Hi there
judging by the latest advertising for Office 365 (subscription model - up to 5 PC's) and the restriction of Office 2013 being fixed to the ORIGINAL computer (i.e you can't move it when getting a new computer) I'd suspect that future Office products will now be only subscription models.
I don't like this idea and am not going down this route. I'll keep Office 2010 for as long as possible --and if Windows itself goes subscription only then Linux Mint or whatever -- Here I come. (Libre Office also seems to be improving -- but I'm quite a power user of EXCEL so it's not quite ready for prime time for me).
Cheers
