CodeWeavers reports

Gone are [...] the days that we hopelessly tried to register Microsoft Office 2013. You read that right, people. [On November 2], we successfully registered Microsoft Office 2013 in a CrossOver 16 alpha build. We [can] also:

  • Open, create, edit, save, and print Microsoft office documents
  • Activate a copy of Microsoft Office 2013 [with a] product key or a 365 subscription
  • Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project

"Everyone at CodeWeavers is incredibly excited to see Microsoft Office 2013 installing, registering, and running in CrossOver. After four years of continued development, we are preparing to deliver support for the 2013 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project in CrossOver 16 (due out later this year). And we hope that our development will continue making strides to include support for Outlook 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016 in the coming months." -- James Ramey, President

    Yes, I wasn't really understanding where this cost savings was coming from.

    Someone has to pay for the MS licensing, and that's via a magical cloud of subscription services in this case--paid for by the end user or company representing the end user.
