To pay extra to be able to install on a laptop is nonsense," chimed in someone labeled as Jonathan.īoth Art and Jonathan were likely referring to the price difference between the two versions of Office for Mac Home and Business 2011.

"There are other ways to improve compliance rates that don't treat your legitimate users like felons," groused Jon Alper in a comment added to a story on activation published last week by the new site.

Others were also up in arms over Office for Mac's product activation and its enforcement of the suite's more limited EULA. "It feels like Microsoft is penalizing those who own multiple Macs simple because they own multiple Macs." "To fully license my five-Mac household - even though I'm the only user of Office - I'm looking at either $298 for two copies of the three-install Home and Student versions, or (gasp!) $757 for the Home and Office version (a single-install version at $199, and two two-install versions at $279 each)," wrote Griffiths.

Office for Mac 2011, however, switched to a single activation code and to an install-based licensing plan, effectively halving the number of Macs on which a customer can install the program.

The EULA for the $150 Office for Mac Home and Student 2008, for example, granted the user three licenses, each accompanied by a separate serial number. The company has also scaled back the number of Macs on which a customer can legally install Office, and uses activation to keep people from violating the terms of the software's end-user licensing agreement (EULA).

Microsoft debuted Office activation in 2001 with Office XP, but this is the first time it has added the technology to the Mac productivity suite. During the activation process, Microsoft also collects other information, including the Mac's IP (Internet protocol) address and the default language of the operating system. Users have often scoffed at that explanation.Īccording to Microsoft, the goal of the anti-piracy technology is reduce "casual copying" by tying the software to a specific Mac's hardware configuration. Microsoft has aggressively promoted product activation by arguing that it's one way customers are assured they've purchased genuine software. "Microsoft Product Activation tries to reduce counterfeit software, and to make sure that Microsoft customers receive the software quality that they expect," a company support document stated. Wednesday, Microsoft defended product activation on the Mac with the same reasoning that it has used in the past for Office on Windows. A copy of Office 2010 in reduced mode will not let users edit or print documents, however. Instead, Office 2010 drops into what Microsoft calls "Reduced Functionality Mode," which lets users open the applications and view previously-created documents. Nor does the Windows suite go DOA if it has not been activated.
