Students, faculty and staff who purchase a qualifying Office 2007 product between March 5 and September 30 can upgrade to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 for a nominal fee. The software must be purchased through the Iowa Educators Consortium (IEC) agreement with JourneyED at http://www.journeyed.com/select. Individuals will be able to use their existing license of Office 2007 to upgrade for the additional price of $9.98 for ESD, $14.98 for physical media.
When Office 2010 is available for upgrade, all qualifying purchasers, including schools, will be notified via e-mail by JourneyEd. At that time, additional detailed instructions will be provided as to how to redeem the upgrade. Why the offer? Microsoft would like to enable graduating students to acquire the rights to their latest version of Office at a special price while they are still eligible.
