Microsoft Home Use Programme (HUP)
MoD employees qualify for Microsoft HUP
The products currently available are Office Professional Plus 2010, Office for MAC 2011, Project Professional 2010 and Visio Premium 2010. These are available as a download at £8.95 each. In addition, you also have the option of buying a back-up DVD per product for a further £9.00.
SharePoint Designer is now available as a free download from:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/FX100487631033.aspx
Please note that you are only entitled to purchase one download for each available product, but you can install it on 2 machines (usually a fixed device e.g. your Desktop at home, and a mobile device e.g. your Laptop). For the purposes of HUP, the versions of Office count as one, therefore you can order Office Pro Plus 2010 or Office for MAC 2011, but not both
The Home Use Programme is ideal for customers who occasionally use their home PC for work purposes.
