Can I transfer Microsoft Office to my new computer?
It's a tricky task to transfer Office to a new computer, but no impossible, says Rick Maybury
By Rick Maybury
My Del desktop computer came with Microsoft Office 2010 preinstalled. I have no disc but I do have the licence. I am purchasing a laptop to replace the desktop and wonder if it is possible to transfer Office to the new computer?
Liz Norsworthy, by email
Probably not, but there is an easy way to check. The three most common types of licence for Microsoft Office are designated FPP, OEM and MLK. FPP or Full Packaged Product covers the boxed, retail version. OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer is for licensed pre-installed software, bundled by system builders and most likely the one that you have. Lastly there is MLK or Medial Licensing Kit, which is for the trial version of Office also pre-installed by system builders and unlocked when the license fee is paid. Only FPP licenses can be transferred, but to see which one you have check the code on the Product Key Label sticker, which should be on the back of the case. If by some chance you have the FPP version all you have to do is download the correct trial version of Office 2010 from here, then for instructions on how to transfer your licence here.

Apple Could Finally Adopt NFC On iPhone...
Apple Could Finally Adopt NFC On iPhone For Mobile Payment Plans And Touch ID
Apple’s 2014 roadmap was laid out in pretty considerable detail by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo earlier this week in an investor note, and while ordinarily analyst predictions aren't worth the paper they’re printed on, Kuo has a solid track record of actually getting things right. Among Kuo’s predictions are larger iPhones, a Retina MacBook Air, improved Apple TV, iPad with Touch ID and iWatch launch later this year. But one small detail could have more potential impact than all the rest: NFC inclusion in iWatch and iPhone devices.
Apple has never thought much of NFC, at least when it comes to its own devices, and has avoided building the communication tech into its gadgets for years while the Android competition turned it into a device default. NFC had a lot of early buzz, but for the most part, its usefulness for the average person comes in its ability to act as a handshake tech to ease the process of Bluetooth pairing. It still has some utility as a mobile payments transfer tech, but even with mobile payment options built into Android phones that support it, it hasn’t taken off in that regard.
If Apple starts building NFC into its devices, as Kuo reports it will, that could all change. While Apple now offers iBeacons Bluetooth LE-based tech, which could replicate the payment functions of NFC, support for the other tech would mean broad compatibility with existing hardware that more and more merchants have now been adopting with their in-store point-of-sale systems. Both types of tech are early, but NFC has the virtue of more time to find its feet.
As Finextra notes, the WSJ reported earlier this year that Apple was looking to develop a mobile wallet for iPhone, using the existing iTunes accounts the company already uses for purchases within its own software and retail store ecosystem. That would give Apple an instant network of over 600 million users with credit card information on file, making it likely the largest mobile payments network of any kind without even trying. And with NFC, Touch ID could be used to authenticate those payments, or even to authenticate identify for store loyalty or other purposes, too.
Apple has previously patented tech related to NFC and mobile payments, and Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned that payments was part of what drove the inspiration behind creating Touch ID, the fingerprint-based authentication tech on the iPhone 5s. Touch ID is reportedly coming to iPad Air 2 in 2014, as well, which expands the pool of potential payments applicability even further. Apple may have seemed disdainful of NFC in the past, but it has a habit of waiting on new and emerging tech until it becomes genuinely useful to a large swath of consumers, and NFC could be just about at that point, and a key route to Apple’s domination of the mobile payments space.
Google Glass Available to Anyone in U.S. — for One Day Only
Google said the people testing out Google Glass include bakers and doctors
Google Glass! On sale! One day only! Just $1,500! Get ‘em while they’re hot!
It looks as if Google is embracing a sales tactic that has been perfected by used-car dealers.
In a post on Google Plus, the company’s social network, Google said that it would sell the Google Glass augmented-reality glasses for one day only, starting at 6 a.m. on Tuesday.
Google said it gets requests every day from people who want to become Glass Explorers, as first-generation Google Glass wearers are called. With Tuesday’s event, “any adult in the U.S. can become an Explorer,” the company said, though it also noted that “the number of spots available is limited.”
The one-day offering through the Google Glass website is designed to reach people who want to try the glasses but have been unable to get a pair.
As any good used-car seller knows, you have to promise customers something special to entice them even further. Google is choosing style as its sales tactic. “It now comes with your favorite shade or frame, thanks to feedback from our current Explorers,” the company wrote in the post. “The number of spots available is limited, so mark your calendar if you want to get in.”
In the comments section of the post, some people voiced their frustration with the price tag on Google Glass.
“Over the past several months, we've been trying out different ways to expand the Explorer program,” wrote Joe Betsill, a student at Northeastern University, quoting Google, then asked, “Did you consider lowering the price?”
Matt Conn also took a jab at the price in the comments. “Still $1,500?! You’re kidding me right,” he wrote. “Apple is right around the corner, and you’re not making this a loss-leader?”
“Ugh…. $1,500?” read another comment.
“Many people would like to try Glass, only a few are willing to pony up the $1,500 required,” another comment noted.
But Google seems confident that people can afford Google Glass at that price. In the post on Google Plus, the company said current Google Glass users include ”moms, bakers, surgeons, rockers.” (Though it’s unclear what a “rocker” is.)
For those who seem hesitant, maybe Google can try another user-car sales tactic: dropping the price. Or a variation on what anyone who has purchased a car has heard, “What’s it going to take to get you in Google Glass today?”
