InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft has introduced a new program for testing if customers have a genuine version of its Office productivity suite, according to the company.
The move is part of Microsoft's continued efforts to prevent software piracy and the distribution of counterfeit copies of its software.
Microsoft has launched a pilot of the Office Genuine Advantage program in seven languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Greek, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Spanish, according to Microsoft. The program will determine if pilot users have a genuine installation of Microsoft Office installed on their computers.
