I have just read the following from today's MacInTouch Page:

Subject: Office v.X Expires in One Year
This may be a known fact, but I found it shocking - With all the attention on he new "Microsoft Activation" scheme, I decided to read my Microsoft Product License for my newly purchased Office v.X.
I was stunned to see that the license clearly states the product will "de-activate" one year (365 days) from activation unless I pay for a new copy.
I am stunned - simply amazed that after paying $500.00 for a a office suite, that Microsoft would have the gaul to time limit it to one year. Imagine if Photoshop, Maya, and others simply "de-activated" after one years use.
I thought this was of interest to the public - not many people actually read the software license agreement.
--------------------
Can anyone who has a copy of Office v. X either support or refute this claim?
