Microsoft decided to backpeddle on their new license terms for the retail copy of Office 2013. Unlike previous versions, they added verbage to the license agreement that prevented a user from being allowed to transfer the license to another computer – if it failed out of warranty. Customers complained and now read below:
“Based on customer feedback we have changed the Office 2013 retail license agreement to allow customers to move the software from one computer to another. This means customers can transfer Office 2013 to a different computer if their device fails or they get a new one. Previously, customers could only transfer their Office 2013 software to a new device if their PC failed under warranty.
While the licensing agreement text accompanying Office 2013 software will be updated in future releases, this change is effective immediately and applies to Office Home and Student 2013, Office Home and Business 2013, Office Professional 2013 and the standalone Office 2013 applications. With this change, customers can move the software to another computer once every 90 days. These terms are identical to those found in the Office 2010 software.” – Microsoft
