Microsoft Restores Transfer Rights To Office 2013 130
New submitter gewalker writes "Bowing to significant unfriendly customer feedback regarding its new 'no transfer' license for Office 2013, Microsoft has reconsidered and will now allow Office 2013 licenses to be transferred between computers. Actual license language will not be reflected for a few months for shipped products, but Microsoft will allow transfer of license effective immediately. Calls to customer support will be necessary, as the activation servers won't be updated for a few months."

Or in my case the serial number provided by Asus on the laptop doesn't work, so you end up on the phone with Microsoft for 1/2 hour trying to convince some guy that you're just install a new hard drive. And he says the license is not transferable onto the new hard drive. Then you say it's a laptop, it's the same laptop, the drive failed so I put in a new drive. Finally, after talking to his supervisor he gives you a code. Then you're kinda of done except for the hours of updates to follow a clean install.
