Does anyone have an Office 2011 Open Academic license?

[gerdstroem]

Hi,

I want to buy Office 2011 but I'm trying to figure if I can find a cheaper version than the regular Home and Student. I live in Denmark so I don't have access to all the discount-stuff that you have in the states. However, I stumpled upon a version called "Open Academic" that I can purchase for about 2/3 of the normal price. I want to be sure that I can make it work though. Does anyone have this version, and can they verify that I don't need to register it as being a student somewhere in the US (or any other parameter that I don't fullfill being a normal university student i Danmark)

Regards
Jesper

Isn't there any who purchased this edition of Office?

I don't think the Open License version is what you think it is. It's intended more for institutions to purchase in volume not individual end-user purchase.

Microsoft Open License is a software volume licensing program designed for corporate, government, charity, and academic customers who order as few as five licenses. After the initial order, customers can benefit from volume pricing for all licenses for the remainder of the term of their Open License authorization number.With Open License Volume you can potentially save a lot if your organization is able to make a large initial up-front order in one or more product pools (applications, systems, servers).

(Emphasis mine.)

If you're finding Open Academic Licensed copied for individual sale, it's probably less than legitimate.

You're not going to find it much cheaper than the Home and Student version at any rate. That's about as affordable as it's gonna get.
