Office 2003 Standard but "student media" is attached, what is it?

[hon]

I got a CD for Office 2003 standard "Student Media" and I haven't installed
it yet, because I am worried whether this is designed for "students" not for
general Office users, especially for a small business owner like me. I don't
need Professional version, but just Standard version is enough, but I don't
want this CD if it is specifically designed for Students in mind.
Is there anybody who tells me that this "student media" does not mean
anything, or not? Or is there anybody who can tell for sure that this CD is
completely identical to the regular Office 2003 Standard?

The applications are the same, the licensing is different....

Check to see if you are eligible to use that version...

Nothing there about 'student media', but I'll take a stab and say it's
probably clip art and templates for teachers and students. If you've opened
the package, you could also put the CD in the drive and view the contents.

If I were to make a guess, I'd say that you have an academic version.
It's probably the same as the Standard version, but is sold/provided
by a school for its students. Read its EULA to see if you comply with
its licensing requirements.
