Hello David,
As far as I know, any home or professional (which I presume would include
Business) version of Ms Office from 2007 onwards should entitle you to
Window-Eyes freed version. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. However,
make sure that your Ms Office is properly registered. My computer
technician did the registration for me so I can't tell you the steps.
Good luck.

Subject: MS Office question
Anyone here has any experience, or know the rules?
I am trying to get hold of a copy of MS Office, and thought I might save
a few dollars, on buying one of the former versions. Got some offer
here, for unopened and fully licensed versions, but got confused about
their titles.
One says Home and Student, the other reads Home and Business. Well, I am
neither a student, nor a business owner. But since they both states
Home, will it still be legal for me? Or, was there any other version
that I should look out for?
They are both Office 2010. Anyone knows when Microsoft would end support
for that version, or maybe they have already done so?
Finally, I got one more offer, this time for Office 2019. Would someone
happen to know whether that version is accessible with WinEyes? Guess
NVDA and Jaws are OK with 2019, but would hate to loose WinEyes
functionality.
Allright, I do know of the subscription versions of Office, but I really
don't want that kind of ongoing expenses. Rather pay once, and you know
what you've got. Subscribe, and next month - or next year - Microsoft
decides to change something, and all the sudden you are lost, and have
to spend days in figuring your way around the new features.
Thanks for all feedback, that I can make the most informed decition. And
please, since I am outside North-Americas, I was under the impression
the Microsoft Assistance line would not be available for me. If I am
mistaken, I'd be glad to know.
