product title says "basic edition" but description says full pro (enterprise edition). i'm completely confused about this link...

I dunno if I'd trust that... in this instance 'Enterprise Edition' is probably not referring to the version of Office, but rather the licensing model. An MS Enterprise license is typically only sold in very large bulk (like hundreds or thousands of licenses at a time) and it's licensed for a time period, typically one to three years.

You'd probably be better off buying an OEM license from ebay.

licensed for a time period? you mean after that time period i can't use the software anymore?

[Jeffbx]

Right. I doubt these are legitimate licenses since an enterprise agreement is usually for a set time period. Not to say that your software will stop working, but you just won't be legally entitled to use it after this time.
