Hi
You have to be enrolled in school to get it and they sold it through the
associated college bookstore. The license agreement states that you must be
enrolled and should you stop being enrolled, for whatever reason, you can no
longer use the full student version.
I remember one other person in here stated that they could get it through
their child's high school in their child's name and I assume it must be
registered that way. If the high school student must do homework on the
puter using XP OS, I think they can sell a student version of the XP OS to
the student.
Life is what happens in between plans.
