[AccessD] Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows: Lifetime License | TechSpot

[Stuart McLachlan]

Office 2021 Pro Plus Retail installed , registered and running.

Looking at the Licence, you CAN transfer it to another machine (so it's a good idea to 
download the offliine image and archive it somewhere along with the Licence key 
(presumably only if you sign in to the same MS account you used when you first 
downloaded and installed - I have a couple of MS accounts and initally had a problem 
licencing Office because WIndows was using a different MS account to the one I used for 
the licence.  Changing the MS account resolved the issue)

Here's the relevant licence section:
Stand-alone software acquired from a retailer. If you acquired the software from a retailer as 
stand-alone software, you may transfer the software to another device that belongs to you, 
but no more than once every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you 
may transfer sooner). If you transfer the software to another device, that other device 
becomes the "licensed device." You may also transfer the software to a device owned by 
someone else if (i) you are the first licensed user of the software and (ii) the new user 
agrees to the terms of this agreement. Every time you transfer the software to a new device, 
you must remove the software from the prior device. You may not transfer the software to 
share licenses between devices.
