Help...please. I found this on ebay. The price is affordable. It would be for NON commercial use. What is the difference between teh Academic version vs. retail version. I would really appreciate any help on this. 2 hours of searching has given me limited results. One is that it cant be used commercially...no problem there. Then there seems to be a question of whether it is elligible for upgrades. Thanks for all your help. Paula
Academic is for students, faculty, and employees of qualified secondary educational institutions. Of course the price is reasonable - they aren't supposed to be selling it. I remember hearing that academic licenses are not eligible for upgrades but I can't find proof of this. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Paula Anne 621" <Paula Anne 621@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6167953A-C015-48C0-B367-8331DD6737A9@microsoft.com... > Help...please. > I found this on ebay.
