You will need to buy the full version, works is not an office product.
You need to read the license agreement but my understanding is you can install it on one desktop machine and one laptop.

Generally, the upgrade version is for users who own the program.
I think the student version only has Word and Excel. If you don't have to make Powerpoint presentations, why pay for it. You might be able to install it on one desktop and one laptop - where you own both.
Here is an idea of what is available:

Whatever you do, buy from a reputable dealer where you get the CD and product key. You'll have nothing but trouble if you don't.

you have to have the full version as upgrade requires a previous version
