You can buy one of several non-subscription Office editions (one-time purchase). Other than the launch-time discounts, there's no other discounted-upgrade that I'm aware of, and there hasn't been that for many years. I'd not expect there to be any kind of discounting still available for Office2013 purchases by now (two years after launch). I think it's all a moot point by now, it's years after the event. I want to be able to get a version that I can use for the next 7 years (like I did back with OfficeĢ003) without having to worry about using a product that is too outdated.Įither I get an reasonably priced upgrade to the 2013 retail version that I can load on a new computer as I replace the older slower computer, or I have to seriously start looking at an Office work-alike. ![]() The reason I want to upgrade to Office 2013 is that I have a gut feel that Microsoft will be moving heaven and earth to get everyone on a subscription model. (I skipped Office 2007 because Office 2003 was doing everything I needed at the time.) Given the number of years that I ran Office 2003 had the rental option been mandatory at that time then it would have cost me more. I will never go to a subscription model as that I cannot afford to lose access to my software if cash flow become very tight in the future (if I had been on a subscription model in late 2008 to early 2009 I would have been without software) and This summer I am going to get a i7-2011-3 so if I had gone the cheaper route originally and gotten an OEM version I would have had to buy Office Bottom line there is no direct license upgrade from 2010 to 2013 or 2016. They also have switched their marketing focus to Office 365, away from one-time-payment licenses. They no longer offer 'upgrades' for the one-time-payment licenses, like Office 2010 and Office 2016. ![]() I bought the retail version because I knew I would be upgrading the i7-1366 I was using at the time to an i7-2011. After Office 2010 MS has really messed around with their licensing. What about those of us who bought Office 2010 a week/month after it came out?
