Question 1

How may computers can this be on?

Accepted Answer

This version is  limited to 2 pc's.  If you need certain programs on multiple pc's, like spreadsheets or a word processor, I would download open office as it has compatibility for Microsoft documents. Assuming you'll most likely need many of the Microsoft programs, make sure this is installed on the 2 computers that are used most often. You can also use Word, Excel, and PowePoint for free via a web based version (requires constant internet connection) if you have a Live, Hotmail, or MSN account.

Question 2

Does this specific product item come with Office 365 software CD/DVD, or it is a key card?

Accepted Answer

Thanks. Not sure then the advantage of buying the key card from newegg.com, as one could download from Microsoft and many other sites.

Question 3

I'm a university teacher setting up a new computer . . . do you think it will work for me if I'm not actually a student?

Accepted Answer

If you're setting this up on your home computer then this will be perfect. Especially because most campuses sell this software to students you will have the same versions and capabilities they will.

That being said, if you're setting it up on a work computer I'd talk to your IT techs to see if that licensing is ok. Universities have special deals with microsoft for their software, and likely you can get a free or heavily price reduced version through them.

Hope this helps!

Question 4

what is it mean by verification required?

Accepted Answer

It means you must supply a university/college email address so they can verify you are eligible to receive the Office 365 University pricing. If you are unable to do that, you are left to pay a little more for the regular Office 365.

Question 5

Can a High School student PURCHASE and use this?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe so; the verification process requires an email address ending in .edu, so unless the High School student has such an address, I don't think it will work.  I'd contact Microsoft to make sure.

Question 6

Can this be installed on two separate PCs?

Accepted Answer

I believe that is the purpose for giving you two, yes. However, my laptop was rather new when I purchased this and it did an automatic reinstall update on its own, deleting my brand new office, so I had to use my second one to replace my first. Before you use your serving one, just make sure nothing will update without your permission first.

Question 7

What form of Verification is Required. My Kids are in an Online school. What do I ask for?

Accepted Answer

Usually an educational email address is required, something that ends in .edu. If you do not have one of those then you might have to look into other possible forms of verification.

Question 8

this only has a 2 egg rating for what seems to be the same thing as office for mac 2011, any information on why such a low rating? thanks

Accepted Answer

I bought this from Newegg in August. Never reviewed it. Anyway, I can only speculate the reason office 365 has two stars; it is a 4 year subscription for 80 dollars. After the four years you have to renew the subscription every year if you are not in school anymore and I believe it is 99 dollars a year and it includes 5 computers. You can buy a non subscription of office home and student for 139. Hope this helps!

Question 9

Can I use this for 1 mac and one PC?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure I only used this for one PC

Question 10

Is it optimised for Mac 10.10?

Accepted Answer

I am personally using it for Windows and it is working excellently. The info states it works for both Mac's and Pc. So my long answer is yes it is also made for mac's. Buy it you won't regret it.
