I want to purchase Office 2011 and have waited for Black Friday hoping for a good deal.

I use mostly Word and Excel and rarely Powerpoint but my email use is all through Apple Mail or Thunderbird so I don't need Outlook so have decided on the Home and Student Edition.

I see the basic Home and Student Edition is available for $89 on Amazon and it appears the Family Pack for 3 computers is available for $109.

The problem is our household has 4 computers and I don't want to have to pay for a Family Pack plus one basic pack. Apple software's Family Pack allows for 5 computers. Is there any option for Home and Student Edition for more than 3 computers?

If I have read correctly the Family Pack only allows for Office to be used on 3 computers or either comes with 3 licenses for 3 separate computers.

Thank you for your help and if you know where I can get it for even cheaper than I stated above let me know.

You've figured it out. You could just go improperly licensed.

Don't forget that;
A) Office 2011 requires online activation, and,
B) One software key is provided for up to three activations.

It's quite simple. If you have four computers, you need four licenses.
