Microsoft should be forced to stop requiring "Microsoft accounts" to activate a box license, let alone binding such licenses to a specific user forever. As a small business you can buy a basic Office box for a new employee and forget about having it back once they leaeve the team. This is bullshit.
- nullindividual 3y agoA company can reassign licenses as required. Just don’t use consumer accounts.

Secondly, as a small business, we prefer to just buy box versions (even if they cost more) from the nearest computer store the same way we buy office supplies. Neither was a problem in the past, everyone could just buy a box, install and reinstall it on any PC. Now the very meaning of a box version seems destroyed (I don't understand what does it mean anymore). Meanwhile, there is a EU Court of Justice case saying people can re-sell used software.
