All an employee needs is an email and the program code. You get to say "Hey ! Since you work at SuperAwesomeCorp we've arranged to get you SUPER CHEAP copies of Office! This is the best place ever, right?!" and all that. It's basically just a perk they tack on to make the whole licensing package sound nicer. The Home Use Program (HUP) is designed so employees of a company with a MS licensing agreement can purchase (very inexpensively) copies of Office so they can work at home. I'm the benefit administrator for my company's MS Enterprise Agreement and I can see exactly how this happened.

Tl dr If you have the $$$ pay the full price like myself, if not $10 is better than nothing and MS get other benefits later down the road. Look at the Steam sales and how much money the software made even with 90% off versus what they normally made. Lastly, $10 is more than what they would have gotten if people pirate. (I'll link those articles once I find them.) (Their OS "upgrades" are much cheaper.) The same problem drove people to open office or stalled their sales of offices for that year. If you ran a successful business at home and are smart, you'll pay the full price for office/windows to write off the expenses.Īn example of them being so strict and losing market share is the Genuine Windows fiasco that drove people to Apple and their penetration into corporations.

Like many other software companies, they realize that "hooking" you at home or as a student ensures that you will want to use it at work. Microsoft is a large company and the majority of their customers are businesses paying the huge licensing fees. I'm not going to address the legality of this since most of us can judge that for ourselves.
