MS Office 2016 for Mac OS & PC, Visio Pro & Project Pro - $15 Each Via Microsoft HUP (Requires Eligible Employer)

Same as the previous deal but got an email today that confirmed that Office 2016 is now available on Mac + PC for $15 each. Handy for those that have some Mac users in the house like myself. Previously there was some debate over which version of Mac Office was available.

Like previously, you go to the deal URL and provide your work email to check whether you are eligible. Even if you do not know your "Program Code," you can still proceed. Can confirm I was eligible from previous deal and checkout was a breeze.

EDIT: Just updated title as I realised Visio Pro and Project Pro are also available in the same link.

      Well your work has to be enrolled in the program. Not just any buisness email address can be provided.

  • +6

    don't forget to change your address and the URL to New Zealand and pay with 28degrees card to get it even cheaper.

    edit - seems they have upped it from $10 to $15… oh well, maybe try another country…. Nepal looks good at $9.

  • Damn.. only Visio available for me. :( regardless, thanks for posting OP !

    • Hi Mate,
      If you aren't going to use the Visio License, I can pay you for the license if you happy to do it.

  • +1

    Depending on where you work you might be able to get 2 copies of MS Office. I purchased one copy using my default email address and a 2nd copy using my employee number instead of my name and it worked

  • My company is part of the HUP. This is what I know:

    • I didn't need a program number. I was sent a link that went direct to the page to buy the software.

    Previously, I've tried with my alumni email address…

    • A progran number was required. I could not go beyond that page.
    • Our employees used to be required to enter a program code, but that was recently removed so just their email address is enough.

      As other have mentioned this requires a volume licensing agreement between the employer and MS.

      Last I checked about a year ago we were paying for 22k+ licenses of windows & office, so you'd need to be a decent size client before MS offers you the program.

    Does not work for me.

    No deal.To me this more like an employer benefit. It's not generally available to everyone.

  • +2

    This is awesome. Picked up MS Visio Pro, MS Project Pro and MS Office Pro for $45. One off licences too. None of this annual renewal nonsense. Thanks OP!

  • Worked for me. You can buy both a windows and a mac version. Anyone want to buy my windows one? OR, does anyone know where to buy cheap windows?

    • Ill grab your windows version, please PM me to start the conversation (your settings don't let me PM you). Cheers

    any good souls here to help me with code?? its asking code to buy one.. desperately looking to buy one.

    • Windows version?

      • I want a windows version

  • +3

    It was a good deal that time it worked with hotmail email addresses..

    • It worked with Outlook.be addresses for a while too :)

      • -2

        Any idea how to create one?

    • +4

      I just used a live.com.au email and it worked perfectly with no request for a program code.

      • -1

        Any idea how to create one?

    • that was 2013…..I have one!

      now looking for 2016…..and this offer not for my email! :-(

  • Thanks, Good timing! Just bought a copy.

    Anyone know if I can install this on computer A and then install it again on another computer B if I remove it from the original computer A? Thanks in advance.

    • Yes, you can do this (if it doesn't work just ring Microsoft and they will fix it up). I currently have Office 2013 on HUP and it allows an install on 2 devices at a time, assume that this will be the same.

  • can the program code be shared? My cheap workplace only has 2013 and the license is expired

  • WTF something's wrong.
    Used to work with any hotmail address
    I'll have to make do with my old 2013 version

  • Excellent deal!

    $15 vs $239… I'll take the $15 option thanks :)

    Cheers OP.

  • Sad, require company program code

  • I'm waiting for office 2017.

  • Why would I pay $15 when you can get it for free with your uni e-mail?

  • +1

    I have to agree with everyone who has said 'this is not a deal' because the HUP is based off your company's license agreement (CAUDIT) with Microsoft. So if you were able to get the license purchase for $15, good on you. But that also means you could of asked your own IT department about the HUP and they should be able to advise you more information because the software licensing team would know all the details eg. how many times can you activate the license, what programs are you entitled to etc. This may/may not be available for students as well because most companies just pay for the staff accounts. However, if it's a big University for example then students may be eligible. Again, if students are eligible then they should have been notified the HUP (or another program, whatever they want to call it)is available to them. This is all using work email addresses because the domains are recognised by Microsoft when you try to register. Hence why some ask for the 'program code'.

  • I can log in, but it only seems to give me access to purchase visio & Project… no office. Am I blind/missing something, or is my organisation only set up for part of the HUP program

    • That's what your company has agreed to license via HUP with Microsoft. Perhaps you are using Office365 at work?

  • Stupid company and thier tight arse 2013 office only use.

  • Great deal. I already had the Windows version as well as Mac version using my previous employer and current employer's emails. Probably give my right to my relatives instead.

  • need a code too :(

    • +2

      Pm me if you want help.

  • I don't see how you can proceed without a code. Can anyone help me out? I am after the Mac version. Happy to pay for it if I can get it!

  • any NSW Teachers out there has any luck purchasing all three softwares?

  • Desperate for a Windows key… Who wants to help a poor soul out?

    (damm private industry not qualifying)

  • This is weird, I swear I had Office available as a product yesterday and then today it's switched to Project…

  • +4

    Anyone who needs help let me know, PM me directly.

    • unable to send you PM, can you pl PM me? I am after a Mac copy… thanks

      • Sorry, messaged you.

      To anyone looking for a program code.
      It doesn't work like that.
      I can only give you a purchase link using my many emails that are currently registered in the program.
      Yes, I will be able to see your license codes.. but I don't need them, I already have 4 spares for myself.

      • Hi, would you be able to message me? Cheers

  • Can anyone help me with MS Office for Mac? It would be greatly appreciated. PM me!

    Hi,

    I am long time reader/viewer on this site but just joined.

    Could someone please get me one of each?
    1. MS Office 2016 for PC;
    2. MS Project
    3. Visio
    Kind regards,
    Sunny Singh

    A HUGE thank you to "cwongtech" after the effort that he went to in helping me get this deal. Really happy, there are some really helpful people out there.

    • +1

      No worries. Make sure you save your keys somewhere safe (and the installer files)
      Enjoy :)

      • +2

        I already got them from someone I know working in a registered organisation, but just thought I commend you for being selfless in sharing. Wish more can be like you, keep it up buddy

  • If you stop working for the employer, will the software somehow stop working? (Does Office check against some server every now and then?)

    • never mind, I see you're supposed to stop when you end your employment (6mo left on my contract).

      • +2

        Keyword is "supposed" - Microsoft will never check (I'm not even sure that they could).

        • So when you fire up Word it doesn't say connect to its server to see if your license key is still OK? (Office 365 does something like this, doesn't it?)

        • +1

          @mathematicalcoffee: I suppose it does, but I don't think the license would ever be cancelled. Microsoft doesn't have anything to connect that license key to your employment contract…
          It's an outright purchase rather than a subscription like Office 365 is, so it also doesn't matter if you employer stops being a part of HUP at a later date.
          I bought a copy when my employer was part of the program. It is no longer a part of the program, so I can't buy more, but that hasn't stopped my ability to use the Office versions that I previously purchased.

        • @NigelTufnel: If i purchase it now but only plan to install it on later date (maybe next year). Any chance that the key stopped working / unable to install / activate ?

        • @phunkydude:
          The key will not be deactivated.
          However I highly recommend you save the link to the installer at least, or even just the installer will be fine, in case they decide to change the server to host the installer file (it's literally a small 1MB file, when you finally install it will download 700mb - 1gb, not sure.)

    I'd like to shout out a huge THANK YOU to "cwongtech" as well. Really appreciate the tremendous effort he put in for me to get this deal. Much appreciated!

    Thank you to cwongtech for helping me get a copy. LEGEND!

    To the people who need help for MicrosoftHUP Office Pro Plus 2016 (Windows Or Mac) Not Visio/Project Pro
    I am no longer generating links, linked to my account, due to privacy concerns and accusations of me sharing the keys that my fellow OzBargain members have purchased (only one person has accused me).
    It doesn't help that the Microsoft team apparently said the key I sent them was used multiple times (It was an unused key! I activated it on my unused old computer just fine after the accusation in fear that this person used it up, and according to microsofthup FAQ you can only activate once for 2016 products.)
    This has caused extreme stress and frustration, wanting to help others which has turned into accusations and a paypal dispute.
    As a result, I will release the instructions of how to obtain your very own MicrosoftHUP purchase link provided you message me.
    Please MESSAGE me for the instructions, you will need to do it yourself now.
    The reason why I didn't make the instructions before is because I couldn't be bothered and it was a lot easier for me to just generate the links and forward.

    • +1

      Thanks for your help mate. The instructions are easily followed and work a treat!

    • Hello, cwongtech, may I have the instruction as well. Messaged you early this morning. Big Thank YOU !

    • The loophole I discovered no longer works. Sorry for anyone reading this post 4 months later and messaging me.

  • Cwongtech : Thank you very much, you are a LEGEND. I highly appreciate your kind help.

  • Hi cwongtech
    Can you message me the instructions?
    Thanks

    • +1

      Done.

      • PM sent requesting instructions. Cheers!

  • Out of curiousity, is there ever an expiry on this type of deal? Or is it always available?

  • pm sent reg instructions - Thanks

  • Does anyone know where we can download the actual install file rather than using the Windows installer?

  • Thanks Heaps worked :)

  • Would love a offline installer to do a custom install…

  • Another shoutout to Cwongtech, finally had time to work his instructions and it did not let me down.

  • Hi,
    My work only allows MS Office, I wonder if anyone knows which organisation/company has option for MS Visio and Project?
    I can ask one of my mates if they work for those companies or better still if my OzBargain is willing to lend a hand.

  • Kudos cute puppydog cwongtech! love your work… muchas gracias mi amigo ;)

  • Hi cwongtech, follow your easy understand instruction, I managed to get a copy of Office 2016. Thank you very much, I highly appreciate your kind help.

  • If anyone has the option and doesn't need it, I would like project. Please PM if you are willing to pass it on. Cheers

  • cwongtech… what a legend :)
