From what I can find it was an Academic version release. Required you to have documentation to buy.



That was the Amazon link the OP posted. I still find it very odd that it's not listed in the MS Lifecycle pages, when all the other Home and Student/Student Teacher versions are...

I am currently looking at the installation package for MS Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers (Version 2002) It contains 4 programs which are Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. It can be installed on two computers (just like the EULA for Office XP retail) but for educational use only (although the plain language text version of the EULA says it is an OEM product. In the installed version the EULA says what I quoted for the retail.) The package has specific restrictions as to qualifications to use.

Remember that the XP S & T version is the only version that does not qualify for an upgrade to either Office 2003 (when it was offered) or to Office 2007 but S & T for Office 2003 is a qualifying upgrade source for Office 2007. When I read the EULA for Office XP S & T, it specifically states that it can not be used to upgrade to any future product (unless MS produced a upgrade version of S & T which they never have.) That may be the reason for not including it in the lifecycle list.



And if it's an OEM, then that explains why the OP cannot install on a new machine...
