Starting with Office 2013, much more so in 2016, MS allows users to have easier and better control of their Office Licenses. It is completely local to the computer.Įnough repeating the bad news, on to the GOOD NEWS! No, uninstall ( STILL!) does not actually talk to the the MS activation system.
I’ll get to the other, “new & improved” way (no sarcasm this time) way in minute. A "dead" computer is one way to meet that requirement. The main point being that you have to make sure that Office installation can no longer be used. Yes, the license terms say you have to uninstall Office to free up the install count. (this is the “better” part than the old way) The new email association is managed through the MyAccount site:
Now the Office license / product key is primarily “associated” with the emailĪccount, instead of the old way of only associating the license with the hardware. Yes, the Office one-time payment Product Key has also been " improved" to be one-time use (this can actually be an improvement, keep reading). Yes, the Office 2016 / 2019 one-time payment license was (dis)" improved" to allow install on only one machine at a time. Way (I was going to say ID-10-Ts, but that is not nice. When it comes to most "activation issues" they are almost always totally incompetent, I mean the definition of the term, not the derogatory Transfer Office 365 / 2019 / 2016 to a new computerĭon’t bother talking to "normal" MS Support about activation errors.
