Microsoft has been criticized for licensing restrictions in its Office 2013 retail version which limit customers' use of older versions of the software to only the purpose allowed under license conditions.[54][55][56][57] A Skydrive offer allows users to install up to five of Office on a trial basis prior to purchasing the product.[58] Only services at SkyDrive.com have this offer available, but other retailers are free to offer it as an option.[59] The detail about the licensing in Microsoft Office 2013 upgrade instructions compares to that in the older Microsoft Office 2003 or 2010 products which include a lengthy, legally-binding agreement that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to upgrade or downgrade.[58][60] While Microsoft stated that it is open to a change in this area, it has been criticized for not following Apple's approach of allowing customers to purchase a license for newer editions of Office on older versions of OS X and thus promoting interoperability.[57]
Analysts have predicted that Microsoft's decision to include an additional two years of support in Office 2013, making it available to Windows 7 users until January 2017 instead of 2016, is motivated by a desire to gain its users to depend on it through subscriptions and advertisement. Users who have purchased Office 2013 previously through official channels are still able to use old installations of Office 2010 and Office 2007 until 2016, but not after that time.[61] When purchasing Office 2013, it is also necessary to purchase a subscription for an annual fee in order to use Office 2013 alongside earlier versions of Office, adding pressure on customers to sign up and take it as payment for the maintenance of their subscriptions.[61] Another motivation for the change is that it is a way to remind consumers that they are using one of Microsoft's most important software products, and to make them view the product as critical to their business.[62] Office 2013 is also the first version of the product to come with support for Windows Store apps, and allows developers to use the XML-based Office Open XML format for document export, opening up new possibilities for third-party software development outside the Microsoft ecosystem.[2] A new feature called OneDrive for Business, which automatically synchronizes documents stored in the cloud, is also a first for Microsoft. While the company's competitors also offer cloud storage solutions, only Office 2013 is the first to integrate it into the standard applications.[2] d2c66b5586
