โฒ 790 โผ Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected (www.theverge.com) submitted 2 months ago by FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works to c/technology@lemmy.world 136 comments fedilink hide all child comments cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/48806122 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 ๐๐ป
