Microsoft is trying to entice Office upgrades, if you buy Office 2010 or Office 2011 (Mac) you will be eligible to get the upgrade to Office 2013 for free! So you can push that little voice in your head that you will have to re-purchase Office when the new one is released out of your head. But as with all offers, this deal is a limited offer. Check out the details:
To be eligible you must purchase Office 2010 or 2011 between October 19, 2012 and April 30, 2013. Then to redeem your offer you will only have from the date that Office 2013 is released until May 31, 2013.
Other requirements:
It is required that you keep your Office dated sales receipt as proof of purchase until you redeem the offer, as a copy of this may be requested by Microsoft to confirm eligibility.
When the new Office products are available, Microsoft will email you at the email address you provided during sign-up. If your email address changes after sign-up you can request an email reminder by entering your new email address on the Offer website. Microsoft is not responsible for emails that are not received for any reason. You may check the Offer website, Office.com/offer ("Offer website"), at any time for updates.
