Program allows for home use of office software Published May 7, 2014 By Senior Airman Miles Wilson 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- As part of a new offering from Microsoft, you are now eligible to participate in the Home Use Program (HUP). This program enables any USAF employee with an Email-4-Career (@us.af.mil) e-mail address to get a licensed copy of some Microsoft Office desktop applications to install and use on your home computer. "This allows reservists to work at home, not just at the Unit Training Assembly, and having this kind of asset is a benefit to our members," said Tom Stubbs, Communications Focal Point manager. The current cost is $9.95 for a downloaded copy or, for an additional charge of $12, you can receive a back-up disk. This version of Office Enterprise Edition 2013 includes the newest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook (with Business Contact Manager), Publisher, Access, InfoPath, Lync and the Office Web applications. Mac operating systems are also supported, so be sure to download the correct version. For each product eligible for the HUP, of which you are a licensed user with active Software Assurance coverage, you may order a single copy of that product to install and use on a home computer. You may continue using this software while you are under USAF employment, and as long as the software you use at work has active Software Assurance coverage. "This not only benefits members in their military capacity, buy in their personal lives as well," said Stubbs. To access the Microsoft Home Use Program web site, please follow the steps below: 1. Go to http://hup.microsoft.com 2. Select the country to which you wish your order to be shipped to and choose the language. 3. Enter your Email-4-Career (@us.af.mil) e-mail address and insert the following code C2C2151EDF Note: This program code is assigned to the US Air Force for our sole use in accessing the Microsoft Home use site. You may not share this number with anyone outside of the US Air Force. Taken from originally published material by Tech. Sgt. David Montgomery, 908th Comm
