Do I have to be teacher to download Office Professional Academic 2010

I bought Office Professional Academic 2010 while teaching at a college. I'm no longer employed there and now need to load it on my home laptop (it has never been loaded at all so far). Can I still do this or do I have to prove I'm a teacher (tough to do if not employed)

Two of my grandchildren have the Student and Teacher version of Office, which they bought while they were at school.

They have now left school, but the licence allows them to carry on using the software. What it doesn't do is let them transfer the licence to anyone else.

Yes.
No

As long as you have the PID you're good.

BTW I have the Office Professional Academic 2010 edition as well and I'm neither teacher or student. My daughter, who is a student, basically traded it to me in exchange for my 2007 copy as she much prefers that version. Why I don't know.
