What will Office customers see if their software isn’t genuine?
Customers will receive a pop-up dialog box alerting them their Office software is not genuine. The customer will receive this dialog box the first time they open an Office application each day, and again two hours later for a period of 30 days. This dialog box offers two options. The customer can select “Learn More” and be taken to an OGA web site that explains their validation results and offers step-by-step options to get genuine. Or, the customer can select “Remind me later” to close the dialog box. After receiving this dialog box notification for 30 days, Office applications will be marked with a visual reminder that the copy of Office is not genuine. Both the dialog box and/or the visual reminder will disappear once the customer gets genuine Office. None of the visual cues presented will impair a customer from accessing their data or reduce software functionality.
