    I think it is very hard to download. I have had to enter the passcode several times. So be sure you don't throw away the card.

    Sorry I bought Office 365 instead of Microsoft Office. Programs seem slow to open and too many useless extras.

    Tried to install and showed error. Called number on card and was told had virus and asked for money. Hung up and called local store. Said was scam. Took laptop into store to get installed and system is still not operational. Should have bought computer with Office already installed.

    I don't like paying every month when you can own the software. I have the software already on my computer and can use it when ever I want. So many companies want you to pay them a monthly service instead of a one time payment to have the software, Some times that's good if you need a lot of help using it. Otherwise it's a waste of money.

    The product it self is great but it's a shame that you pay $50 for one year use and you have to keep paying to use it .

    I entered everything from my card and it should have loaded but did not. I did not realize that since I left to go away for a couple of weeks. Got back and tried to load again. No luck. Soon after that everything in my house got moved around and now I cannot find the card. Money down the drain. I do know how to do this and have done this successfully many times over. I am so annoyed.

    I worked for a computer company for 35 years and I have loaded and set up so much software I couldn't even count. THIS SOFTWARE WAS A NIGHTMARE! It took hours of trying to download the software over some 5 days. Repeating screens, non-recognition of entries, and failed attempts consumed my valuable time. I have yet to even try to use the product which I fervently wish I had never bought.

    half of the time when i boot up my laptop, the screen lighting is stuck on the dimmest setting. I can hardly read anything it is so dark. Geeksquad advised to reboot and hold down the brightness+ key while booting up. This usually works but I cannot change or adjust the setting.
