Students may purchase software under the Student Select Program at the SFSU Bookstore.
The Windows Operating System will install on one computer an unlimited amount of times (if the PC were to crash, you can reinstall the software). Office can be installed on two computers - a desktop and a portable device.
When the software is installed, you will be required to register the product with Microsoft or the product will not install. The registration will take the Key Code of the CD-Rom and a Serial number from the computer(s) and store them in a Microsoft Database, as long as these two numbers match, the CD-Rom will keep installing on that computer(s).
