A question about : MOD personnel: Very cheap Microsoft software + other stuff:

Very cheap Microsoft software + other stuff:

Now before anyone says this has been going for years, it's the first i've heard of it! Anyway:

MOD personnel are entitled to 1 copy of Microsoft products (only those listed). I have just purchased Office 2007 Enterprise for Ј8.95 (RRP Ј300!!).

https://sabs.sbl.r.mil.uk/ - from a works pc.

register with works email

click Home Use Program

and you should see:

The products currently available to download include:
Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition 2007
Microsoft Office Project 2007
Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007
Microsoft Office MAC 2008

Apparently they used to mail out the cd, but now it is a download (they mail the links to your home email).

If you have a look around the site, there are PC games, XBox games, loads of stuff!!

Fantastic!!

Best answers:

  • That sounds good But I'm not on DII thankfully yet.
  • lucky you, it sucks! Well, it is handy for visiting a different Unit or even a different office and been able to log on to your own system, but the file storage is a joke.
  • That's where my Office 2007 came from! The link gets put on the Defence Bulletin Board every now and again - it's great value (for those with a DII account).
  • Have you got another link please, I can't get that one to work?
  • One thing to be wary of with these products is that they are the OEM versions. This means that they only have 3 installs (or is it 5) and then the product cannot be used again. This isn't a problem if your computer system is stable, but if it crashes often, or you wish to put it on several computers, just be careful!
  • Thanks for the info, hubbys eyes just lit up when I mentioned xbox games haha.
    But yes, thanks very much, we need Office as our trial is about to run out
  • Just wondering if it needs to be a DII account or would other IGS accounts like Navynet work?
  • Don't know if it's a long standing issue but the page with the Xbox games errors before you can place an order, so I couldn't actually see what the prices were.
    To be honest, the choice isn't that great with only about 8 games.
  • Does anybody know if the new discounts offered to students on Microsoft 7 and the new office suite will be extended to the MOD? If not, does anybody have any idea of how to apply a bit of pressire to make it so?
  • Try emailing Bill Gates with a descent email you never know.
  • Probably in due course, or when they realise nobody will pay full price for it !!
