Microsoft has revised the Office 2013 licensing terms,with the new rules allowing the users to transfer the Office 2013 to a different PC once in every 90 Days.
As reported earlier on their Official Blog,based on the customer feedback Microsoft changed the Office 2013 retail license agreement to allow customers to transfer the software from one computer to another.So according to this rule a user can transfer his/her Office 2013 to a different computer if their device fails or they get a new upgraded PC.Previously the transfer was only allowed to a new device if their PC failed under warranty.
This change in the license agreement applies to Office Home and Student 2013,Office Home and Business 2013,Office Professional 2013 and the standalone version of Office 2013.The updated rules are as follows,
Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you, but not more than one time every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you may transfer sooner). If you transfer the software to another computer, that other computer becomes the “licensed computer.” You may also transfer the software (together with the license) to a computer owned by someone else if a) you are the first licensed user of the software and b) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement before the transfer. Any time you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the prior computer and you may not retain any copies.
So if your PC is working weird lately and you want to transfer your Office 2013 to your other PC you can do it once every 90 days or even before the timespan in case of a hardware failure in which case you can transfer it sooner than 90 days.
