Microsoft Home Use Program
for LWTech Employees
Good news! We have a renewed contract to continue participation in Microsoft’s Software Assurance Home Use Program (HUP) for the year 2014-2015! This program continues to replace the software distribution we used to do through our Library. This program enables you to get a licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2013 for $9.95+tax to install and use on your home computer. There are 9 programs in this version of Office including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, Publisher, InfoPath and Lync. Office 2011 for the Mac, and Microsoft Project Professional 2013 are also available. Unfortunately, Windows licenses are not part of the program including Windows 8 upgrades. You will need to purchase Windows on your own.
Under the Home Use Program, you may download a licensed copy of the software to install and use on one home computer at a time. You can also order a backup DVD of the installation program in case you have a slow Internet connection or plan to replace your computer in the near future. The HUP benefit is limited to 1 copy per employee. This program does not include students of LWTech. You may continue using HUP software for as long as you are employed at LWTech.
