Microsoft Office Home or Professional

I need to purchase Microsoft Office for my four home computers, but I have a server at my house for an intranet, and email.
Which Microsoft Office edition will work with this setup? And do I have to purchase 4 different softwares to make this work?
Seems dedundant if there all my computers, and I'm the owner to them.

That depends on which Office programs you need to use. Home/Professional come with different options.
By the book, yes you need to purchase separate copies, especially for professional. Unofficially, I've installed my own copy of Professional on multiple machines without any ill effect.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Reinstalling Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 - OS 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium on Dell Inspiron

    To start at the begining....no, that's not fair, that goes all the way back to March 24th!
    My hard drive has been wiped clean twice now...First time was not by MY choice...the guy from India just talked me through it, with no warning of what was going to be the result.  What a nightmare! 
    This 2nd time when I have "retrieved" my files from my external hard drive...my documents are there....just can't open them!  
    Following messages when opening Word or Outlook:
    "Please wait...."etc. "Configuration in Progress Microsoft Office Home and Business".... which takes forever!
    Then:
    "Your AutoCorrect file: c:\users\Tosi\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\MSO1033.acl, could not be saved.  the file may be read only, or you man not have permission to modify the file."
    Then:
    "Word cannot open existing file (Normal)
    In tyring to open Outlook...
    Big Red cirlce with an X in it:  Could not install the custom actions.  The form Cache file c:\users\Tosi\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Forms\FRMCACHE>DAT is not valid.  Contact your administrator.
    The same message as Word  "Your AutoCorrcet....etc....MSO1033.acl ...etc. "
    I have tried to change permissions...no luck.  How to I get FULL control over my own computer?  Please!
    When I do finally get Outlook open, nothing is in there.  I looked for my Outlook Data folder and I see that my .pst data file is in 5 places, yet it is not connecting with Outlook.  No mail, address or calendar are in there. (to back
    track...the first time I retrieved my stuff off the hard drive everything worked)
    Microsoft has promissed numerous times to assit me to resolve these problems through very lovely emails but no one has called to follow up and help me.  I really need help and I am running out of patience. 
    Soon I will be saying "Goodbye Microsoft!  Goodbye Dell!  Hello Apple!" 
    Help please! 
    Thank you,
    SMTosi

    As per your description, seems the installation of Office have got completely corrupted. I would suggest you to completely remove Office 2010 from your computer and then reinstall it.
    For how to remove/uninstall Office from your computer, I would suggest you to use Microsoft Fix It tool:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179
    After uninstalling Office, please restart your computer then try a reinstallation. If you don't have the Office 2010 installation source or DVD, please go to this website to get Office 2010 installation package: 
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/microsoft-office-2010-backup-FX101853122.aspx (you might need to provide the product key of Office 2010)
    Hope this helps. Thanks a lot for your patience.

  • Microsoft Office Home and Business Edition 2013

     Dear Team,
    We are planning to procure microsoft office home and business edition 2013. We want to procure 50- Microsoft office home and business edition. Please let us know if there is  any limitations in the licensing part as you have spoken to one of your
    executive in microsoft. As per him we procure as many as per our requirement, it is legal for 200 users.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh Kumar  

    Hi,
    I haven't found any other limitation in the licensing part except you should install Office on one PC at a time.
    If you want to purchase 50 copies, I'm pretty sure there's no problem. But you may have to maintain 50 licence keys along with boxes and invoice, be careful and don't mess them up :)

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office home and student 2010

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple, i'm trying to insatl Microsoft office home and student 2010 onto my mac but it keeps saying "you can't open the application "setup.exe" because microsoft windows does not support the application"
    could anyone help?
    Kind regards
    Jordan

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you are trying to install Office 2010 on OS X. That's not possible because that version is for Windows, so you have to install Windows on your Mac. As you are going to use it only for Microsoft Office, download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows on a virtual machine.
    Another option is to purchase Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

  • Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010

    I bought the family pack of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 and every time I try to install it on my computer it cancels and goes to this message saying "Setup has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will
    close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I also already have word installed on my computer and every time I click the desktop icon it goes to the windows installer and prepares to install , but then it say fatal error during installation. 
    Can anyone help with this problem?

    Open Control Panel --> Programs and Features, remove any Office program you find. If you have problem when remove these programs, you can use the Fix-it Utility in the following support artcile:

  • How I can use my family pack Microsoft Office Home

    How I can use my family pack Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010  PC software on my  current Mac Notebook?  Since my new operating system is "OS X" technically I wouldn't have such a issue, but it does & I couldn't run the office 2010.  By using iZip Unarciver only I was able to open the disk, but not to run 2010. 

    You have two choices if you want to use Office:
    1) purchase Mac: Office 2011
    2) install Windows on your Mac and use the Office 2010 you own

    Upgraded to Lion.  Microsoft office home and student 2007 not compatible.  what do i need to do to be able to access office files?

    RRFS is correct, however you are incorrect. There is no such thing as MS Office for Mac 2007, your software is probably MS Office for Mac 2004! You can upgrade to MS Office for Mac 2011 for as little as $97 at www.macsales.com or Amazon has it for $90.00.
    Once you have upgraded all of your Office data files can then be opened.

    Unless you install Windows on another partition using Bootcamp, or else install it in a virtual program like VMware Fusion or Parallels,  you will need to purchase Office For Mac 2011.

  • Microsoft Office Home disc convert to Mac use?

    Hi
    I have a Microsoft Office Home and Students disc is it possible to convert this to Mac use? 

    If it's the Windows version you would have to install Windows with Bootcamp, Parallels or some other software and run Windows.
    (Borrowed from Kappy)
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Error 1704 - Can't install Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

    Hi,
    I am attempting to install Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 on my windows 8.
    I ran the setup like normal and it went 100% but froze and nothing else happened.
    I then looked into a few threads and saw that I should run it in compatibility mode. When I did this I got an error message, which stated, "Error 1704. An installation for Microsoft Office Office 64-bit components 2007 is currently suspended. You must
    undo these changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?"
    Seems simple, but when I click yes, the error message immediately comes back up (which just continues no matter how many times I press yes. So I press no and it ends....
    I don't know much about computers but I need to get my resume in to a job ASAP!
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I was looking for help with this same problem on my Wifes MBP but with Excel, while I was looking for solutions, I tried installing Messenger again, fixing disk permissions with disk utility, as well as other things, none worked. Then I was looking for where this nasty mbukernel file lived.
    That was when I noticed that "Microsoft Excel.app" was in the /Applications folder instead of the "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011", so I moved the Microsoft Excel.app back into the office folder and wallah it all works as intended.
    Hopefully that will help yourself and others with this obscure problem.
    Cheers
