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 👍🏻

    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.

              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.

                  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

                    Lmfao go fuck yourself. That was a half hearted attempt to leave this alone. You came at me with personal attacks white-knighting for people I described as ignorant without using the word ignorant, tripled down and now you want an apology?

                    Please tell me what ignorant means.
