What are the differences between Office 2010 PKC, FPP, and VL?

Hello,

I am taking a course which says it requires me to have the Microsoft Office 2010 PP version of the software (the class will be using Access); however, I previously had (and still do) the 2010 Home/Student version. I was able to separately acquire Access through my institution at a discounted rate. I am worried that I will still have to buy the PP version for the "various wizards to work properly" as per my syllabus. Is this true, or are all programs (that are included) created equally on all versions? I don't see how the version I have, since it is 2010, will have an effect on the wizards as long as I have all the required programs (i.e. Access, Power Point, and Excel) from the correct year. Any help is appreciated!

Ravi Luchmun, Run scan disk, then if it is still a good hard drive have someone clone the PC hard drive to another hard drive. Then you need to do nothing.

Hi,

I have a branded PC which came with MS Office pre-installed. The office has been activated using a product key card that came with the machine.

Unfortunately, that PC has developed a hardware fault and a new one will be ordered.

Can I still use PKC of the former faulty PC ?

@ Jelle - sure, you can activate it on an existing PC, but it is not legal, so you would waste your money. A reseller should know better than to sell a PKC separately.

To run Remote Desktop Services, you have to VL licensing of Office 2010.

I have had a hard time getting clarity around which versions will run in a Remote Desktop environment. If I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine running RDS for a few users at a school, must I purchase VL or can I get a Home and Business version ?

Hi,

Nice overview but it is not right that PKC can only be activated on new pc's. You can put an image of Office 2010(to be downloaded) on an existing pc as well.

This pc needs certain requirements obviousely, but it is possible to activate PKC on a 'not brand new' pc.

This is the big difference between 2010 and 2007 and also a big advantage.

Regards,

Jelle
