    Hi All

    If you are not a legitimate employee of the domain you are using to access and sign up to the home use program then this is against the terms of the purchase.

    The Home Use Program is a benefit available to the organisation which has a Microsoft agreement that includes Office with Software Assurance for business use. The benefit allows the employee to have Office to use at home for the cost of the media.

    If you do not work for the company who's domain you are using then I would suggest saving your cash going to your favourite torrent site.

    • +4

      Has a point… TorrentzRus here I come!

      • Just make sure your anti-virus software is up to date.

    • Man, you should post that as a deal/freebie. Look at the votes this got and it costs 10 bucks!

    • +2

      True, but its hard to fine a good copy of the 2011 Mac version on torrent and this way you receive updates.

    • Twitch has a valid point. In the true spirit of the Ozbargain community, people are negging without providing a valid counter-reason. Although I haven't read the entire EULA, I believe that a breach of the Agreement, such as that mentioned, would entitle MS to revoke the licence and key issued despite any amount you paid for it.

      They have a known record of doing this for misuses of MSDN

    Works :

    @team.telstra.com

  • @victorchang.edu.au works!!!

  • @polytechnicwest.wa.edu.au failed :(

  • @vic.gov.au worked

  • Thankyou very much email trick with myspace works a charm!

    • did you receive an email from Microsoft?

      • Yes with a "buy now" link. Follow that and you don't need to enter any program codes.

    Another example of the "Austalia tax" at work. Australian price = A$15 US price = US$9.95

    • -7

      That's because we have Carbon tax and GST.

      • +3

        US$9.95 @ current conversion rate (being generous US$1.03 = A$1.00 - actually nearer US$1.05 atm)
        -> US$9.95 = A$9.66 + GST = A$10.62 << A$15

        And please don't be silly about the carbon tax!

        • Carbon tax still stupid anyway, tax the air to save the earth really ? we only have ~21millions ppl compare to ~7billions …. hmmm i wonder how the math works.
          EDIT: Those "tree huggers" still driving their cars, living in a "fancy" house using gas/electricity, if they really believe in "global warming" go live like Amish people.

  • Doesn't work for @student.swin.edu.au

  • @act.gov.au didn't work :(

    • For anyone who works for ACT gov, you can get a product code from the ICT portal on the intranet. Anyone who does work for ACT GOVT can PM me for more info if needed. And yes, you still require a @act.gov.au address

    doesn't work for health.qld.gov.au
    the organisation is probably paying for the MS Software Assurance Program but we probably can't access it because some lazy pos hasn't bothered with the paperwork (online form) to set up the HUP.

    THanks OP.
    Now, do we need to wait for Office 2013 that might be due next month for free upgrade program?
    or whether or not free upgrade is NOT eligible for this?

    If free upgrade is eligible basically we will have TWO licences, one licence for 2010 and one licence for 2013.

    what do you think?

    link: http://techreport.com/news/23558/office-2013-upgrade-offer-c…

    • on another forum, a member was saying that they bought the 2007 edition from this website 2 weeks before 2010 edition was released and got a free upgrade to 2010 edition.
      not sure if it applies to this too

    • Yes, I'm wondering the same thing. I'm currently using the 2013 preview which actually provides all of outlook functionality for free, so I'm not even sure I should bother buying this, even for 15 dollars. How long does this deal last?

    • People really don't understand this deal at all. If you use a myspace account and do not work for myspace you are not eligible for this deal it is part of the terms and conditions.If your work email does work then you are.

      Businesses who have volume licensing and have signed up for the home use program are eligible. See microsoft makes money from the business paying for office for the employee using volume licensing and the hup program. Part of that deal allows the employees to buy a cheap version of office for home. So the money Microsoft makes off this deal is really from the companies volume licensing and not the home use program. So since everyone signing up using a myspace account obviously the company hasn't paid a volume license for the users and so they aren't eligible.

      When Microsoft realizes what people are doing to myspace you can bet they will be revoking access. So eligible for a free upgrade? Everyone who is signing up using myspace isn't even eligible for this offer.

    If you don't work for MySpace buying this is fallout illegal and against the terms. Even better they have your payment details to chase you up.

    Ask your employer if you have a HUP. Most big companies do.

    • My Employer has HUP which I bought a while ago and am using on my PC, but I would now like to install on my laptop as well. Does anyone know if it's ok to use the same code twice and have both machines connected to the internet at the same time with the same code?

      • You can have 1 PC and 1 laptop but you cannot use at the same time.

        • Well not unless you can type with your feet

    • -5

      So I get negative votes for pointing out that people are breaching copyright law using this from myspace emails unless they work for the company. That is not a bargain but piracy.

      If your company has a HUP program that's fine.

  • works:

    @pta.wa.gov.au

  • @student.monash.edu doesn't work

    @csiro.au works!

  • education.tas.gov.au is mean to work and I know it has for some people but for me it's not which is a bit odd.

  • so how does this work exactly ? Once I've installed and registered with the license key, will I have access to updates till a newer version comes out ? Are there any restrictions on this install ? Thanks !

    • -1

      If you signed up using a Myspace account you are breaching the terms and conditions. So updates will work until Microsoft revokes that key.

      If your work email address worked then it is ok.

  • @monash.edu.au doesn't work :/

  • My company e-mail worked. :) Cheers.

    @myspace email only accept internal (other @myspace.com). So it does not accept external mail. I wonder how these guys can get it work? R u guys working for myspace, try to get people signon or something???

  • Still getting all emails to myspace bouncing. Have done all tips suggested. sadface

  • I used this a while ago. I got the info from our IT department. You really should talk to yours. I work for TAFE SA.

  • You use to be able to pay an extra for a physical copy posted to you. i did about a year or so ago

  • 15.00

  • No good with the Myspace on yet :(

    my .qld.gov.au does not work either…

  • To clarify Op's 3rd point

    Account Settings & Privacy > Account and click on the icon next to www.myspace.com/xxxxx

    Pick a username and wait 24 hrs. I did that last night and the email was working today.

    • Cheers,

      I still have a Myspace account from 2005 :-P I figured it would work?? I have an email option.

      • If you can receive emails using your myspace account, then yes.

  • @student.swin.edu.au does NOT work. :/

    Trying this myspace shit but their settings are a f#cking maze xD
    I've set up a myspace account and I know people are saying it takes a while for the email to become active but I'm not even sure if I set it up right, I never got one of those confirmation emails about it :/

  • -1

    Anyone with knowledge on hacking existing myspace accounts, now's the time to share! xD

  • still using mine from when I was working at Fujitsu

  • I got it working with an old myspace account. Didn't have to tweak any settings at all. But had to get microsoft to resend the confirmation email as I didn't receive the email first time around.

    @myspace.com working for me

    sent a message [email protected] from myspace email in order for it to work

    Give it 24hrs to start receiving email from the day you start using it

    • Myspace worked without any problems - just took 24+hrs to accept any email.
      And you can select countries other than USA - eg NZ$10 ($7.88) was a better price.

      Thanks OP - my ancient copy of Office had given up after a few hardware changes, and it was umm… not an official MS copy. So just what I needed at a really good price.

    • Myspace won't let me send an email to [email protected] from my myspace account I get "You must add at least one person to the To line to send a message." even though the above address is in the "To" line, I could send a message to my yahoo address but when I try send one from yahoo to myspace it gets bounced back with this error "Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]> recipient rejected [RCPT_TO].

      The myspace account is an old one and I have the email setting in myspace set to open but it doesn't want to work.

      Anyone have any ideas?

      • I didn't bother sending an email to [email protected] from my myspace account - received the MS offer anyway, so I wouldn't bother. Check the 'Junk' folder.

        • Yeah there's nothing in the junk folder either, I can't even send myself an email to the myspace address it keeps getting bounced back, all the settings look ok so I have no idea why it's not working.
          I was trying to get it for my sister for her son for school as they keep pressuring them to get office even though they have programs that do the same thing, being a single parent it's difficult for her to afford all the crap they are supposed to have now days.
          Oh well they will just have to make do with what they are using for now.

          The sign up site is accepting my myspace email I'm just not receiving anything.

        • lol I have just got the email in my myspace account today, it took a while but I finally got it, now hope my order goes through ok.

  • worked with @myspace email :)
    Can I buy project and office at the same time?

    • +1

      Yes, that's what I did. You have to click the link that says "continue shopping."

  • Thank you Easternculture.

    I used the my old myspace email. I too had problems receiving email to this address. I could only send out emails. However, EXACTLY 24 hours after sending out my first email from my myspace account, I would receive emails too. Incidentally, I'm curious to how all these people purchased it in Indian Rupees or NZ Dollars. I tried this but if you say that you are in NZ or India, the purchase page will automatically fill in the country and that couldn't be changed. How would you have your credit card billed correctly if you have given your details as "India?"

  • How does the license work? If I format my hard drive will I lose Office 2010?

    • can i use it on more than one comp ?

    • Just keep a copy of the install file and installation key elsewhere.

    Am I the only one who spent about 20 minutes looking through an old 2006-2007 MySpace account that I hadn't touched in years to get this deal?

    • lmao me too

  • over 24 hours since i used first tried using my old myspace and still getting all emails bouncing back. bawww

    • same here

    I got past the payment screen yesterday and got this, havent heard from them since:

    Thank you!
    Take a moment to print this page for your files.

    We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.
    The following problem(s) exist:

    •We are reviewing your purchase at this time.
    You will receive a confirmation email with your Product Key as well as download instructions when our review has been completed. Please allow 4 to 6 hours for our review to be completed before inquiring about the status of your order. We recommend that you write down or print your Order Number for future reference.

    Anyone else experience this? I have yet to be charged.

    • Is this with a myspace account? :(

    • uh ohhh

      • No it was with my @gm.com email. My computer at work can route through the US, so I did and selected NZ then paid with 28 degrees…

        I have an order number but as of they have yet to send me any correspondence… have I been thwarted???

    • Got the same message, used myspace mail and address India….

  • Does anyone know if this a limited time promotion or this is available at other times?

    • Been out for a long time - but it didn't have "Don't know your program code?" functionality previously.

  • Can I use it in more than one computer.I selected Newzealand but they want my NZ address, Should i put a fake address? or Should I select Australia and pay like $7 more? At the end of the day I will be using my own credit card so probably giving false Nz address is not an option??

    • I gave my Australian address with my state & Australia in the Provence box as could not change country from NZ. My purchase details included "BrucefromAustralia" - a bit of a give away anyway!
      Purchase went through immediately on my 28Degrees MasterCard.

  • Sweet ! Worked with my old myspace account. I tried a lot yesterday but it didn't work. But when I tried with both NZ and India as a country. It sent me an e-mail straight away. Downloaded the copy and now installing.

    Cheers.

  • tried myspace with US and it didn't work. Will give NZ/India a go

    • I had waited for 30 hours, then I can use mail in myspace. you just wait for a long time.

      • I waited for more than 40 hours to become myspace email address active and I received only one email that contained buy now link to MSHUP website. That was enough to make the purchase. I used India as a country. Weird thing is I was not able to receive the second email that contained the product key and download link, however it was sent to my personal email address as a copy of the same email. I am very happy with the purchase. Great job done by the Original Poster.

        Cost is INR 450.00 which is nearly AUD$8.00

        • hmm, it's been over 3 days since I started trying, and still no luck as of yet. I'll give it one more go today.

          Edit** After trying Australia, NZ, US and India again, India and NZ have responded. woot!

  • Can you install 32Bit office on 64Bit Windows 7/8?

    • yes, you can.

      • Great news, thanks mate.

  • eventually worked for me! Had to use UK, but then when I went back and said Australia it ended up finally sending me an Australian one too.

  • Three days later, myspace FINALLY wants to start receiving mail. Link received and in progress :)
