OEM MS Office now has Expiry date

Just noticed this on Dell orders. Not sure when it showed up, but it couldn't have been more than a few days....

@JasGot I assume that is for some form of included M365 account.
I never order from Dell, but through a VAR, so I don't see that.

Yeah I suspect that this has to include some cloud services, but why order direct through Dell with OEM office? I would think you'd have an active 365 tenante for this if you're a windows shop.

What do the other methods offer that would be better for us?

Office via Open allows for .MSI Office 2016 to be installed. I suggest sticking with that for critical workloads especially RDS Farms.
Click-2-Run, which is 2019 and 2021 versions, is an on-the-fly product that gets updates randomly that can hork things up bad and require a full re-install after removing it with a pair of tweezers.

Find a local and reputable system builder that is signed on with a SPLA Agreement and get your Office licenses through them or buy an Open License Agreement with the 3 year split payment option (Open Value) before they are gone.
Perpetual does not go away. So, stick with what works.

This works.
