Home Use Program

In partnership with Microsoft, Aberdeenshire Council have negotiated a new employee benefit which enables those with home computers running either Windows 7 or Windows 8 (or Apple Macs with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 - Mavericks 10.9) to buy a licensed copy of the newest version of Microsoft Office for the price of:

This offer, known as the "Microsoft Home Use Program" or HUP enables you to order one licence (for either Windows or Mac) and download the software for installation on up to 2 home computers. A DVD (back-up) copy can be purchased as an optional extra on top of the download offer price.

As an Aberdeenshire Council employee/elected member you may continue to use this HUP software for as long as the Council continues to have active 'software assurance coverage' and you remain an employee or councillor of Aberdeenshire Council. This HUP will initially run for 2 years until March 2016 at which point it will be reviewed.

All purchases are between yourself and the Microsoft partner 'Digital River'. The ICT Service Desk are unable to assist in relation to this and all support for this product is via Digital River's customer support.

What happens if Aberdeenshire Council do not renew the HUP in 2016?

Aberdeenshire Council will review their approach to HUP licensing in 2016. There can be no firm guarantee that there will be a new subscription to an agreement which provides the Home Use Program as a benefit after March 2016. If the Home Use Program is not available after 25th March 2016 you will no longer be entitled to use the products you purchased under the Home Use Program. This may mean that Microsoft may revoke your license to use and the software may not work without re-entering a valid license key. In this scenario Aberdeenshire Council would not refund any individual's costs incurred when buying this software.

Office 2011 for Macs is available for purchase via this HUP.
