (not that I do not trust you guys judgements) as they also
are selling a version called

Actually it's called Office 3003 Student and Teacher which is different from
the academic editions. You can get several different editions at special
pricing. this REQUIRES proof of qualifications. I know this for a fact
because I had to fax in proof for the copies I sold to students.

Slight correction, Jo, it requires proof of registration at a recognised
educational establishment - you don't have to provide evidence of academic
qualifications (if that's what you meant - sorry my brain isn't working this
afternoon).

It is what I meant. I had to fax over a letter of acceptance, school ID -
something that proved you were a student or faculty member.

(We're cool - I've had days when my brain wasn't working because of other
things going on in my life.)
