Microsoft Military HUP Code Doesn’t Work – What Next?
Any ideas for how to get around this. I have called Tech Support at Microsoft Office and they keep telling me to get your IT guy to fix this. Several of my buddies who actually handle tech support calls for this specific products tell me that the higher ups at Microsoft are still trying to figure this out. Basically they’re having a hard time getting around the their e-mails having blocked/disabled links. Apparently this is done by the military’s I.T. Although, I probably know the answer to my question.
In fact, there is a good chance you use it in your daily work activities. Current military members (active and Guard/Reserve) and their family members are eligible to save 30% on Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions. Thanks for all the hard work Spencer.

Hello Robert, I’m not sure if you can apply this retroactively – you would need to contact Microsoft’s customer support. However, I would think they could prorate the discount going forward, or possibly apply it to your account if you have it on auto-renew.

You can contact MIS CIO Jeff Hazelbaker and he will verify only MR/MF employees on the HQ server (i.e. everyone except Okinawa) are eligible. He suggests you purchase it through the AAFES exchange at the higher price. It’s how you’re validated for qualifying to HUP or not.

So you can still receive a 10% discount on Office 365 even if you are no longer currently serving in the military. Home Use Program products are not tied to the program code.
They should be able to help you out. Go through chat if you don’t want long hold times. See the posted instructions in the article above. My advice to everyone is if Microsoft technical support tells you to contact your I.T. Department is to demand for a manager and to have your case elevated to higher level of support.
