In the Terms and Conditions that you agreed to when downloading the software installation files or ordering media through this program, it states that "I understand that I am eligible to receive one (1) copy of each product that is covered under the Campus Agreement Student Option. I will not download or order multiple copies of any product provided through the University of Wyoming Campus Agreement."

You are entitled to one (1) download or one (1) set of CDs only (not both) for each software package. Therefore, it is critical that you back up the file(s) that you download and keep them and/or the software CDs in a safe place.

Once you have a backup (or two) of the original downloaded installation file, Microsoft_Office_Pro_2003.exe, and the software has been successfully installed to your computer, you can delete the original installation file from your computer. Additional folders and files, such as the MSOCache folder installed to your computer during an Office 2003 installation, must remain on your computer in order to allow you to get updates and install additional components in the future. Do not move or rename these folders or files.

It is recommended that you uninstall all instances of previous versions of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Works, and individual components installed by the manufacturer including Office, Access, Excel, Entourage, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook, and Word. Failure to do so may cause the UW provided Microsoft product installation to fail.

If you installed Microsoft Office from the download, it is necessary that you uninstall all previous versions of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Works, and/or any individual Office components installed by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may cause the installation to fail or cause errors within the applications, including the prompt for a CD code or product key.

In order to uninstall previous versions of Microsoft Office, click the Start menu button, and click Control Panel; in the Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs; in the Add or Remove Programs window, locate the previous versions of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Works, and/or individual Office applications, and click Remove.

The Windows XP software available through this agreement is an upgrade only. A version of Windows must already be installed to your computer before running Windows XP Professional (upgrade).

NOTE: Windows XP Media Center is not upgradeable to Windows XP Professional. Windows XP Media Center is based on the Windows XP Professional operating system and includes most Windows XP Professional-specific features, such as Remote Desktop and the Encrypting File System; however, Media Center does not have the ability to join an Active Directory domain.

No. You must own and have installed a previous version of Windows. The Windows XP Professional that is offered through this agreement is an upgrade only.

Yes, you should keep your original Windows CDs as well as a backup (or two) of the Windows XP Professional Upgrade file. If your operating system ever becomes corrupt and it is necessary to reinstall Windows XP Professional, you will need both the original Windows version CD and the Windows XP Professional (upgrade) file to complete this task.

If you purchase the software media to install the software from CD, it is necessary for you to activate the software in order to continue to use it. If you download the software from UW, it is not necessary for you to activate the software at this time.

Additional information on product activation can be found on the Microsoft Product Activation (www.microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation) site.

Upon first starting up Windows, a message will appear stating: “This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on.

As outlined in the Terms and Conditions that you agreed to before attaining the software, upon graduation from UW, you will receive a Student Option Graduate Transfer of License Certificate allowing you to continue to use the software you attained through the UW Campus Agreement. You will rightfully own the software at that time.

If you do not graduate from UW, you must remove the software you attained through the UW Campus Agreement once you are no longer attending UW.

Graduating students are eligible to transfer the temporary use license to a perpetual license that will allow them to continue to use the software. This means that graduating students will rightfully own the license of the version of software that they downloaded at no additional cost.

If a student downloads the software from UW servers and is listed by the Office of the Registrar as eligible for graduation, they can receive the Graduate Transfer of License Certificate by visiting https://software.uwyo.edu/gradlicense. Information Technology will e-mail eligible graduating students when the certificate is available. Only eligible graduating students will have access to the secure Web site. Once notification is sent, students will have access to the certificate site for up to one month after graduation. If a student has downloaded software and is eligible for graduation but does not receive notification via e-mail from Information Technology, they may check access to the site a couple of weeks prior to graduation. Graduates are required to print the confirmation of license transfer to keep for their records.
