A license verification certificate expires and when it expires, Microsoft Office for Mac assumes it's unlicensed even if it has been fully paid for.

So, any idiot who paid for Office 2019 for Mac "perpetual" will lose access to it next month.

The same will happen with Office 2021 and Office 2024 in the future.

Pirates are unaffected, only who paid for the product gets punished

Good job πŸ‘πŸ»

We need to quit focusing on stuff like this. If somebody calls you a fucking idiot so fucking what?

And we do blame the victims constantly. The people that blame the victims do nothing but fucking win.
