Microsoft Office 2007 - OPK Kits For Free (3 Only) via MS OEM Site

Folks, the original Office 2007 Basic, Small Business, Professional, and Home & Student OPK kits that we could get through our suppliers here for less than $10 each are no more. That reduced rate was some sort of introductory offer.

The part number, if you can find it was: 269-11458.

The OPK part number that now has a royalty attached to it is:

• 269-13607 for Canadian English
• 269-13608 for Canadian French.
• Supplier search key words:
• Office 2007 OPK
• Microsoft OEM OPK
• 2007 OPK
• Basic SB Pro OPK

Our suppliers here in Canada have at least a few of the above key words in their descriptions. Part numbers and search terms may vary relative to your particular geographical/language area.

There is one other offer that one can take up via Microsoft's OEM Web site: Order 2007 Microsoft Office OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) Master Kits. Note that if a company is not registered with the OEM site, then one will need to complete the registration process before obtaining the kits.

A company is allowed to order 3 free copies of the kit before being referred to an authorized distributor to purchase the royalty based discs.

For those clients that insist on getting media with their OEM license, they can order a backup media copy from here: Microsoft Office system backup discs for medialless license kits.

NOTE: The client will be required to provide their OEM install key to complete the order for backup media. And, the offer expires 90 days after the purchase of their system or systems.
