What is the Office 2010 Microsoft Technology Guarantee?

The Microsoft Tech Guarantee allows Software4Students customers to begin using Office 2007 now while assuring them access to Office 2010 when it becomes available, at no additional licensing cost (Just the cost of media or online fulfilment.)

How does Microsoft Office 2010 Technology Guarantee work?

Customers that purchase Office 2007 via Software4Students between March 5, 2010 and September 30, 2010, receive rights to Office Pro Plus 2010 and may acquire Office Pro Plus 2010 software when it becomes available at no additional license cost. Students must acquire the Office 2010 software by October 31, 2010 to take advantage of this Tech Guarantee.

Which Office 2007 editions qualify for the Tech Guarantee?

Office Standard 2007, Office Pro Plus 2007, and Office Enterprise 2007 all qualify under the Tech Guarantee. In all cases, customers exercising the Tech Guarantee will receive Office Pro Plus 2010, which will become the sole edition of Office 2010 offered through Software4Students.

How do I get my copy of Office Pro Plus 2010 when it becomes available?

All customer who purchase Office Standard 2007, Office Pro Plus 2007, and Office Enterprise 2007 between March 5th 2010 and September 30, 2010 from Software4Students will receive an e-mail notifying them of the availability of Office Pro Plus 2010 when it is released by Microsoft.

The Software4Students program limits fulfillment of software to students to one copy of software per license. How will the TG be implemented considering this restriction?

To enable the tech guarantee, Microsoft is temporarily allowing customers to make a software-only order(s) for the sole purpose of fulfilling Office Pro Plus 2010 to end users that purchased Office 2007 during the TG window. This option is provided through a grant letter posted at http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com

Should we simply wait to purchase Office 2010 when it becomes available?

You can wait to purchase Office 2010 when it becomes available. However, with the technology guarantee, customers can purchase and be productive now with Office 2007, and still be assured of access to Office 2010 as soon as it becomes available.

Will we have rights to run both Office 2007 and Office 2010?

The tech guarantee allows customers to effectively purchase Office 2010 in advance, but still acquire the Office 2007 media/download today. Customers will have one license of Office 2010, which provides downgrade rights. Customers are NOT receiving two licenses, and do not have the option to transfer one of those - you are purchasing a single license, and the temporary flexibility to purchase Office 2007 media/download now, and Office 2010 media/download as it becomes available. Complete Office 2010 use rights will be published when Office 2010 is available at: http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com
