? about MS Office Home and Student 2010
I just got MS Office Home and Student 2010. (downloadable only)
I do most of my work (correspondence, marketing etc) on my PC. But I do my composing on a laptop. So I really need to have (we only have one download left) the 2010 on my laptop, but--if possible--I'd also like to use it on my PC. A complication--my laptop is not on-line (so, no way to download 2010). I was thinking I could download the 2010 onto a pen drive and then use it on the laptop and on my PC. Will this fly? And if not, any alternative ideas? Thanks. |

I do not know if this option is given with microsoft downloads or not but usually when you start a download it usually gives the option of installing or saving. When you see that you can choose to save it to your hard drive and then copy it where ever you want to.
If you remember this option showing when you have downloaded in the past then just save it and then copy to your thumbdrive. Maybe someone that has done this will post and let you know for sure. |

And odds are, it can only be legitimately installed to one machine; the old verification system used to allow multiple installs but they've been working to prevent that. However, unless you absolutely need the newer features, there are low-cost options for the earlier versions. |

Edit to add: Activation - I don't know about this version, but the regular 2010 version has an offline activation option. |

What Nash said is one reason I switched from a Home edition to a Pro edition. It didn't hurt that my day job has enough business with Microsoft for us employees to qualify for their "Home Use" program. Check with your employer because that deal is only $9.95 for the Pro suite!

+1 here too buy I keep them in my Drop Box (referal url so if you sign up we both get free space). That does not work for an off line machine though... I also keep my ebooks in it - allows easy access/back up of them.

I suggest you look around or call MS and ask to buy or add on the 3 copy option for about $15 more.
The problems will come later with the updating. |
