This news was posted a month ago tomorrow, but why does the EULA posted on Microsoft's web site still say that the license is NOT transferable? See: office.microsoft.com/.../microsoft-software-license-agreement-FX103576343.aspx.

So being able to use Office Home & Student 2013 for 5 years on 3 pc's would cost me $420 instead of $140 in retail and $495 in Office 365 plan. I'm sorry but for non-commercial use this is still no deal for me.

So how is the transfer done? I need this right now. A client ordered Office 2013 and installed it, only to find that it was not supported by his Exchange Server. I happen to need Office 2013 for my own use, so if he can transfer it to me, we will both be happy.

When should we expect the change to be updated on the Microsoft Software License Agreement? The only one I can see is the blogs.office.com/.../office-2013-retail-license-agreement-now-transferable.aspx which doesn't show your above changes to the Retail section of the agreement?

I have 2007 and 2010 Professional. I would think twice before I will pay twice...for my desktop & laptop.

MS losing potential loyalty.

I can see some advantage to renting the software for a fee - "free" upgrades when new features are added to the cloud versions of the software, and the ability to work on office products over multiple devices... But that isn't for me. I had that ability when I purchased the physical copies of Office 2007 - One install on my laptop and one for my desktop.

I want to control who has access to my products - not have the chance that because I've created something using the "rental" software that Microsoft now has ownership of it...

I suspect the answer is "no" but does "the standalone Office 2013 applications" include Project 2013? microsoft.com/useterms seems to suggest the retail PKC versions are still tied to the first installed PC, is that right?

That was some pretty shady stuff. I was questioning moving our organization to Google docs and this was the nail in the coffin. Your server licensing for Server 2012 and System Center 2012 completely screws small and medium companies and prices your self out of that market. Do i HAVE to use MS products....no...I just feel your loyalty lies with the big organizations with bottomless pockets and you screw the small business. Shame on you MS...

I use Office 2007 now and want to use the new 2013 Office. I need Office Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Publisher. I am self-employed and use my desktop, my laptop, my convertible notebook and my smartphone for both: business and private use. I have a partner who will use Office 2013 for private purposes on a laptop and a smartphone. So please tell me how to license best not to get into any legal trouble. Tnank you.
