If retail and OEM copies now have exactly the same licensing agreement, have retail rights have been downgraded to OEM rights or OEM rights been upgraded to full retail rights? The new wording doesn't actually use the phrase 'the software license is permanently assigned to the device with which the software is distributed', like the old OEM license did. Before the transfer, that party must agree that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software. You may transfer the software directly to a third party only as installed on the licensed computer, with the Certificate of Authenticity label and this agreement. Meanwhile new copies of Office 2013 state the same licensing details for both retail and OEM copies Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may not transfer the software to another computer or user. You may not separate the components and install them on different devices. The components of the software are licensed as a single unit. You may only use one copy of the software on the licensed device at a time. The software license is permanently assigned to the device with which the software is distributed. While the Office 2010 OEM license states Ī. You may install another copy of the software on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.

You may install one copy of the software on one device. The Office 2010 retail license agreement states Ī. If you read the fine print, the licensing conditions have clearly changed between Office 2010 and Office 2013.
