On August 25th, 2009, Microsoft announced that it was making Office Genuine Advantage, a mechanism designed to verify and confirm that Office installations are genuine, available to consumers on no less than 41 markets worldwide. Microsoft has yet to confirm a specific delivery deadline for the availability of Office 2010, beyond 1H 2010.
Microsoft indicated that it would be integrating new anti-piracy innovations into Office 2010, which is expected to hit the shelves in the first half of the coming year.
In this sense, both Windows 7 and Office 2010 feature the same anti-piracy enhancements as part of the evolution of the Redmond company’s efforts to make its products increasingly harder to bootleg. In India, the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription costs Rs 4,899 per year and Rs 6,199 per year for 'Family' subscriptions.Microsoft has taken necessary measures designed to curb the piracy of upcoming releases of its two main cash cows, the next iteration of the Windows client and of the Office System. Since we could not independently verify the offer, we are not sure if Indian users of non-genuine Microsoft 365 software, such as Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, are eligible, too. The regular prices are $69.99 per year and $99.99 annually, respectively, in the US. If pirated users decide to go ahead with the purchase, they will see the cost of Microsoft 365 dropped to around $35 per year for 'Personal' users and around $50 annually for 'Family' subscribers. For a limited time, save up to 50% on a genuine Microsoft 365 subscription.” Clicking on the banner leads them to the Microsoft 365 landing page where users will not only see a warning against using pirated software but they will be able to buy the genuine versions at 50 per cent discount. According to the promotional offer spotted by Ghacks (via Bleeping Computer), the users of non-genuine software are now seeing a banner on top.
