Office Ready from Microsoft® changes the way Microsoft Office software is distributed and sold into and through resellers and makes it easier for you to sell Office 2007 software with a new Office Ready PC.

At the point of sale, no installation is required by you or your customer, instead you just sell the Medialess Licence Kit (MLK) for the suite that's right for them. You can either sell the MLK at time of purchase or anytime during the 60 day trial.

Learn how your business can take advantage of new ways to close more sales by selling Office Ready PCs.

Resellers selling branded PCs

Many major brands will be offering PCs with the Office Ready trial already pre-installed. However, if you are selling a non-Office ready PC then you can still offer your customer an Office Ready PC by installing the OPK before the PC ships to the customer.

Ensure your customers are taking advantage of the most cost effective way to purchase Microsoft Office - offer and sell it pre-installed with a new PC.

If your customer isn't ready to purchase 2007 Microsoft Office at the time they purchase their new PC, sell them the Office ready PC along with the opportunity to try out Microsoft Office 2007 with a free 60-day trial.
