This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

Grab your copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 or Mac office 2011 for $8 - $15 depending on what country you choose($8 for NZ, $10 for USA and $15 for Australia.
This pricing is only for eligible email accounts with company/education emails.

Also works with hotmail accounts but will cost you $30, because you will have to buy both the DVD backup copy and then add the license (as per ozbargainers comments, plz read thread page 4 and after).
From teh comments, MS charges $15 for the Licence first and possibly charges the $15 for the DVD later after its shipped. It is possible then to contact Microsoft and cancel the DVD to save $15 as per here.
Also note that when using a hotmail email, you can only purchase MS Office for Windows. Not sure why they dont allow to buy MS Office Mac when using hotmail

To Use with Hotmail:

Use any @hotmail.com address and then Program code 05383F4FAC.
But you better be quick before they fix the hotmail bug
Please all thank methos for the tip

If anyone is interested in the pricing of Office 2013, i got it from here

So, how about the rest of the Office SKU's? For starters, the traditional Office Standard will cost $369, while Office Professional Plus 2013 is priced at $499. Undergrads and doctoral students may want to check out Office Home & Student 2013 for $139.99. Meanwhile, Home and Business is priced at $219.99, and Office Professional 2013 runs $399.99.

Similiar to the deal i posted here that was for the 2010 edition

  Well surely we cant be blamed for their error here. If there were to deactivate, surely they'd be obliged to send everyone refunds anyway.

    Technically, no. M$ emp can use hotmail as their official email, and the code provided is for M$.
    So, as long as you are NOT a M$ emp, you do not comply with the MS HUP requirement.

My order went through. Office13 installed. Do i need to activate it as I have not put the product key anywhere?

  I think there's a key embedded in the link and it self registers. My copy was registered on the install.
  - ddhytz on 19/01/2013 - 09:48
    
    Alright.
    Then where is the actual downloaded software file? I had a quite large file downloaded when I bought Office 2007.

      Ahhh.. there's the rub. Everything is in the cloud. You get a small installer (setup) applet which then downloads and installs the program files.
      
      Save the installer in a safe place, i.e. on a safe external drive, for future use.
      
      If you want all files locally you'll probably need to buy the DVD copy.
      
      PS: Many desktop software applications are delivered like that now.

It worked with my Hotmail account with Australia as the location, using Chrome, but I had to select the backup DVD option before it would put it in my cart. Paid with an Aus Mastercard. Downloaded and installed OK.
Rupture on 19/01/2013 - 10:01

Worked with Hotmail address, thanks OP…unfortunately 'add to cart' link is broken in all region variations and browsers, only works with the inclusion of a backup CD…so $30 total…still awesome!
richox on 19/01/2013 - 10:03

For what it is worth, if you want multiple copies without paying 30 or making hotmail accounts, most companies I assume will have several aliases on each email. Examples are all [email protected] employees will have business unit specific emails like [email protected] and [email protected] and so forth which will probably work as well.
- newguy on 19/01/2013 - 10:11
  
  How can you get through the link without actually login to the email?
  - richox on 19/01/2013 - 10:18
    
    the email will go to your normal mailbox. the email address is different but its just an alias for your main one
    - newguy on 19/01/2013 - 10:22
      
      I don't get it. Don't you need to own the email address to be able to forward mails from that email to your main email account?
    - gilbarc on 19/01/2013 - 11:12
      
      He's saying if you already own the first email address, you might be able to buy additional copies if your company has alternate email addresses for different units etc.

The per-PC licensing model is stricter in this release. If you want to install the traditional versions of Office 2013 on multiple PCs, you’ll need to buy separate licenses for each one. Office 2013 offers no multi-copy discounts for traditional packaged software as Office 2010 does. Quote from ZDnet.

I found the answers to some of the licensing questions asked above from Microsoft's FAQs.

On how many computers can I install the software?

2 computers, either 2 PCs or 2 Macs, specific to the software that was purchased.

Can I purchase 1 copy of Office Professional Plus 2013 and 1 copy of Mac 2011?

No. You can purchase only one licence for either PC or Mac. You may, however, use the product key 2 times for 2 installations on different machines.

Is the key valid for ever or time based?
What will happen, if we want to install if after installing windows again on the same PC. I understand we cannot do it on another PC as it is single PC, but what happens to the same PC again.

  This is what Microsoft says:-
  
  Who qualifies for the Home Use Programme (HUP)?
  
  The Home Use Programme is a Software Assurance benefit available to Microsoft volume licensing customers with active Software Assurance coverage on their Office applications. Employees who use the covered licences at work are eligible to purchase these Office applications for use on a home PC during the term of their employment. This temporary licence expires with the employers Software Assurance coverage, or upon termination of employment with the covered customer.
  
  But I suspect that they won't chase it up. In my experience, you can reinstall office on the same PC and you won't have problems reactivating it.

Anyone received their backup CD yet? Is it the retail one or just a burned CD?
- bxpressiv on 19/01/2013 - 13:57
  
  For previous HUP purchases, they usually ship Fedex from Malaysia/Singapore or something like that. The disc comes in an official case and the disc (for 2010) had official Microsoft markings and is hologramed with the markings Microsoft/Genuine and not for resale. Also clearly states Not For Retail or OEM Distribution.
  
  The sticker on the disc does not include your serial which you received in the transaction.
  
  So to answer your question, it's a specific HUP disc.
  
  Edit: Just noticed DHL is free and Fedex is $30 extra this time round.
