Microsoft Terms of Use
Microsoft Office Home Student Activation
Activation is aimed at reducing software piracy as well as helping to ensure that
Microsoft customers are receiving the software quality that they expect. Activation means
that a specific Product Key becomes associated with the hardware it is installed on. The
Microsoft Software License Terms for 2007 Microsoft Office system state the number of
times your Product Key can be used for activation. Once you have used the Product Key for
the specified number of times on the same or different computers, that Product Key can no
longer be used for activation on other computers. Activation does not require any personal
information.
Activation is mandatory. After the grace period expires, you must activate the software to
be able to continue using it.
During activation, the product ID and a non-unique hardware identification are sent to
Microsoft. The product ID is generated from the Product Key used to install the software
and a generic code representing the version and language of Office being activated. The
non-unique hardware identification represents the configuration of your PC at the time of
activation. The hardware identification does not include any personal information or any
information about other software or data that may be on your PC. It cannot be used to
determine the specific make or model of your PC. The hardware identification is used solely
for the purpose of activation. Your copy of Office can detect and accept changes to your PC
configuration. Minor upgrades do not require re-activation. If you uninstall 2007 Microsoft
Office system, you may be required to activate your product again.
None of the information collected will be used to personally identify you and none of this
information is shared with partners outside Microsoft. The information is used only to
confirm that you have a licensed copy of the software.
For more information about Activation, see Activate Microsoft Office programs.
You can use the plan as long as you are working at a qualified school. Your eligibility may
be re-verified at any time. When your Office 365 Education plan expires:
The Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means that you can
view documents, but you cannot edit or create new documents.
Online services associated with the school email address—for example, Office Online and
OneDrive—will no longer work.
If your plan expires, you can extend your plan by re-verifying your status as an educator,
or by moving to an Office 365 personal plan.
End of support for Office 2007

End of support for Office 2007

Support for Office 2007 ended on October 10, 2017. All of your Office 2007 apps will
continue to function. However, you could expose yourself to serious and potentially
harmful security risks. Upgrade to a newer version of Office so you can stay up to date with
all the latest features, patches, and security updates.
Here's what the end of support means for you:
You'll no longer receive Office 2007 software updates from Microsoft Update.
You'll no longer receive security updates. Security updates are what help protect your PC
from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
You'll no longer receive phone or chat technical support.
No further updates to support content will be provided. In fact, most online help content
will be retired.
You'll no longer be able to download Office 2007 from the Microsoft web site.
Why is Microsoft doing this?
Office 2007, like most Microsoft products, has a support lifecycle during which we provide
new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. This lifecycle typically lasts for 10 years
from the date of the product’s initial release.
What are my options?
Although you'll still be able to use Office 2007, we recommend upgrading to a newer
version of Office so you can stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security
updates.
