Ultimate Steal Download After 30days


Question

I recently had to format my PC, not through choice, and lost everything including Microsoft Office 2007. I got it via the Ultimate steal and they only offer download for up to 30 days after purchase. I still have the serial so where would be the place to go and download it again?

thanks

Knowingly partaking in an illegal transfer of copyrighted material is, as one would guess, illegal. If you lose something that you paid for, then you must contact the vendor for legal replacement options. I believe MS offers inexpensive replacement discs.

oh get off your high horse will you....he can simply download the trial version office 2007 ultimate and then validate it with his legit key......your advice is nonsense.....why would you want to spend countless hours trying to fix something that is so simple ?

Not to run it into the ground, but surely the easiest thing to do is contact Microsoft first? That way you know you're getting a legit download or CD and one that matches your serial number. Anything else seems iffy in a legal sense. :rolleyes:

It was my understanding that Microsoft doesn't care if you download the software "legally" or not, as long as you pay for a license.

It's been my understand for quite some time now that microsoft does not allow you to download software from anyone but themselves legal or not. Even trial software has to come directly from their server or a server they licensed distribute it. You can not just go download a office torrent and use your cd key... sounds alright... but they, if they catch you downloading it, will send you an infringement letter and possibly your ISP also to have you disconnected from the internet... they take it more seriously then you may think... just look at autopatcher's fiasco a couple months ago

I highly, highly doubt Microsoft spends resources tracking down Bittorrent seeds like the RIAA. It would be a huge waste of time and money. They spend their resources eliminating piracy via activation and other similar methods. The authors of Autopatcher were notified because they were a large group that was developing Autopatcher. If Autopatcher was a one-man thing, with only 5 people max downloading the software, I don't think Microsoft would have cracked down on it.

As far as being 100% legal, yes, the only way to do it is to download the file from Microsoft's servers.

High horse? Because I have an understanding of basic laws? How about you get off your milk crate, instead.

Ah but Microsoft has repeatedly said you are paying for the license, not the software. Besides, if you paid for the key and it's for personal use MS cannot do a thing about it. An infringement letter and resulting disconnection would be grounds for a lawsuit.

Not really, they could come back and say you where promoting piracy by distribution of the software... they have all kinds of tricks up their sleves

Such an argument would be contrary to their license claims, making them look foolish in court. That also depends on what kind of distribution method you use to get it. Getting it through IRC, directconnect or a newsgroup would not amount to distribution, only downloading.

Couldn't be more wrong, it is illegal to obtain the software anywhere but from Microsoft.

Yep, that the telephone activation always work. Just remember you can punch the numbers in with the keypad on the phone to. You don't have to speak them all.

No offence guys but I like twice had problems with legit software from MS. First thing I did was ring them up. They sorted it straight away both times, end of problem. For the rubbish they put their legit users through, they do actually want the software to work for them. :D

I think the only legal thing really is to contact Microsoft and get replacement media or a download link they give you (if they will do that). :yes:

This is the best option. :) Contact Microsoft Fulfillment if that site sold it via Academic Licensing, or you can try this Knowledge Base article on replacing your Office media: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302822

You dont have to speak to them? whenever i have done it before with operating systems they speak to me and ask me why i need to reactivate before supplying me with a number to type in.

Anyway i e-mailed Microsoft and this is this is the response i got (i replied asking whether i would be given the same serial because in which case i'll just phone them up)

This is an update so that anyone having the same problem and comes accross this post knows what to do.

You can download your copy of Office Ultimate 2007 via the Ultimate Steals websites trial ultimate edition which can be found here https://store.digitalriver.com/servlet/Cont...p;SiteID=msshuk Note: you will have to login first.

Once you have downloaded the trial edition it will prompt for your serial number, if you have lost that you can also find that through the link i just posted.

If like me you e-mail Microsoft they will try to get you to buy a backup DVD (see above) despite the fact you can download it for free.

The problem with downloading software that you own a licence to is that you also upload it to people that do not, making it illegal. However, if you own a legitimate licence I would say that it is fair to aquire the software by any means because you can demonstrate to Microsoft if questioned that you own it - although not stictly legal, like backing up CDs, it is fair use with no malicious intent.

You would only be uploading if you use a torrent though, rather than other ways of filesharing.

Is it "illegal" to download it off a torrent? Yes. Is it immoral? NO. You legally own the license! I fail to understand why some people go like "OH MY GOD DON'T DO IT, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SUED BY MICROSOFT, YOU THIEF, PIRATE". Just use your common sense, download the damn thing and be done with it. Jesus :D

I found a far simplier way. Go to http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/...ft-Office.shtml and download the Office trial. When it asks for a key, just use the one from the ultimate steal.

It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
    • At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
    • So size is the ONLY selling point????? People have been plugging in PC's to TV's in living rooms for 20+ years. I would take a bigger box for more peformance. Also lot and lots of SFF/Mini ITX build guides out there.
    • My point is, if you buying this instead of a console for TV purposes, that you need to understand that you will not be able to play the most popular MP games with Steam OS. Now if you are not into those games, and into some of the perputual alpha/beta games on Steam then this is an option. I would argue a gaming PC would be the better route, more expensive but take the 1k -1.4k you are about to spend on this thing and build a better one. Because it is running Linux you can overide its 1080p settings. However The Verge complained about its 1080p cap and how you would have to get around it at the CLI, so someone buying this instead of a PS5 or Xbox might have a challege on their hands.
