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 👍🏻
Disclaimer: I wrote “idiot” to describe someone who paid for the product not because they’re actually idiots, but it’s because Microsoft is treating them like that: their official solution on the website is “simply subscribe to the latest and greatest or buy a new “perpetual” license to office 2024 to continue using what you paid for”
Nah I think you summed it up pretty well. People who bought an overpriced machine, and then decided they’d run overpriced software on it. Two companies I wouldn’t touch with a galaxy sized pole. If they didn’t learn anything from them before this, they will be as described.
i think people should be able to live peacefully as idiots without being fucked over by greedy corpos but thats just me i guess
no, actually, STOP BLAMING THE IDIOTS YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG. HELP THEM MAKE BETTER CHOICES IF YOURE SO GODDAMN MUCH BETTER THAN THEM.
i hate your antisocial holier than thou attitude
You going to make it?
When you try, they just laugh. They’re not going to verify anything. They do it on purpose. It is their fault.
“people that are stupider than me, that’s their fault”
Whelp you heard it here first folks, apparently some people get to manually allocate IQ points before birth?
Weird thing quotes are. Ignorance, which is what I was describing in this case is intentional.
No the original commenter said idiot, with some caveats that it’s not because the people are stupid, it’s because they’re being treated like idiots by the company, and you reply, yeah no actually they are just idiots
You never wrote the word ignorance before now
Bulshitt ass backpeddling. You have only written ‘its their own fault’ untill now. And then you try to act like ‘oh my god dude I’ve only been referring to people keeping themselves wilfully ignorant…’
Okay then fucking write out the words you mean instead of all this other horsecock that you apparently can’t stand by.
You win, you are the best, have a good day.
Jesus christ just apologize and move on how hard is it to say “yeah sorry that was a bit rude”
Instead of this passive aggressive stinkpiece
Have some dignity, please
Where do you buy a galaxy sized pole?
Costco
