Office 2013 activation

[Guest]

I have a legitimate copy of office 13 installed on my main PC, the problem is that they apparently only come with a license for 1 PC nowadays and that I just bought a laptop so I can get a bit of work done when I'm not at home. I also installed it on the laptop and it obviously told me that all the keys (the one key that comes with it) are already in use. It installed just fine and everything is working, it just prompts me to activate office whenever I open word or excel. I can just close that message and use office as if it was activated.

My question is, will it just keep asking me to activate office (without any consequences) or will it "lock down" my installation after a certain time? I'm honestly quite frustrated that I can only use this on one machine even though the license is bound to my account (both PCs run windows 8.1 and I'm logged in with the same account in both). Seems pretty damn stupid to me. And no, office 365 is not a solution here since I've already bought my legitimate key.

You can keep on using it, no worries. I have been doing that for years.

I know i installed it on my sister laptop and the only thing she gets is a message and a red banner saying that it's not activated, still works fine i think

With me, it only let me use it twenty times before it stopped me.

Contradicting opinions it seems. I guess I could try launching it 20 times and see what happens, I really hope that I can just ignore it though. It already got a valid key associated with my account anyway, it's just on the "wrong" PC.

Yeah, idk, I have experience only with the licensing of =<2010 so idk about 2013, but it would give you a warning if it was bothered about the number of times you have left.

Seems to "just work" for me. I've just opened and closed word 21 times, it just asks me to activate it every time. Still works fine, awesome. I guess I can safely ignore it then, there also isn't any "30 day trial version" banner whenever I open somethng.

Interesting, I guess that's good
