I’m a Mac guy. Have been since college, when a clunky Windows PC sputtered, overheated, burnt me, and summarily died.
I’ve been impressed by the current slate of Microsoft products. It looks like they’re finally catching up.
But for a corporation as substantial as theirs, it seems they can’t even get their shit straight when it comes to licensing fees.
On the Microsoft Canada website, the company “states quite specifically that both Office 365 Home Premium and Office 2013 client can be installed on up to five PCs or Macs. ‘Office on multiple devices/Install Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs and on select mobile devices.’”
However, the difference between Office 365 and Office 2013 is that “with Office 2013, you only get a license for one PC. More than that, the license is tied to that PC — if your PC dies, for whatever reason, your license expires with it.” The license on Office 2013 clearly states this.
So which is it? And before you’re going to shell out for this software, don’t you have a right to know?
