#MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE 2010 PROFESSIONAL ACTIVATION KEY#
Other, higher-priced editions for corporate and enterprise use include tools for working with SharePoint servers and other collaboration tools.įor the first time, Microsoft doesn't offer upgrade pricing on any Office edition you'll need to buy either a full copy or a "Product Key Card" which gives an activation key (no DVD or packaging) used to unlock a trial version of Office 2010.
Home and small-business users will be most interested in the $279.99 Office Home and Business edition of Office 2010 (which omits Publisher and Access), and the $149.99 Office Home and Student (which omits Publisher, Access, and Outlook) version. I looked at the $499.99 Professional edition of Office 2010, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and OneNote. Three categories of users should regard Office 2010 as an essential upgrade: anyone who creates graphically rich documents and presentations anyone who buys software for a whole corporation (especially if that business relies on collaboration and sharing tools) and anyone in need of the new 64-bit compatibility which enables users to create worksheets even more humongous than 32-bit Excel's 2GB limit. Our Office 2010 review shows that the latest version packs in enough new conveniences and performance tweaks that you'll probably at least want Office 2010-something that hasn't been true of every Office upgrade. As with many revisions of popular applications, one vital question must be asked: Do you need the new version? If you're a home or small-business user of Office 2007 ($399.95 direct, ), the answer is: probably not.
Microsoft has put the final touches on Office 2010, and corporate customers can either buy it via resellers or download a 60-day free trial (via TechNet) as of May 12 (the boxed, retail versions hit shelves in June).
