Experience the most powerful Office for Windows. Compatible with PCs, smartphones and tablets. Access files and folders across your devices.

Ensure your documents are always up to date. Access documents from virtually anywhere. It’s just a matter of figuring out the Microsoft-approved method(s) for doing so.The new Microsoft Office 2013 provides access from virtually anywhere to your familiar Office applications, email, calendar, videoconferencing, and most up-to-date documents, across your devices from PCs to smartphones to tablets. And I can’t see any reason why they can’t. With Office 365 Personal or Home, for example, this notion of “deactivation” is simply performed using a web console, and without restrictions or limitations.īut we’re in a transition period now, and I’m sure there are millions of people out there who paid for whatever version of Office and wish to keep using it as they move to new PCs. And sure enough, Office 365 is generally a better deal, especially for those who wish/need to install Office on multiple devices. I’m curious if the policy has changed (again) since Office 2013, especially given Microsoft’s preference that users move to Office 365. If you don’t, you can use a third party application to find it in the registry.

Before uninstalling, be sure you do have that product key. I’d imagine that you will need to do a phone-based activation, but it’s possible that it will simply work with your existing product key automatically. But you can in fact uninstall the software and then use it on a different PC, according to Microsoft. So, there’s no formal way to deactivate Office 2013.

I purchased Office 2013 … I recently built a PC, and I would like to deactivate my previous install so I can install Office on my desktop. Is this possible? And if so, how do you do it?

Customers who upgrade to a new PC may understandably want to move their copy of Microsoft Office to the new PC as well.
