Registering Software (Students & Faculty/Staff Home-Use CDs):
The Microsoft CDs that can be purchased by students and faculty/staff for home-use are on a special disc called a LVP. Only one Microsoft Office CD can be purchased (plus exchange for an upgrade as mentioned above). The software can be installed and registered on one computer that you own (i.e. desktop or laptop). If you have Office installed and buy a new computer, you can remove Office from the old computer and install on your new computer. Office must be registered after each install with Microsoft. You will be required to register your LVP software with Microsoft and enter a confirmation number provided by Microsoft before the 50th launch of the software. If the software is not registered before the 50th launch, it will no longer work until it is registered. You can register the software via the network, modem, mail or telephone (1-888-652-2342).
