Staff and faculty can purchase one copy of Office 2008 for Mac through the Select program.

Activation
Office 2008 for Mac does not require a separate key code for activation (the key code is already embedded in the software).

Work At Home (WAH) Rights – MCCA and Select
Staff and faculty in departments licensed via the MCCA and Select program have Microsoft Work-At-Home (WAH) rights, through which they may install Office 2008 for work purposes only on personal computers. Licensed staff and faculty members are entitled to one WAH license per product.

Please note that physical media may not be purchased to enable WAH rights through the MCCA because the agreement specifies that all software must be delivered electronically for tax purposes.

Staff and faculty who wish to take advantage of WAH rights should contact their departments. To utilize WAH rights, departments have three options to install the software:

1. Departments may install the software directly onto staff and faculty personal computers. Office 2008 does not require a key code, and the software may be downloaded from http://download.ucdavis.edu by technical support staff.
2. Departments may duplicate and distribute the media to staff and faculty.
3. Desktop Enterprise Solutions, a unit within IET that provides computer and network consulting services, can install the software on staff and faculty machines on a fee basis.
