  1. Hi,
    Et du coup, si on formate son PC un jour, la clé de license est expirée?

    Car là, il a fallu que le vendeur mette ma clé de license à jour car j'avais cliqué sur Afficher la clé dans le mail de commande mais n'avais pas encore installé Office et le temps que je me lance, j'avais eu une erreur et il a fallu que je contacte le vendeur et là, tout marche.

    But du coup, je m'intergore sur la durée de validité de ce type de clé, surtout si on vient à Réinitaliser le PC ou le formater.

    Sincerely,
