Deal URL = http://www.microsofthup.com/hupuk/home.aspx?country_id=GB

Use the above URL, please. For some reason HUKD is redirecting to MS Store instead of the HUP site.

This is a heads-up for Office 2016 available under home use program (very similar to the Office 2013 deal posted a few days ago). If your employer is participating in this, you should be able to purchase Microsoft Office 2016 for £9.95. The purchased software can be installed on 1 home computer (Mac/PC).

You can go to the deal URL and provide your work email to check whether you are eligible. Even if you do not know your "Program Code," you can still proceed.

Please note that if you go to the deal URL before 7th Oct, you will be able to get Office 2013 only. To get Office 2016, please attempt purchase only on or after 7th Oct. This is as per -- https://blogs.office.com/2015/10/01/your-top-questions-about-office-2016-answered/, where they have mentioned as below:-

4. When will Volume Licensing customers be able to get Office 2016?

Volume Licensing customers will be able to download Office 2016 from the Volume Licensing Service Center beginning today, and Home Use Program (HUP) customers can install Office 2016 beginning on October 7, 2015. MSDN Subscriptions customers can download Office 2016 now.

Office for Mac 2016 v15.15 is now available through AutoUpdate

But you do get decent pensions, free bus travel, winter fuel allowance etc which is far more than the next generation will get when they get there. You've also grown up in times where house prices were much much lower relative to salary giving you more disposable income than young people get these days. I obviously don't know anything about your personal circumstances but in general the retired generation today do pretty well for themselves, probably far better than any subsequent generations.

False complaint though. This wasn't available when you were working it's as simple as that. What will I bemoan when I'm retired because something wasn't available in the prime of my life? Answer = nothing, because I accept that lived when I lived. I wouldn't worry about it, just live and be grateful of your time. There will likely be things towards the end of my life and beyond my lifespan that I will never experience, because I was simply born at the wrong time. Except no one is born at the wrong time, take every day and live it. The present moment is all we ever have, and almost none of us live it. There will be unimaginable technology in the future, when I see sci-fi films even like Tomorrowland, I start to think of the future, and what I'll 'miss' from not being alive. The problem with dwelling on the future or the past, is that you don't live in the present and therefore you don't really live as full a life as you can. Basic mindfulness. People could wish they lived in your time where they could afford to buy a house, most can't now. You get my drift anyway :smiley:

Summary: You have nothing to complain about.

Check with your College/University.
Where I'm studying students get free Office 365 Pro.
At the moment I'm still on 2013 with that 365 but I think they'll roll out 2016 sooner or later.

smckirdy to tarryboy

4 Oct 15 #118

May have it, undergrads often don't though just post grad research and up since they are kind of staff. If your uni is on office 365 though it's probably free, all you need to do is log in to your email and go to your account software section.

Does anyone know whether the NHS are on the HUP? I remember them taking themselves out of it, but trying to find out from our HR is like banging your head against a brick wall! :smile:

alanhutchy to mail-stephens

4 Oct 15 #35

No the NHS aren't part of the HUP scheme and I would advise anyone joining it to read the terms and conditions carefully.
Please read this cautionary tale from 2010:

It depends on your employer. We lost the HUP entitlement when I worked at the local Hospital, but when I moved to another local NHS employer, they still operate the scheme. Lucky for me I guess.

gregsayer to mail-stephens

4 Oct 15 #61

Incorrect,

although the NHS wide Enterprise agreement was cancelled, most NHS organisation now have there own, so if you work for the NHS i'd suggest contacting your helpdesk.

and before anyone disagrees with me, I set up the HUP for the trust I work for.

hobsgrg

4 Oct 15 #39

Yes if you leave your employer or your employer leaves the HUP you are "supposed" to uninstall it. However your copy isn't revoked so they rely on the honour system. It will keep on working fine.

forcedv

4 Oct 15 #41

Those who were eligible and got 2013 last time, can they get 2016 now?

Reason for the question is, the last we checked, it was one order per work email.

parky200 to forcedv

4 Oct 15 #43

I bought office 2010 and then office 2013 on the deal using the same email address so I would assume you would be ok. I will be trying 2016 on Weds....and it's great when you have 2 external employer email addresses to use.

devalentin to forcedv

4 Oct 15 #72

I too bought 2013, looking at the FAQ's I am assuming as long as I am willing to pay the extra £9.95 I can also get 2016. Not sure though if I can also use 2013 I would assume yes as it's still a valid key?
The policy is one license per employee per their selected product version (Office or Mac but not both). If you previously purchased Office 2007 or Office 2010 from the HUP program and you still meet the HUP program eligibility requirements you may purchase Office 2013. If you previously purchased Office for Mac 2011 you must wait until a new Mac version is released before you are eligible to purchase again.

4 Oct 15 1 #47

If your employer is on office 365 you can install and activate it on 4 other pc/mac for free :smiley:

mattclarkie to chilangopt

4 Oct 15 #54

Indeed, Office365 gives you 5 installs and my company allows you to use any not required for work on your home computer. So that's completely free.

The downside is you can't keep it once you stop working there.

avalon50

4 Oct 15 1 #49

So, here we go again, if you are working, you can get this for £9.95, but if you don't work, retired like me, I have to pay full price....something isn't right there.

4 Oct 15 1 #81

Yes it is. It's an employee incentive so that people are using the same software at home that they use at work, and essentially it's being subsidised by the thousands that the employers are paying for volume licensing in the first place.

Thanks OP, been waiting for this so good to know an exact date. Still on Office 2007 which I bought while I was a student (and didn't moan about having to pay for, either...) so it'll be nice to upgrade to the latest version.

deshepherd to avalon50

4 Oct 15 1 #82

it's more like when an employer buys a company wide licence for office they can also add on the ability for employees to work at home on their own PCs.

andrewa1966 to avalon50

4 Oct 15 4 #93

and its the overspending from when you worked which means
1) Every body else has to retire later
2) You enjoyed the property booms
3) You enjoy much better pensions (if you were wise when working)

so enjoy the fact that you should be much better off, than the people following in years to come

batvink to avalon50

7 Oct 15 2 #203

Yes, it's like the free dental and optician services you used to get and the next generation don't...just not right. And the extra 3 years of retirement you have that the next generation won't...just not right.
Life is more enjoyable when you look on the bright side. this isn't a sarcastic comment, it's true and worth taking note.

gregsayer

4 Oct 15 #63

Yep,

if they have a EWA (or even possibley a o365 e3 account?) they should have the code visible on their volume licencing portal (where they download all the Images of software and get their activation keys from).
just need a valid XXX.nhs.uk email address for the organisation you work for.

I bought the 2013 a couple of years back, does this licence also work on 2 computers? I hadn't realised this.

(Also if work just uses 2013, can I still buy 2016? and if so can I use both 2013 and 2016 at the same time? - on different machines)

grey to christopherwhiteis1

4 Oct 15 #71

1. On the 7th , input your works email address , then you`ll know
2. If you can , afaik , they are totally different purchases / not upgrades , so you should be able to use both licences on two machines each

If you need more than one copy of 2016 - ask all your workmates if you could order one through their email address , if they don`t want it - that`s how I got my 2013 (long boring story involving forgotten passwords) .

You need a program code and an e-mail address with the company that the code is associated to that MS will send the acknowledgement and download link to.

My employer had this agreement with MS little while ago and i bought it then as it seemed very good value, but never used it. recently bought new laptop, went to look for the confirmation email to find the download link that i couldnt find. Contacted MS only to find my employer doesnt have the agreement anymore so they cannot find any historic order details.

I understand you can use one copy for two machines at a time, I am going to be the one and try my luck, Admin: please delete if not allowed.
Is there anyone kind enough to willing to share a licence here? Of course i am hapy to share the cost or even pay for the whole licence :-) Thanks...

Forgive my ignorance but is not Office 2013 still cheap by doing it this way anyway - can we get it cheaper anywhere else? I would rather have slightly older software that had had the bugs ironed out.

TheVoice to patience_1

4 Oct 15 #98

It's less than £10, how much cheaper do you want it to be?! The average user is unlikely to come across any significant bugs, it's not worth worrying about.

It's the same interface style you see in Windows 8 and 10. Works really well in Office because it brings all the advanced features forward into view instead of hidden in a nest of menus.

rubenroadtrip

I'd recommend Open Office, its open source and pretty good.

Libre Office instead of Open Office. Libre is a fork of Open Office, and better in my opinion. Make sure you go in to the settings and set the default saves to Microsoft Office formats.

landwomble

4 Oct 15 #109

I'm surprised by this. I've never known a HUP to require any sort of payment. I work for Microsoft and whilst I'm not claiming to be particularly knowledgeable about this offer, usually the company's Software Assurance benefits admin just enables HUP and then anyone with an @thatcompany.com email address can download and use it whilst they're employed by that company. Every month the software phones home to check you're still valid.
If MS has decided that you need to pay a tenner to get it, that would be a new thing...

charliemike to landwomble

4 Oct 15 #110

No, I've been doing this for years and they've always charged that price.

thearbiter65 to landwomble

4 Oct 15 #117

You had to pay for it when I last used this deal in 2013.

landwomble

4 Oct 15 #111

Hmm. My customer are enterprise customers with SAB covered under their Enterprise Agreement and they definitely do not have a charge for their employees. I guess it depends how it's originally licenced to the employer.

On a related note, if your employer uses Office365 then you as an employee can download and install 5 copies of Office (latest version) for free.

LotusJas

4 Oct 15 #112

Awesome find OP, thanks. btw, is there any option to use it on your iPad as well as your PC?

cocoguy to LotusJas

4 Oct 15 1 #113

Office 2016 is free for devices with screen size <= 10 inches.

So if MS Office is available in Apple iTunes store, you should be able to use it for free - even without using this offer.

landwomble to LotusJas

4 Oct 15 1 #114

Don't think so via HUP. If you're using free licencing from your employer's O365 then yes, you can use it on your iPad.

Depending on your circumstances you could look at this
Office 365

£7.99 a month or £80 per annum for 5 pc's. I did actually pick this up for £40 (IIRC) in Tesco a couple of months ago from a deal posted here.

I can't do anything about the first point or 1, and as for point 2, I wouldn't say I actually enjoyed the property booms as I am working class and my my mortgage rate went up and down like nobody's business during the 80's / 90's.

I can't say that I do enjoy much better pensions as it all depends on your earnings at that time. I do admit tho' that I paid more into my company pension scheme, than the minimum or whatever the rate was at the time.

The benefits I have now is no mortgage and no car to pay for, I paid cash.

Just think of it, one day you can do the same, lol

Those people who will 'suffer' from the changes are those who benefited from the 'loads a money' actions since the '80's. I remember being told my low paid public service job was rubbish then.
Those who took the higher salaries but didn't save their gains in pensions or money are now blaming.us who stayed in work for 40 years.

I've tried out WPS Office, formerly Kingsoft, also use it on Android tablet.
It gives word processor, spreadsheets and presentation, only around 60MB download.
It can be tricky finding the right download, the drawback is the free download seems to alternate between free version and 30 day trial of full version, which then nags. You do end up with the same thing at the end.

The latest version isn't always the best. Especially if you don't use all of the tools on Microsfoft Office that you've already got. Also, the latest version is Microsoft is a spy:

Good deal for those who can get it.

However, as many thousands of NHS employees discovered a while back... If your organisation terminates its agreement with Microsoft then you lose your right to your home use license and you will be told to remove office.

Not sure how enforceable that is though.

Also, cheap though this is (for those who can get it), as usual we have the usual 1/3-1/2 mark-up from from Software companies versus the price in the USA where it's under $10.

:laughing: Ever had one of the pompous pillocks lecture you ? I have several times. In a bar, in a cafe, on the street. When you start asking for where they get their "proof" from, and why does this or that happen then, and various glaringly obvious facts and they either back off snarling some of the usual bull that ends -ist or -phobic (often nothing to do with the subject they attempted to talk DOWN to me about - ie lecture) or start ranting with bulging eyes and drooling spittle. (They're are the considerably dumber types - usually too long since their last fix) I enjoy goading those ones. :wink:

Where do you people dig this garbage up from? Even that article doesn't state Office 2016 is 'spying' on you... it says that the preview version sent telemetry back (which is stated very clearly in the T+C's... it's BETA software...) and hints that the full version MIGHT, and therefore you should use this software, that certainly, no siree, definitely, absolutely doesn't install any other crap you might not want. No. Nope. For sure.

All the Windows and MS spying stuff is balls. All the 'spying' stuff can be turned off, the only other stuff that is sent back is anonymous performance related stuff. If you don't want that, buy the pro version, and set yourself up behind a properly configured firewall.
OR, just, OR, stop fretting and relax. Unless you really ARE a state sponsored terrorist, then worry. I mean, really worry.
I bet most of the people slating MS for this are using Android too...

#irony....

reana

6 Oct 15 #174

The problem is that people don't turn off what's been put in as default e.g on social media, software etc.or bother to adjust their settings...
I know you're going to say that it's people's own fault. However, companies could set the default to OPT OUT of things rather than setting it as giving permission as a default.

This looks like a good deal, but is it just for a subscription or do you get to keep Office 2016 forever, even if you move jobs?

Dodge62

6 Oct 15 #178

Yes, all students are exactly like that. Were they criticising you for making generalisations about groups of people, by any chance?

bilbob

6 Oct 15 #179

The vast majority of the 'spyware' in directly attached to functionality of the product...
It CAN scan messages and email for malicious links and embedded software...
It CAN scan messages and mail for dates to add to your calendar...
It CAN watch what you do and how you search to improve the functionality of Cortana...
All of these features can be turned off, WHILST you install it, you just need to click a word...
As far as I'm aware, the only spying stuff that can't be turned off is the reporting for product performance information.
And if you think that contains pictures of you in your underwear, or MS or anyone else is interested in you musing amongst your mates, then think again. And even If it was, do you honestly believe no one would have found them out by now? Network traffic is NOT invisible, it can be traced and seen.

PhilK

6 Oct 15 #180

Ah ! Attempted sarcasm.

Worth mentioning that a lot of students at universities get this free as part of their university license. Download the trial of Office 2016 then enter university login details for Microsoft Exchange/equivalent to activate.

greenair to moonfruit

6 Oct 15 #184

I would presume this is office 365 university scheme, which means the subscription will come to an end at some point, say after graduation or uni email ceases to work.

Everyone probably has but we don't stupidly go advertising it everywhere.

ShaolinPunk

6 Oct 15 1 #186

Thought this might be helpful - from the FAQ:

"The policy is one license per employee per their selected product version (Office or Mac but not both). If you previously purchased Office 2007 or Office 2010 from the HUP program and you still meet the HUP program eligibility requirements you may purchase Office 2013. If you previously purchased Office for Mac 2011 you must wait until a new Mac version is released before you are eligible to purchase again."

So essentially you can buy 2013 today (only 2 licenses though according to the same FAQ), and possibly 2016 tomorrow...assuming this is valid tomorrow.... Think it's worth a shot :smiley:

No. you can use on 2 PC or Mac. 2 licence per one email registration. You should uninistall previous versions as long as you want to be legal.

rincage

7 Oct 15 #204

If like me you purchased Office 2013 plus Visio 2013 and Project 2013, then this link seems to imply that you can get a free upgrade to Visio and Project to 2016 versions when you buy Office 2016.

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Special-offer-for-customers-with-Office-2016-and-Office-2013-standalone-applications-c32e3cad-e935-4163-a44f-50d896e10bbc?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

The reason being that Project 2013 and Visio 2013 will not co-exist with Office 2016.

This should save £20 if you were intending to upgrade all 3 products from 2013 to 2016.

bilbob

7 Oct 15 #257

Common misconception...
What you can actuallyl do, is buy it, claim it against 'expenses' for the company, but all it actually means at the end is that you don't pay any tax on the amount paid... you still have to pay for it...just out of the company pocket, not the personal pocket...

hobsgrg

7 Oct 15 #259

It is a legitimate tax deductible expense, so when you fill in your tax return you include the cost as part of your expenses. So you'd get 20/40/45% of the cost back depending at what rate you pay tax.

Don't work any more, not retired through age so haven't lived etc. etc. , just disabled and in a wheelchair so the fact I survive on benefits only and can just afford to eat (Yes i do have a PC before the trolls start) I have no work email address and don't have the money to purchase a version without a discount. Shame they can't offer it another way to people but then it is Microsoft!!!

hobsgrg to WheelchairDriver

7 Oct 15 #274

The HUP works the way it does because effectively our Employer is paying for our copy of Office, the £9.95 is just more of an admin charge to allow us to use our work copy of Office at home.

nivagni to WheelchairDriver

7 Oct 15 3 #288

Im sorry your disabled - so am I and lots of other people.... but please stop the whining about not being able to afford Office.... there are much more important things to worry about affording like food, heat rent etc... and there are lots of really good FREE office suites out there that work just aswell as MS Office... if all MS products were free then there would be no updated versions - in fact there would be no Microsoft..

From the HUP page "On how many computers can I install my Office product?
Employees can download and install their Office product on one device." so it works but it isn't supposed to be allowed.

Woo-hoo, I'm done. You can pay via PayPal too, so it's like you hardly even see the cash being spent. Would add more heat if it was possible! Thanks again to OP

If you are installing the Mac version then you need to be aware that 15.14 (including 15.14.1, 15.14.2) has broken SSL support so gmail doesn't currently work. This has supposedly been fixed in the next release which is being pushed out shortly - version will be either 15.14.3 or 15.15.

Brilliant, I purchased the 2013 version a few weeks ago and gave it to my other half as he had just bought a new PC, I have now purchased the 2016 version so will be instaling that one on my laptop. heat added thanks.

Tried to purchase this on my phone, paypal timed out when I paid and now it says I've purchased it but payment hasn't been taken, neither have I received a confirmation email.

Order history says:

"We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.

Your order is currently in a review status"

Can't believe there's no email support, only phone.

It may stick like that forever! Mine did last time and I did eventually get through to a helpline to cancel it so I could re-order. It still shows as under review over a year later though!

You didn't by any chance pay by paypal that is for a different email address to the one you ordered with did you? I think that was my problem.

A bit late for that now. Me thinks.

Yes 2013 has been removed so you can only buy 2016

Anyone know where to get an ISO image of the software? I prefer to have a proper install file rather than rely on being able to always download whenever I reinstall in the future

You can get it here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/#FileId=65535

If you follow the 'buy now' link in the HUP email again you should see an option to buy 'back-up media' - will cost you another £11 to get a copy on DVD - £14 on USB.

cocoguy to rincage

8 Oct 15 #306

Oh! sorry. It was available earlier, I guess. Downloads are no longer possible now that way, I believe.

Anyone been able to get Visio or Project 2016 yet. They'd don't seem to appear as options for me and having tried to get the the 2016 versions using the instructions here, my hour long chat with support got nowhere given my purchase of Office 2016 through HUP. Don't think they had a script to follow.

Instead asking users to pay again - they should just've made the ISO available for download. They used to do this earlier, if I remember correctly.

Interestingly the HUP FAQs have changed from yesterday and you're now only allowed to install the software on one machine.

(Under 'Products, Licenses & Options')
Yesterday (still available in Google Cache):
On how many computers can I install the software?
2 computers, either 2 PCs or 2 Macs, specific to the software that was purchased.

Today:
On how many computers can I install my Office product?
Employees can download and install their Office product on one device.

cocoguy

8 Oct 15 #313

And I think earlier it used to be 5 machines . . .

Its not just that - when 2013 was released, if you had just purchased 2010 - upgrade to 2013 was free. That wasn't the condition this time.

Well - to be fair, when they are handing out Windows 10 for free, they still have to make money somehow :-)

iliko

8 Oct 15 #314

If I was not, I would not get an email from MS which leads to Office 2013 as well.
It is available now anyway.

zog

8 Oct 15 #315

apparently not! As it doesn't explicitly state the HUP programme on the link (or the uk one either) the MS helpdesk wouldn't honour the special offer... :disappointed:

Damn, my work doesn't qualify. Quite surprised about that given the size of the company!

What's the cheapest (legit) way of getting Office 2016 then?

hobsgrg

8 Oct 15 1 #324

You don't need a code, just need an eligible email address (i.e. work for a company that is part of the HUP scheme)

teabags007

That's me out then

You're not eligible, simple as that. Please don't act like you're being discriminated against.

If I just go with the electronic download, I assume I can save a copy onto a USB stick myself rather than paying them for the backup USB. Or are there any restrictions on the download file that prevent this?

Thanks in advance

Very useful. Thanks OP.

There isn't any need to pay for the backup disc or USB flash drive. You can redownload the software from the website and the installer for the Windows version of Office 2016 is tiny so you could always e-mail it to yourself or save it to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.

Rustyk1

9 Oct 15 #332

Just pre-ordered the Surface Pro 4, this will go very nicely with it!

Rustyk1

9 Oct 15 #333

Exactly what I did. Saved a copy of the installer on Google Drive. There is a part of me that worries they will (at some point) take down the install server so the tiny installer will no longer work. But I'm over it.

cocoguy

9 Oct 15 #334

Please note that even with saved copies of the installer that you get from the HUP website, you will not be able to do offline installations.

You have to be online so that the installer can download the required files from the MS servers.

rincage

9 Oct 15 #335

My company only subscribes to HUP for Office. So have no option to buy Visio or Project any longer. Could I find anyone via web chat or telephone that knew about this free offer to upgrade Visio and Project. Did I hell. In the end got a refund on my Office 2016 purchase as no use if I can't run Project and Visio. Very frustrated.

Evening all.
I'm after some help if any one would be so kind to ablige.

I have purchased office 2016 using this scheme and have a product key but I didn't get an email with links to download etc.
I have tried to access Microsoft directly to download it but it says the product key is not valid.

So is there a specific link to follow to down load the software or am I just being a little daft.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

cocoguy

1 Dec 15 1 #363

Just go here and using the email id with which you purchased Office 2016, fill up the form.

You should soon receive an email at your work address, with which you can "login". Once you've logged in, you should be able to click on "Order History" on the upper right corner of the page and see you purchase. Click on the "Order Number" to get an option to download the installer.

cocoguy

1 Dec 15 #364

The installer that you download like this would be a small one. Once you execute this installer, it would then download the relevant binaries from Microsoft servers to complete the installation. So you should be online for the whole time.

K13OllieD

4 Dec 15 1 #365

I never understood this. if your company has office 365 every user is entitled to 5 installs of office 365. you probably only use one install on your desktop and perhaps another on your surface\laptop. this leaves most people with 3 extra Installs to use at home completely free of charge. just login to portal.office.com with your work e-mail address and password to download the Installer. I have licence my home PC, laptop and partners laptop this way. her college also provides 365 to staff so we're covered there as well.

cocoguy

4 Dec 15 #366

That's good to know. However not all offices provide 365 login and hence this.

cocoguy

7 Dec 15 #367

Also - I have one doubt - do you know whether you can continue to use the installed MS Office when you have left the employer?

I am, of course, asking from a technical point of view rather than legal/licensing point of view.

K13OllieD

7 Dec 15 #368

No, as soon as your ex-employer removes the licence from your account your office install will expire... usually within 24 hours.
Each office activation/install is based on a unique key so that they can be easily revoked.

alexharriss951

9 Dec 15 #369

If your uni uses Office 365 for email etc. You can probably download a free copy for use while you're still at uni. Log into your email and go to settings to see if its available for you.

You should just be able to run the installer on the new computer and give the code when asked for.

Is this not possible for you?

Make sure you have internet connection while running the installer.
