I am planning on buying the Student/Teacher version of Office 2004...are there any limitations or differences between the Student/Teacher version and the regular one? Anything you can't do with this version that the other can?

Thanks.

Let us know how it is in 200 years. Seriously though, they are byte for byte exactly the same. However, you do get THREE codes with the Student Teacher version so you can legally install it on up to three different Macs.

yeah the 3 serial numbers is the only difference, which means you can split the cost within your house hold and all get individual support should you need it.

the only thing to watch is, once you've finished being a student/teacher you must stop using the app and buy the full version!!!! like anyone is going to do this!

I have always been told that the difference is that you can't legally do anything that directly makes money, or even aids in making money, with the "educational" version.

Weird! I mean if you're using it as a teacher for preparing work for students and such, doesn't that help to keep you in a job, and hence aid in making money for you?

I think what you mean is you can't use it commercially. Schools and universities for the most part are non-profit, and therefore qualify for educational software.

Yup, that's exactly what I mean... so if a non-teacher/student purchases it, they can't use it commercially, i.e. profit from its use. So if you're writing the next great American novel, and want to sell it some day, buy a regular version.
