Yah, that's one more thing MS probably hates about the traditional "buy 
once, use as long as you like" licensing model: Such a license can be 
sold (at least in Europe there's no legal way this may be prevented, 
neither by clever license terms & conditions, nor by technical hurdles), 
so even people or companies frequently upgrading their MS Office 
versions partially sap Microsoft's market, by re-selling their old 
versions for cheap.
