    Damn I bought this a bit over a week ago!

    • dreamscene on 05/10/2015 - 09:02

      Not to be a bit dim witted, what is HUP and what does an employer have to do for me to get it? I do not work in the IT department. We all use MS Windows 7 and Office 2010.

      • bchliu on 05/10/2015 - 09:05

        It your company has an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft and they opt into this program, then they can allow their staff to purchase MS Office at a much reduced price of $15 instead of whatever the RRP is. You get to put it onto two PC's at home. Not all companies are on the Enterprise Agreement (its stupidly expensive even on a corporate level), so you will need to ask to see if you are entitled.

        Legal too - the only real caveat is that the Office License "expires" after the termination of employment - meaning that you shouldnt legally use it (I dont think anyone follows this though).

      • PVA on 05/10/2015 - 09:54

        Hup is home use program.
        Can buy the enterprise version of office cheap and use it while still employed.
        This has been around for ever 2007, 2010. 2013 and 2016. Whatever is the current version so no new news really.

      • dreamscene on 05/10/2015 - 10:05

        Hi, to get the 2 licenses of 2013 and 2 for 2016, do we buy 2 now and 2 after the 7th of October?

        • Jamesx on 05/10/2015 - 16:49

          Yes, buy 2 now, and 2 after 7th.

          I confirm it works. I still have 2010 and 2013.

        • matabuntu on 05/10/2015 - 18:13

          @mishmish:
          It may works but probably not legal because ms hup only allows 1 license/person (can install max in two PCs).

          If you have a previous version of Microsoft Office 2010 from HUP, you are legally obligated to uninstall that version before installing Office 2013 from HUP as using only 1 licence is allowed. If you have acquired Office 2010 through another source, you are not required to uninstall Office 2010 in order to install Office 2013 products from HUP. Please note: Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 will overwrite previous versions when the 2013 version is installed.

          @Son ofa Zombie:
          I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You missed the point
          I only have one work email. so to get 4 copies on 4 PCs, I need both 2013 & 2016. I dont need 8 in total!

          BTW, we're asking a question, not asking for your comments without any answer, not helping.

        • marcozmitch on 18/10/2015 - 07:40

          @Jamesx: I don't know if this only applied to the 2010 version, but I seemed to install MS OFF pro. stud. multiple times over a number of laptops, ( installed on some, when one died etc.,) without issue. Of course this may have all changed with this version. I can update when the DVD arrives.

    "Even if you do not know your "Program Code," you can still proceed." Perhaps not, because I'm getting "Please verify that you have entered your work email address correctly. We are unable to confirm your eligibility without a program code."

    This is available via HUP, if your employer does not participate in it, you won't get it for $15.

    $15 if Your Employer Takes Part

    You mean if your employer pays up?

    • garage sale on 05/10/2015 - 07:36
      +3

      employers usually take it up as part of an enterprise agreement, and then it costs them next to nothing. the word enterprise should give you an idea of the size of the companies that usually have hup as part of their agreement.

      hup is good for employers because people become familiar, with the new product at home due to motivation rather not " I don't know how to use this send me to a course "

      I recall even the dimmest of excel users becoming macro gurus when they wanted to work out their redundancy package, or returns on negative gearing and rising house prices , etc, prior to that they wouldn't try macros unless sent to a course.

      my employer went with office365, which isn't as good as office 2016 hup home use, expires after you leave employer.

  • jv on 05/10/2015 - 07:35

    The employer pays for this through their Microsoft license

    • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2015 - 09:22
      +3

      They pay the same regardless if their employees take up the offer or not, and the amount that they part is pretty expensive so yes, it would cover the cost of the offer.

      • jv on 05/10/2015 - 09:32
        -5

        The $15 deal has been available for years and it's included in the cost to the employer. Their cost varies depending on how many licenses they subscribe to.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2015 - 09:39
          +4

          Well it's not the case that the Employer gets a special deal for $200 (for example), and then the employee pays $15 and the employer pays $185 towards it. No, the employer pays say $384 (for example) for each of their copies, and the $15 offer to employees is a bonus that does not affect their main agreement or cause any extra money to be paid by the employer to Microsoft.

        • bchliu on 08/10/2015 - 14:42

          @The Land of Smeg: If you ever saw the numbers behind a Microsoft Enterprise agreement (very expensive per annum basis), lets just say Microsoft can afford to give these away to their staff for free. Basically similar to software subscription like MSDN (but for official use) so a license to each user is a drop in the ocean realistically.

    "Taking part" is not really an accurate description, you could replace it with "paying an exorbitant amount of money for an Enterprise License Agreement"

          It's a "company perk" available to such a large number of companies (most big companies would have an EA with Microsoft that covers this) so in this case the "company perk" is not too narrow scope, a lot of people would be eligible.

          @The Land of Smeg:
          Hup is always the latest version, when 2016 is released that will be the version you get, they don't give you an old version.

        • odysseus on 05/10/2015 - 12:18
          +1

          Incorrect. If you go to Harvey Norman, even if you qualify, you still won't get the bargain.

          You have to know to go through this specific channel, with this specific process, to get the offer. Do it any other way and you will pay a different price.

          Hence, it's highlighting the bargain so people can get it.

          And as before with the comments on getting it with internode and other site e-mails, it doesn't mean "it's your employer's fault" as you claimed if you don't get the bargain.

        • itsMartin on 05/10/2015 - 12:22

      Reply to mattlol> Alot of the services like Dropbox, Google, Microsoft storage are end user products and as such do not "give" you local CDN coverage, so when you upload, you're uploading to a US-website, which means it's slooow. Switch to Amazon CDN storage (more designed for developers), as they have a sydney hub, you upload at super fast speeds (I have NBN and it doesn't take long to upload a gigabyte)

        When I download from or upload to OneDrive I get full speeds on a 100/40 connection. Single threaded downloads will often come close to, if not reach, my pipe's capacity.
