    I purchased the Academic version for $79 few months ago. I clean installed my Windows 7 and forgot to bring .exe file for Office back to my dorm.

    I won't be able to go back to home for at least a month and I really need Office to retrieve my exam files.

    Could anyone provide me a legal link to download Office? MS won't let me download the link they sent to me via e-mail when I purchased after 30 days of purchase.

    Thanks!

    Sorry I'm not sure where you can download the office 2010 "legally", but you can always download the office 2010 trial if you need to get your files. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

    Thanks!

    What's the difference between Professional and Professional Plus?

    It looks like the file name is almost (if not same) as the one I have at home, so I think this one should work.

    Office 2010 Professional Plus - Office Professional Plus - Microsoft Office

    As for the difference between Professional and Professional Plus I believe you get 'Infopath' and 'Sharepoint Workspace' with Professional Plus.

    ~Tom~, your link eventually led me to same page as ecoDex so I assume Professional and Professional Plus is equivalent. It just showed me the same trial product key I just created in order to download the .exe file.

    Thank you to both, now I don't have to go back home :)
