In my job I install Office for customers all the time. The process is simple and I can do it really fast.
I won't go into details but with Office 2013 Microsoft has made it not so simple any more to do online activation.
So I fucked up the online activation for one of my customers and had to do the phone activation. I called and entered that really long ass code into the automated system. At the end, the cyborg asked me how many computers I had installed this on. Why would he ask me this question? Because he wants to make sure I am not installing it on multiple PCs, obviously.
This is a brand new copy of Office and of course I had already installed it on the brand new PC because that's how you get to the phone activation wizard. I assumed the correct answer was 1 at this point. It is not. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS ZERO.
After I said 1 he immediately went on a little spiel about how I was violating the licensing terms and I was a fuckbag and I should purchase another copy of office, then hung up on me.
