There apparently isn't an Office 2013 FPP version at all, and that seems to have caused some consternation. It seems it's now difficult to find the FPP version of Office 2010 at online shopping sites. In contrast to consumers, organizations may typically purchase Office through Microsoft's volume licensing, which costs more, but this blog claims that organizations get more too, mostly in terms of licensing and use options. Those two versions of Office 2010 were sold at different prices. While most consumers might think of boxed Office copies as being sold in just one form, Microsoft had offered two product forms with Office 2010 - a "product key card" (PKI) version with no transfer rights and a "full package product" (FPP) version that had transfer rights. Office 2010, Office 2013 and Office 365 transfer rights. That version of Office is not licensed for commercial use, though, and those who want to use it for such purposes will need to purchase a further license.There is one exception: It's possible to transfer Office 2013 installations to another PC if there's an equipment failure and the machine gets replaced under warrantee, according to a Microsoft announcement (see Microsoft's chart below). The upgrade offer may be less relevant to consumers who are planning to buy a Windows RT device such as Microsoft's Surface, as the ARM-centric version of Windows 8 already comes with a copy of Office Home and Student 2013 RT. The offer came as Microsoft prepares for the official launch of Windows 8 this week.
They also qualify if they buy a new PC that comes with Office 2010 preinstalled during the eligibility period. To get the upgrade, customers will need to provide proof of purchase, dated between 19 October, 2012 and 30 April, 2013, and a valid product key. The other Office for Mac versions will only provide upgrades to one-year Office 365 Home Premium subscriptions.
Specifically, Office University 2010 customers, both on the PC and Mac, will get to move for free to Office 365 University, on a four-year subscription. Those on other versions can only upgrade to variants of Office 365. People buying Office 2010 now will get a free upgrade to Office 2013 when it arrives, Microsoft has said.
