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.
