To install Office 2007

In order to install Office 2007, you must agree to comply with the terms of  the Microsoft Software License Terms and the Texas State Software Code of Ethics as listed below:

Microsoft Software License Terms
MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
2007 MICROSOFT OFFICE SYSTEM DESKTOP APPLICATION SOFTWARE
 
MEDIA-LESS LICENSE KIT TERMS
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or
based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you.  Please read
them.  They apply to the software that accompanies these license terms,
which includes the media on which you received it, if any.  The terms
also apply to any Microsoft
· updates,
· supplements,
· Internet-based services, and
· support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items.  If so,
those terms apply.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE LICENSE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE. 
INSTEAD, RETURN YOUR MEDIA-LESS LICENSE KIT TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR
A REFUND OR CREDIT.  
If you cannot obtain a refund there, contact Microsoft or the Microsoft
affiliate serving your country for information about Microsoft’s refund
policies.  See www.microsoft.com/worldwide.  In the United States and
Canada, call (800) MICROSOFT or see www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, USING THE SOFTWARE ALSO OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO
THE TRANSMISSION OF CERTAIN COMPUTER INFORMATION DURING ACTIVATION,
VALIDATION AND FOR INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR
EACH LICENSE YOU ACQUIRE.
1. OVERVIEW.  These license terms permit installation and use of one
copy of the software on one device, along with other rights, all as
described below.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.  The software license is permanently
assigned to the device with which you acquired the software.  That device
is the “licensed device.”  A hardware partition or blade is considered to
be a separate device.  
a. Licensed Device.  You may install and use one copy of the software
on the licensed device.
b. Separation of Components.  The components of the software are
licensed as a single unit.  You may not separate the components and
install them on different devices.
3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.
a. Remote Access. The single primary user of the licensed device may
access and use the software installed on the licensed device remotely
from any other device.  You may allow other users to access the software
to provide you with support services.  You do not need additional
licenses for this access.  No other person may use the software under the
same license at the same time for any other purpose.
b. Media Elements and Templates.  You may copy and use images, clip
art, animations, sounds, music, shapes, video clips and templates
provided with the software and identified for such use in documents and
projects that you create.  You may distribute those documents and
projects non-commercially.  If you wish to use these media elements or
templates for any other purpose, go to www.microsoft.com/permission to
learn whether that use is allowed.
c. Font Components. While the software is running, you may use its
fonts to display and print content. You may only
embed fonts in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions in the
fonts; and
temporarily download them to a printer or other output device to help
print content.
d. Multiplexing.  Hardware or software you use to
· pool connections, or
· reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use
the software
(sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce
the number of licenses you need.
e. Trial and Conversion.  Some or all of the software may be licensed
on a trial basis.  Your rights to use trial software are limited to the
trial period.  The trial software and length of the trial period are set
forth during the activation process.  You may have the option to convert
your trial rights to subscription or perpetual rights.  Conversion
options will be presented to you at the expiration of your trial period. 
After the expiration of any trial period without conversion, most
features of the trial software will stop running.  At that time you can
continue to open, view and print any documents you created with the trial
software.
f. Subscription Software.  If you licensed the software on a
subscription basis, your rights to use the software are limited to the
subscription period.  You may have the option to extend your subscription
or convert to a perpetual license.  If you extend your subscription, you
may continue using the software until the end of your extended
subscription period.  See the software activation screens or other
accompanying materials for subscription details.  After the expiration of
your subscription, most features of the software will stop running.  At
that time you can continue to open, view and print any documents you
created with the software.
g. Pre-Activation. If you acquired an edition other than Microsoft
Office Ultimate 2007, some functionality is licensed for your use only
until you activate the software or the end of the time recommended for
activation, whichever comes first.  
h. Home Use Rights Edition.  If you licensed a Home Use Rights
edition, the licensed device must be used primarily within your home.
i. Development Tools.  The software may contain Microsoft Visual
Studio Tools for Applications or other development tools.  You may use
any development tools included in the software only to design, develop,
test, use and demonstrate your programs with the software.
j. Language Version Selection.  If you are provided with a one-time
selection between language versions, without a MLP or LIP, you may use
only the one language version you select.  If you are provided with a MLP
or LIP, your use of language versions is not limited.  A “MLP” is a
Multi-language Pack.  A “LIP” is a Language Interface Pack. MLPs and LIPs
offer additional language version support of the software. The MLP and
LIP are a part of the software, and may not be used separately.
4. MANDATORY ACTIVATION.  Activation associates the use of the
software with a specific device. During activation, the software will
send information about the software and the device to Microsoft. This
information includes the version, the license version, language and the
product ID of the software, Internet protocol address of the device and
information derived from the hardware configuration.  For more
information, see www.microsoft.com/piracy/activation.mspx.   BY USING THE
SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION.  After the
time recommended for activation expires, your rights to use the software
will be limited until the software is activated.  This is to prevent its
unlicensed use.  You can activate the software by Internet or telephone;
Internet and telephone service charges may apply.  Some changes to your
computer components or the software may require you to reactivate the
software.  THE SOFTWARE WILL REMIND YOU TO ACTIVATE UNTIL YOU DO.
5. VALIDATION.
a. The software will from time to time update or require download of
the validation feature of the software.  Validation verifies that the
software has been activated and is properly licensed.  Validation also
permits you to use certain features of the software or to obtain
additional benefits. For more information, see
www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/WhyValidate.aspx.
b. During a validation check, the software will send information about
the software to Microsoft. This information includes the version of the
software and the product key.  Microsoft does not use the information to
identify or contact you.  BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE
TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION.  For more information, see
www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/PrivacyInfo.aspx. 
c. If the software is not properly licensed, the functionality of the
software may be affected.  For example, you may need to reactivate the
software, or receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the
software, or not obtain certain updates, upgrades or services from
Microsoft.
d. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software from
Microsoft or authorized sources.  For more information on obtaining
updates from authorized sources, see
www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/faq.aspx.
6. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.  Microsoft provides Internet-based
services with the software.  Except as otherwise noted in materials
accompanying a service, it may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services.  The software features
described below connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems
over the Internet.  In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice
when they connect.  Unless otherwise noted, you may switch off these
features or not use them.  For more information about these features, see
www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010986541033.aspx.  BY USING THESE
FEATURES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION.  Microsoft
does not use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information.  The following features use Internet protocols,
which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your
Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name
and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the
device where you installed the software.  Microsoft uses this information
to make the Internet-based services available to you.
· Web Content Features.  Features in the software can retrieve
related content from Microsoft and provide it to you.  Examples of these
features are clip art, templates, online training, online assistance and
Appshelp.  You may choose not to use these web content features.
· Digital Certificates.  The software uses digital certificates. 
These digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users sending
X.509 standard encrypted information.  They also can be used to digitally
sign files and macros to verify the integrity and origin of the file
contents.  The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate
revocation lists using the Internet, when available.
· Information Rights Management.  The software contains a feature
that allows you to create content that cannot be printed, copied or sent
to others without your permission. You may need to connect to Microsoft
to use this feature for the first time. Once a year, you may need to re-
connect to Microsoft to update it. For more information, go to
www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010397891033.aspx.  You may
choose not to use this feature.
Groove Software and Services. If the software includes Microsoft Office
Groove (“Groove”), Groove will allow you to communicate directly with
others over the Internet. If you are not on the Internet, your
communications will be encrypted and sent through Microsoft servers for
later delivery.  You can not disable this service. Groove makes some
information about your Groove account and computer known to your
contacts.  For example, if you:
· add a contact to your contact list,
· import your user account onto a new device,
· update the information in your “identity contact”, or
· send a Groove workspace invitation using an URL to reference the
invitation file,
information about you and your devices may be sent to your contacts.  If
you configure Groove to use Microsoft servers, those servers will collect
information about your computers and user accounts.
See the Microsoft Office Groove 2007 Privacy Statement at
www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101153391033.aspx for more
information.
b. Misuse of Internet-based Services.  You may not use these services
in any way that could harm them or impair anyone else’s use of them.  You
may not use the services to try to gain unauthorized access to any
service, data, account or network by any means.
7. SCOPE OF LICENSE.  The software is licensed, not sold. This
agreement only gives you some rights to use the software.  Microsoft and
if applicable your manufacturer, reserve all other rights.  Unless
applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use
the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement.  In doing so,
you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only
allow you to use it in certain ways.  For more information, see
www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights.  You may not:
· work around any technical limitations in the software;
· reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and
only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this
limitation;
· make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement
or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
· publish the software for others to copy;
· use the software in any way that is against the law;
· rent, lease or lend the software; or
· use the software for commercial software hosting services.
8. BACKUP COPY.  You may make one backup copy of the media.  You may
use it only to reinstall the software.
9. DOCUMENTATION.  Any person that has valid access to your computer
or internal network may copy and use the documentation for your internal,
reference purposes.
10. NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE.  You may not sell software marked as “NFR”
or “Not for Resale.”
11. ACADEMIC EDITION SOFTWARE.  You must be a “Qualified Educational
User” to use software marked as “Academic Edition” or “AE.”   If you do
not know whether you are a Qualified Educational User, visit
www.microsoft.com/education or contact the Microsoft affiliate serving
your country.
12. HOME USE RIGHTS SOFTWARE.  You must be a “Home Use Rights User” to
use software marked as “Home Use Rights Edition.”  To be a Home Use
Rights User, you must be both:
· an employee of an organization that has a Microsoft Volume License
agreement with Software Assurance, and
· the user of a licensed copy of the software, or a product that
includes the software, with active Software Assurance.  
13. UPGRADE OR CONVERSION.  To upgrade or convert software, you must
first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade or
conversion.  Upon upgrade or conversion, this agreement takes the place
of the agreement for the software you upgraded or converted from.  After
you upgrade or convert, you may no longer use the earlier version of the
software you upgraded or converted from.
14. PROOF OF LICENSE. 
a. Genuine Proof of License.   If you acquired the software on a disc
or other media, a genuine Microsoft proof of license label with a genuine
copy of the software identifies software licensed under the terms of this
agreement. To be valid, this label must appear on Microsoft packaging. 
If you receive the label separately, it is invalid. You should keep the
packaging that has the label on it to prove that you are licensed to use
the software.  If you acquire the software without a disc or other media,
your proof of purchase and any accompanying collateral from your merchant
identifying the software is your proof of license. Proof of purchase may
be subject to verification by your merchant’s records.
b.   Upgrade or Conversion License.  If you upgrade or convert the
software, your proof of license is identified by
· the genuine Microsoft proof of license for the software you
upgraded or converted from; and 
· proof of purchase and any accompanying collateral from a merchant
identifying the software you upgraded or converted to. Proof of purchase
may be subject to verification by your merchant’s records.
c. To identify genuine Microsoft software, see www.howtotell.com.
15. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY.  You may transfer the software directly
to a third party only with the licensed device.  You may not retain any
copies.  Before any permitted transfer, the other party must agree that
this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software.  The
transfer must include the proof of license.   If the software is an
upgrade, any transfer must also include all prior versions of the
software.
16. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS.  The software is subject to United States
export laws and regulations.  You must comply with all domestic and
international export laws and regulations that apply to the software. 
These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use. 
For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.
17. SUPPORT SERVICES.  Microsoft provides support services for the
software as described at
www.support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx.
18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This agreement (including the warranty below),
any addendum or amendment included with the software, and the terms for
supplements, updates, Internet-based services and support services that
you use, are the entire agreement for the software and support services.
19. APPLICABLE LAW.
a. United States.  If you acquired the software in the United States,
Washington state law governs the interpretation of this agreement and
applies to claims for breach of it, regardless of conflict of laws
principles.  The laws of the state where you live govern all other
claims, including claims under state consumer protection laws, unfair
competition laws, and in tort.
b. Outside the United States.  If you acquired the software in any
other country, the laws of that country apply.
20. LEGAL EFFECT.  This agreement describes certain legal rights.  You
may have other rights under the laws of your state or country.  You may
also have rights with respect to the party from whom you acquired the
software.  This agreement does not change your rights under the laws of
your state or country if the laws of your state or country do not permit
it to do so.
21. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES.  YOU CAN RECOVER FROM
MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID
FOR THE SOFTWARE. YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING
CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
This limitation applies to
· anything related to the software, services, content (including
code) on third party Internet sites, or third party programs; and
· claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or
condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
It also applies even if
· repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully
compensate you for any losses; or
· Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the
damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.  They also may not apply to you because your country may not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other
damages.
