Microsoft office 2013 license cannot be transferred to other computer

With the earlier versions of Microsoft Office, it was possible to transfer the license from one computer to other - meaning you had to remove the office installation from one computer completely and then then install on your new computer and then register your product from the new machine. But not anymore with Office 2013.

Microsoft has made it sure that a copy of Office 2013 will remain married to the machine it's installed first on and transfer of license from one machine to other is not possible.

Not sure if it's a good move!
