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 !!
