The edition of Microsoft Office 2010 you get for free corresponds to the edition of Microsoft Office 2007 you have. If you got it at a school bookstore or from OntheHub or JourneyEd, you’d have to get in touch with them to get your free loot. But they are still entitled to a free copy of Office 2010 through their reseller. That includes anyone who bought or buys a PC with an Office 2007 product pre-installed, provided they are an authorized reseller (Best Buy, New Egg, etc.)Ĭustomers who got a discounted Microsoft Office 2007 edition through a Student Select program other than The Ultimate Steal ( the groovy deal linked above) aren’t officially eligible for the free upgrade through the Microsoft Technology Guarantee program. For example, if you got your copy through the Home Use Rights program or via an unauthorized reseller (i.e., eBay or The Pirate Bay), then you’re likely out of luck.īut for eligible users, you can download your free copy of Microsoft Office 2010 right now over at /en-us/tech-guarantee. There are some caveats, qualifications, and eligibility requirements. It’s all thanks to the Microsoft Technology Guarantee, which allows anyone who bought a Microsoft Office 2007 product between March 5, 2010, and September 30, 2010, to get a Microsoft Office 2010 free. Well, this time the discount is as good or perhaps even better as in FREE for those of you who’ve recently purchased a copy of Microsoft Office 2007! But as all you groovyReaders out there know, I hate paying full price for anything, especially since with a little digging you can generally find a discount on just about everything! For example, back in September 2009, I talked about the college student discount for Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate where students could grab a copy for just $59.99.
