Thiersee Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Jan, just a couple of hints the user should know about; it refers ONLY to Office 2010 First of all: absolutely no issues on downloading! 1) All the downloads from Tech G are the RTM-version (the contained files are from 2010!), the Academic-version too (Upper Box)! 2) The downloads from the upper-box, H&S, H&B and Personal (Japanese) are all with SP1 (the contained files are from 2011!) BTW, all the download directly from MS with this link Earlier versions of Office are all from Tech G too! May be you can modify the titles in your tool....

Jan Krohn Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Thiersee, Thanks for the research. This information was new to me. I don't think we're at the bottom of it yet. I tried several links in several languages. For Office 2010 H&S Turkish version it is just as you described. However, Office 2010 H&S Thai language version is always including SP1, no matter whether you download from the upper or the lower box. Office 2010 Pro Academic Thai version also includes SP1. The Turkish version gives you the TechG download (without SP1), although the key that unlocks it is clearly an academic key, and not a TechG key. Clearly, the same key sometimes generates download links with SP1, and sometimes without SP1, and I think it depends on the selected language. Highly annoying... I'm not yet sure how to cover this sort of thing in the download descriptions without ambiguities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it will be not easy, if possible at all.... BTW: Thai Academic gives me an error Thai H&S is for me a "mixed" version in the same way as English H&S, only the SP1 files are dated 2011, all other are 2010. All Professional I tried from Tech G are RTM. I downloaded today more than 20 GB to test the files, but now is enough: I got the versions I want (German/Italian, H&B and H&S) and this was for me the major goal.

SnowBall Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The option Office Professional 2010 Academic gives you download link of Office Professional 2010 TechG. I believe that it is a bug or server issue. Regards, SnowBall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Krohn Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It's an Office 2010 Academic key. I had wanted to use it for TechG downloads, but the product ID is different, so it requires a separate entry. Also, as far as I remember, for some language choices it produces retail downloads.
