Most Helpful Customer Reviews   27 of 35 people found the following review helpful: Its a Student License, 30 Jul 2005 By  "alexis_books_and_cds" - See all my reviews This is exactly the same product Microsoft have been selling since Office 97/Windows 95 student licenses, they've changed the name to Student/Teacher License because they allow teachers to buy the licenses too now. It's the license for home use by any student or teacher, you used to have to get a form signed by your teacher to say you were a student.
