I made the decision not to use 2010 myself without trying it. I only later read the claim that it wouldn't work. I guess the claim was wrong. Perhaps it was really only a recommendation that someone took as gospel.

This thread is partly correct, but not completely. I think this applies to the single computer license, not the five computer annual license that MS added for Office 2013.
I had a free upgrade to Office 2013 and chose the option to install Office on any five computers for $99 per year. This includes word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access and OneNote. Computers can be Mac or PC. You also have access to the latest version of Office. I have already had to remove it from one computer during an upgrade. I went to the MS website that tracks Office licenses, logged in, and removed it from that computer. Prior to that, I had it installed on three boxes, and had two available. After disabling it on the old computer, I had three licenses available. Then I installed Office 2013 on the replacement computer and was back to two licenses available. This was done entirely online with no calls to Microsoft. |

Economic incentive. . .

I'm not defending Microsoft. As I've said elsewhere, I think their business model is coming to its economic end of life. But registration security is something their system covers reasonably well. |

Not any more...
Microsoft reverses course, says Office 2013 licenses can now be transferred to new PCs http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/06/m...-transferable/ |

Without exception, they: 1. Got it cheap or free though work or school. 2. Got it included with a PC 3. Pirated it. If more people actually had to pay retail, Open Office and LibreOffice would likely be two of the most popular pieces of software in the Windows universe. |

New? Just out the box? Not too old but different. Pretty damn old and different? Rebuilt enough to be different -- maybe? Where are the lawyers when you need them whether you want them or not. |
