Nope, this is different; the HUP is a program with certain employers
where you can buy a fully licensed copy of Office for $20 or $25 -- you
get a CD, license, and key, and you own the disk. I've used the program
twice (2003 and 2007 ver) and love it.

I remember years ago when people could use officially-licensed software
from
Microsoft.  The restrictions were that the software was normally used as
a
part of regular work and the user was an employee.  I'm sure that all of
the
other conditions you mention applied too.  I think that employers also
needed to be a part of the program, but I'm not sure.  I became familiar
with the program during a couple of contracts, one with the state.
There
wasn't a charge and I don't recall if home users could keep a copy of
the
software.  I think home users just had access to loaner disks and not
their
own copies.
