I'm unclear about the Office 2013 licence "One-time purchase for life of PC" condition. What if I install it and in 2 years buy a new laptop.

Not sure if you are still looking for the answer, but for anybody else who is still wondering, Microsoft has updated the licensing (due to numerous complaints) and Amazon has kindly inserted it at the top of the product description: Update: Microsoft updated the Office 2013 license. You may now transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you, but not more than one time every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you may transfer sooner). If you transfer the software to another computer, that other computer becomes the "licensed computer."

MS office was not loaded on. You can get it for another $99. Luckily I had access to 2010. I'm not happy with the computer since I've had it.

It probably depends on what license you have now, but here is what happened to me (below). If you have a box, then you're like me, but if OEM or download? My guess is that it will carry forward whatever type license you have with 2007. It turns out that I read my MSLT as it is called now (Microsoft Licensing Terms) from my installed Office 2007 PRO Upgrade I got from Amazon a couple months ago, and my 2007 PRO Upgrade said 3 PC's, and not one desktop and one laptop. But... When I downloaded 2010, the Office 2010 free download site gave me a new FPP key (full packaged product?) to use for installing it later. You can't get the download unless you install 2007 and get that id from inside the running product, but you can install the 2010 later using the new product key the site gives you. I believe that this is to get us to install 2007 by a certain deadline. It worked on me. But, it looks like the 2010 Office is back to a desktop/laptop again... I found this in a Microsoft pdf on the internet titled... MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS (This is for the FPP type (box not oem nor download) key that my 2007 had and my 2010 key has...) MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010 DESKTOP APPLICATION SOFTWARE 2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. a. One Copy per Device. You may install one copy of the software on one device. That device is the "licensed device." b. Licensed Device. You may only use one copy of the software on the licensed device at a time. c. Portable Device. You may install another copy of the software on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device. My 2007 PRO upgrade I got from Amazon said 3 devices. Go figure. I found some 2007's cheaper on ebay, but I have figured out they are not US, or used, etc. Beware! Good luck!

No, these typically don't come with new PC's, much less refurbished ones. Microsoft Office will likely cost you more than this PC itself. There are free alternatives available to download online that work just fine though.

No. Some models come with a trial version of Office (Word, etc.) that expires rather soon. You will have to acquire the software on your own.
1672859
No. It doesn't.You have to buy the Office or use a license that you already own.

Yes, it comes with a 30 day Microsoft Office Trial(OHT13M). I am not 100% sure it's the 2013 version because I bought the 2010 version and never used the trial offer. But everything Microsoft in the Dell laptop coming out of the box referenced the 2013 version, i.e. it anticipates you will install the 2013 version when you do ultimately enter the product code. That and the "13" in the code description above which can't be coincidental makes me believe that the trial offer runs the 2013 version.

Yes, I downloaded and installed office 2013 and it works like a charm. great computer though.

I acquired this computer last Nov 1st. It came with a trial version of Office 2010 on it. A product key code could make it permanent or allow you to download any files needed to augment it to your version. Personally I already owned a dvd version of Office 2007, so I bought an external drive and used it to install it on my computer instead. So that route would work as well.

The most important thing is that Office 2013 is included for free (not Office 365). Then the rest is kind of basic stuff that Windows 8.1 have, like Kindle, Netflix (only works in some countries), Microsoft programs like Skype, Onedrive, and some new additions like Health & Fitness, Food & Drink and Travel apps Basically, it has a full functioning Windows 8.1 OS (one of the first to have it) that comes with basic windows stuff and Office for free. The rest you can easily install, some from the app store (has limited stuff) and most from the web like you did in previous windows versions.

As is the case with most software, the version changes annually so last years edition won't be viable for this year (SUCKS!) Every copy I've purchased, both disc and download, was licensed for one computer only. A hidden subroutine key identifies your computer with the a specific copy of the software so if you attempt to install it on multiple machines, when it goes for updates, you'll be flagged for running without a license. I have, however, processed up to four return files for different individuals, then printed the returns out.

Hi, Robin! I am completely indebted to you for your post. Otherwise, I would not have been aware of the "non-commercial, 3-PC" license issue. I should also note that I (sadly) just two weeks ago had received and installed a CD version of OneNote 2007. Since then, I have been in the throes of the Office 2010 Trial Upgrade. Decided I was just completely happy with my Office 2003 Pro, but wanted the latest version of OneNote. I wound up purchasing from the website below. I had started to order from Amazon (and I LOVE them!) - but, canceled the order because I could not be SURE that it was - as you pointed out - the "3-license version". And, that is definitely a deal-breaker. The link below actually goes to the Microsoft Store. It was $70. With shipping and tax, total was $80. I went for the "delivery" option, so I'd have the CD if a reinstall was ever needed (and they always are, aren't they?). TOTALLY worth the price, considering the 3-computer license. Again, my sincere and grateful thanks! Scott Roberts scott404@gmail.com http://store.microsoft.com/content.aspx?cntid=9991&tsq=productid:C72490E9

Yes, plus it comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office 2013, so you have access to word, PowerPoint, excel and other office programs free for 30 days.

Nope you get 90 days on it. Then you have to go to dell or somewhere else and buy the annual license.

Be careful! it is one year but the year starts with the first install. So if you install another computer 6 months later it will only have 6 months left. I was shocked to find this out when I did the 2nd install

The included "Office Home & Student 2013" is a FULL version. It is NOT a Trial version as someone else claimed. The confusion is that this same laptop is being sold elsewhere with a Trial version of "Office 365", which is a web-based solution of the full line of MS Office products. The Office Home & Student 2013 application being offered here is a FULL version, meaning it's yours forever... it is NOT a Trial Version. However, it is limited to only include Excel, Word, OneNote and PowerPoint. It does NOT include Publisher, Access, SharePoint or Outlook.

No, Microsoft Office is a licensed product and doesn't come on this laptop. It might have a 30-day trial, but that's all.
