<p>Microsoft changed the licensing terms for various SKUs of Microsoft Office 2013 for Windows, allowing customers to transfer the software from one computer to another. The policy was that customers could install Office on one computer. Period. This policy reversal was communicated in a recent blog post By Jevon Fark on Microsoft's Office News blog. He said that the overwhelming number of complaints caused the change. However, nothing about the Mac versions appeared in the comparable Office: mac blog.</p><p>However, a recent report posted on MacTech said that this same policy will now apply to Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Office Home and Student 2013, Office Home and Business 2013, and Office Professional 2013 as well as standalone applications purchased through retail stores and resellers.</p><p>Customers can now transfer their license and activate it on a new or different computer as many times as they want but not more than once every 90 days. In the event of a computer failure within 90-day period, the customer should call Microsoft customer support. Also, Office can be reinstalled on the same computer, as needed.</p><p>To transfer a Office license to a new computer, you must uninstall the license from your original computer and then reinstall it on your new computer using the same set-up instructions. This includes both Mac and Windows versions of Office. The original owner can transfer the license to someone else either with a computer or by itself.</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/report-microsoft-changes-licensing-for-mac-office-7000012379/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505143_162-57573509/microsoft-softens-its-office-licensing-policy/">Microsoft softens its Office licensing policy</a> (CBS Moneywatch)</p><p><a href="http://www.technologytell.com/apple/113449/attention-apple-it-staff-office-for-mac-accreditation/">MacTech BootCamp II offering Office for Mac Accreditation</a> (TechnologyTell (blog))</p><p><a href="http://www.timesofoman.com/News/Article-10624.aspx">For now and forever</a> (Times of Oman)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dl2L4oxzUrhXdgM_PCLoMRrrN4fZM&ned=us">7 additional articles.</a></p>
