Hahaha yeah, sorry it is Pro not ProPlus.From what I read a while back, I think you're talking about Office Professional -- which IS available for retail purchase.UnderJonathan; said:I think the PROPlus is available for everyone as long as they pay $499.99 for it. I have this version, however, my mom works for an insurance company so, she got a copy for free. Which means I could be wrong.
I thought I read the ProPlus was only available in a volume license version, and thus, was only provided to businesses -- for their further distribution.
And, from what I've seen, ProPlus (often called Enterprise or Corporate) is THE version that is made available through Warez sites and streaming services.
We have two versions of ProPlus at home, and in BOTH cases, these were obtained through our different employers as versions they provided to their employees. And ... in BOTH cases, we each were provided a SERIAL NUMBER to use to activate our version. In NEITHER case, were we provided a KM service utility to run ourselves.
So, once again, when someone has their OWN copy of ProPlus, and they're messing around with getting their OWN KM service running, that is almost certainly an illicit version of Office 2010.
