Microsoft Office 2007 Home Use Program Available

As part of a new offering from Microsoft, Technology Services has arranged for you to participate in the Home Use Program (HUP). This enables you to order a licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise to install and use on your home computer as long as you have a valid City of Appleton email address, which Microsoft uses to verify your City employment. You only pay the shipping/handling costs of around $20.00. Normally this product retails for well over $400.00. The main programs in this suite include Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook and Access.

You may order a single copy of Microsoft Office 2007 to install and use on a home computer. and you can continue using this HUP software while you are employed by the City of Appleton. While this is offered through the City's contract with Microsoft, please be aware that the TS Help Desk cannot provide any support for installation or use of this on your home computers. You can contact Microsoft directly for that support if needed.

To access the Microsoft Home Use Program web site, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to https://hup.microsoft.com/
2. Select the country to which you wish your order to be shipped to and choose the language for viewing the order web site.

3. Enter your corporate email address (must end in appleton.org or apl.org) and insert the following program code FC89D918AD . Note: this program code is assigned to our organization for our sole use in accessing this site. You may not share this number with anyone outside our organization.

4. You will receive an email from Microsoft containing the link to the actual order site. Please read the Program Guidelines before attempting to place your order. Place your order on-line and it will be shipped to the location you have chosen. Please note that a fulfillment fee will be charged to cover packaging, shipping and handling costs.

We trust you will enjoy this option and look forward to your participation.
