Microsoft-Home use program

=============================================
Yes, FREE....!!

Why spend money on Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Etc.) when you don't have to. One of the benefits to ROEL's Microsoft Enterprise Licensing Agreement is that you can get special pricing on some Microsoft Software and even get some of it for FREE.  Read on for the detailed info about each of the programs.

===========================================

Microsoft Home Use Program

As part of a new offering from Microsoft, you are eligible to participate in the Home Use Program (HUP). This program enables you to get a licensed copy of most Microsoft Office desktop applications to install and use on your home computer.

For each product eligible for the Home Use Program for which you are a licensed user with active Software Assurance coverage, you may order a single copy of that product to install and use on a home computer. You may continue using this HUP software while you are under our employment and as long as the software you use at work has active Software Assurance coverage.

Please note that some product and language versions may not be available at the time you place an order. For up-to-date information on the availability of Home Use Program software, please visit http://microsoft.com/licensing.

The primary software available to Roel Employees at this time is the Microsoft Office Professional Package which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Groove, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, and Publisher.  You will also have the option to purchase Project, Visio or even Office for MAC once you log into the website.
