'Registering' Office Student/Teacher Edition 2003
I have just purchased "Microsoft Office Student and
Teacher Edition 2003". This is the UK Edition that I'm using in England. I have successfully managed to install it and its programmes and it is functioning correctly. There's something I'm uncertain about, however. I have been told, by both PC World and John Lewis department store, that by initially installing Office it will remain functionable for aproximately 3 months. I was also told that after these 3 months Office and its programmes will cease to function. I was told that, in order to keep Office and its programmes functionable after this 3 month mark, I would have to register with Microsoft that a "qualified education user" is using the product. I have been researching into this and no websites or helplines etc mention anything like this. I'd be grateful if someone could inform me whether or not it is necessary to register with Microsoft that a "qualified education user" is using the product in order to keep Office functionable after the first 3 months. Many Thanks |

'Registering' Office Student/Teacher Edition 2003
let's clear this.
You must ACTIVATE (which means mandatorially sending the product key to verify that you can use the software) within 50 uses of an Office product (that's what is approx 3 months however, you must be a very rare user for 3 months to be enough). REGISTRATION by the word, refers to a voluntary registration of the product by giving your personal details. note that this is not required for the use of the product.
