It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they discontinue non-subscription licensing entirely in the near future. Microsoft is, ah, actively encouraging their subscription models. More, small shops often find it easier to cough up $120/month rather than $1440 all at once.

This means you can kill a license if you lose people, and can easily add licenses as you grow. However, the subscription model means you can actually pay monthly as an operational cost. They've been in business for quite some time, and are 100% above-board. ( Side Note: CS Business Systems offers the same thing for $189 each. (Microsoft has backed off on the "non-transferrable" bit.) That puts you at $2190 (plus tax) for 10 users. Office 2013 Home & Business is $219 at Staples. Is there a cheaper way of purchasing 10 licenses of office 2010 home and student? Thank you Until now we always bought individual licenses for office.

We have a new install of 10 identical workstations. This allows you to stretch your budget a bit by only purchasing office for those that actually need it.Īnd I don't think anyone would suggest you willfully violate Microsoft Licensing. If you're strapped for cash there are plenty of alternatives that may work for you, such as LibreOffice or OpenOffice, both provide near identical features to office, and are about 95% compatible with Office. Purchasing licenses for, say, a DELL computer that you never owned, and applying it, even to your own DELL computer, is not in line with licensing and is no different than just pirating office to begin with. I believe what he is referring to (or hopefully) is the "system builder" version of windows, but for office.ĪFIK they no longer make this available, there may have been a time when this was done, but it no longer is. OEM licenses are only legally sold with a brand new computer by a system builder, bundled with the machine. It is illegal to use OEM licenses on existing computers. They are all expensive no matter what way you look at it, but find a computer store that sells parts and they'll be happy to sell you 10 copies of Office OEM. It will comprise of the CD and the case, unlike the retail that has the fancy box, documentation, etc. (OEM, meaning Original Equipment Manufacturer) tends to be 20 - 40 dollars cheaper than the Retail version. The best way I found to buy MS products is OEM, not the retail version.
