You paid for the OS, not the Office suite.

And dear god please just let me fucking pay a one time fee for the office suite you greedy fucks.

At least they haven't taken any moves against how easy it is to spoof licensing. Helps that the best way to spoof is also an official license/software activation method for large companies.
