Office 2003 Professional Home Edition

[MChrist]

My wife was able to purchase a copy of Office 2003 Professional Home Edition
for $22 through her company. Great deal, but before I go to the hassle of
removing installing this, since I have never heard of the Home Edition other
than for Windows, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a full
package of Office or a stripped down package removing some functionality like
they do with Windows.

I don't see anything regarding a Home Edition on the Office site, so maybe
it's just packaging.

TIA

There is no such thing as Office 2003 Pro Home Edition. 2003 Pro is 2003
Pro. I should know, I use it - I bought mine for £320 from Amazon - and here
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000AZJVC.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg is a picture
of the box. If you could upload a picture of the packaging somewhere, I'd be
interested to see it (do *NOT* post binaries here).

Incidentally, if it's part of a site Open or Volume licensing agreement,
then it is *NOT* legal for your wife to install it on her computer. A site
licence covers the site and is voided if sold to a third party for external
use. If this is what your wife has it may install on her system, but it
won't be legal and (probably) won't update.

Hi Mark,

If your wife's employer is covered under Software Assurance
on a volume license agreement then she may have a Home-Use
license copy under that agreement. An overview of the
'Productivity' license are listed on this page
http://microsoft.com/licensing/programs/sa/productivity/home_use_rights.mspx

My guess is that the company charged for the media (CD)
cost.
