Upgrade to Office 2010 from Office 2007 now!

TechSoup New Zealand members who have current Software Assurance benefits from the procurement of Office Professional 2007 (Software Assurance lasts 2 years from the date of your order) can now upgrade to Microsoft Office 2010 for free directly from Microsoft through the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). The beta version of Office 2010 has been out for a while.

If you have had little to no previous experience with MAK or KMS activation methods you might require additional information about the activation processes for this new offering. Microsoft has put together some information about the activation methods and provides some very helpful information regarding MAK & KMS activation.
