OK to use Microsoft Office Academic Edition?

[Choong Mun]

My wife use the academic edition of microsoft office. She is a counsellor cum
teacher. I am a retired aircraft maintenance engineer. The microsoft office
was installed in our family desk top. Can I use the software when I use the
desk top? For this question I would appreciate an answer from microsoft
itself. Alternatively I would appreciate the Microsoft e-mail address or
web-site,where I can post the question.
Thank you.
warm regards,
Fong Choong Mun.

Your not going to get an answer from MS on this, a peer to peer group,
neither will you likely get any sensible answer from MS other than them
simply quoting the EULA.
But yes you can use it for none commersial use (other than achademic)

My wife works for a school. The license they have allows her to keep a
copy on home PC's as long as she is employed by the school.

But that is her license. You'd have to speak to your wife's IT people
to truely know what she is entitled to and if you are entitled to it.

According to the EULA, even your wife can't use it for non-academic
purposes! Good ole M$......

Note that very last paragraph of the referenced license:
The following software is excluded from the MSDN AA program and may not
be used by you or any of your staff, faculty, or students under these terms:

* Microsoft Office

I suspect there's a separate academic license somewhere that covers MS
Office. I'd ask the school.

Assuming you're asking if you, too, can use the software installed on the
family desktop PC, yes, but you cannot install it on another desktop PC.
