Not true !

Microsoft are not issuing any new licenses for Microsoft Office, the ones on sale now are the ones which were previously issued by Microsoft.  Furthermore they are deleting existing licenses, if you have a license which you bought and installed on a computer then it will continue to work, however if you have to re-install Office for any reason (even on the same computer it was originally installed on) the license will not re-activate.  Also the telephone service to get an activation number has been discontinued.

If you buy a license for a previous version of Microsoft Office now and it has not been activated before it will activate precisely once and thats your lot.

All new instances of Microsoft Office are the subscription version.

I do agree however that Libre Office does need a usable outliner.  As an outliner Navigator is abysmal.
