That implies that at very least the license can work on two computers and I honestly don't think there's anything magical about the copy and license I purchased even if I did get a student discount (there are perks to remaining a student for life, even alongside working full time!) - certainly the media I received looks like any other copy of Pro Plus and there is no mention of "Super special student offer that magically allows you to run it on two machines at once" though that doesn't of course mean that there aren't regional/license differences - perhaps bundled OEM copies with new machines have the restriction mentioned in TFA rather than retail versions which I presumably received?įurther, the wording "maximum of two at once" almost seems to imply that you can change the machine it's on, just as long as you don't exceed the maximum.īut in my case I was actually pleased to see Microsoft had explicitly decided to authorise you running one copy on multiple machines, if anything this is a step forward - an explicit recognition from Microsoft that people do have multiple machines and expect to not buy a copy per machine, and expect their license to work on multiple computers as mine does. I bought Office 2013 Pro Plus through my university's website and it said it was quite clearly licensed for a maximum of 2 machines at once. I'm not sure how true the summary is tbh. I can't think of anyone better for this job. * Never give up hope, Steve, never give up hope.
But look, what if I try this next: security updates only available to people who have a paid subscription. You know and I know that Windows and the Microsoft ecosystem is an abortion and a disaster, and that we've been striving desperately to get people to leave it for greater and better things - I can't help but remember the excellent work you did with "The Road Ahead" and leaving out the Internet entirely you'd have thought that might have clued them in that we're just hacks - but it's just not working. People liked the whole Office365 subscription thing, after all. No one will be able to ignore the message we're sending now. If your motherboard craps out, well, you'll just have to buy a new license! And now this thing with Office 2013 we're tying it to a single computer. And you tied it to Surface and Windows Phone too!

Then I'm sure you heard about Windows 8 and Metro. No! People complained, but XBox Lives subscriptions are up and game sales are through the roof! Hell, we even canned Bungie and sold more Halo games than ever! we'll put ads all over the thing! There'll be a tiny button in the corner to start the game and everywhere else. The ribbon even had fans! They wanted it extended to other apps! But then I thought. We told everybody it would improve their workflow. Well, we replaced the toolbar in Office with - get this - a ribbon. Some people even liked the Zune software. I mean, we tried our best with Zune - we made it brown even! - but it's no good. The license, obviously, transferred with the Theseus-mouse. Step 5: Screw radiator cap back in place.Ĭlearly, the solution in this situation is similar. Step 4: Remove old Fiat from under radiator cap. Step 3: Lift radiator cap straight up, at least six inches. Step 2: Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise until fully loosed.

In Adam Turner's article (on which the blog post linked in the Slashdot summary is based) Microsoft declares that " If the customer has a system crash, they are allowed to reinstall Office on that same computer." but with the caveat, "No, the customer cannot transfer the license from one PC to another PC." Sounds like I'm allowed to upgrade my computer, and I'm allowed to replace broken parts.I just can't "transfer" the license between PCs. The obvious answer is the Ship of Theseus solution.
