That's a partner who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Some resellers won't sell add-ons to home users, as they don't make any money off of it through licensing. You will have to hunt around and try several before you find one who is willing to sell you an AP. There's a couple of threads from other Home license users who had to go through this. There's a few resellers that hang out on these boards and one may post a reply offering to help you out.
