No, it was this thing that Windows 8 had a Windows 8.1 Preview. I got notice that Windows 8.1 Preview would be forced to Windows 8.1 on January 15th. I didn't think anything of it, until I found out that I had to re-install everything. Rather than type it myself, here's from Microsoft's website:

"Thank you for using Windows 8.1 Preview. The preview is no longer available for download, and the license for it expires January 15, 2014. If you have not yet installed the final version of Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, you should do so now.

"If you are still running Windows 8.1 Preview, you'll see the following notification every time you sign in. After January 15, 2014, your PC will also restart every 2 hours and you will lose any unsaved data."

So I had to install the final version or restart the PC every two hours. I did that about twice before I said, "Okay, let's update." Little did I know that Office would lose the key.
