According to the Technology Guarantee FAQ <https://www.techg.arvatousa.com/OfficeMacTechG/FAQ.aspx>: "Download of Office for Mac 2011 is available for select languages and markets. If the Download Office for Mac 2011 option appears on your My Account <https://www.techg.arvatousa.com/OfficeMacTechG/MyAccountLogin.aspx> page during the redemption process, you are able to download Office for Mac 2011. If it does not appear, you will be able to to purchase a DVD. A DVD can be purchased until December 31, 2010." >2) Will it still come with 3 product keys and be installable on 3 >machines? It will come with one product key but you will be able to activate that key up to three times at any one time. >3) Where/when/how to upgrade to the 2011 Business Edition? Do I wait 1st >to get the 2011 Home & Student upgrade done and then go into Word or >Excel and "purchase" a Business upgrade? The upgrade from Home & Student 2011 to Home & Business 2011 will be done within the application itself. You will complete a form, enter your credit card information and receive an additional product key. This product key will unlock Outlook and other features specific to the Home & Business edition. If your credit card is not accepted for the upgrade then you should contact Microsoft customer service. Contact information should be available during the purchasing process. >5) I am a little worried about "purchasing" anything on this site. I >tried it before for the Home & Student version.

Since you had difficulty with the initial purchase then you may experience difficulty with the upgrade process. No one has gone through this process yet, so we can¹t give you any real-world details. Software is sold online to specific countries usually because tax and customs laws allow it. The software may not be available in Ecuador because of difficulties with these laws. -- William Smith -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
