Your product key has been activated the maximum number of times?

Office 2013 is licensed for the single PC, Office 365 Home Premium is licensed for 5 devices

Office 2013 Pro Plus is a volume Licence only available to qualifying persons, if you purchased it direct from a third party site you have likely purchased a hacked version

What on earth are you talking about? I purchased it through the HUP (home use program, http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/home.aspx?culture=en-US). Here's my scanned email receipt. 

I'm having the same problem. Had it installed on my desktop, my granddaughter's laptop for college and when I tried to activate it on my laptop, I got the same excess message. My granddaughter had to restore a lot of her programs from a "fix" the college data tech did for her, but even after activating MOPP 2013 a 2nd time on her laptop, I should still be able to install and activate on my laptop.

If you read the license terms you will see that all of the "Office 2013 ???" bundles are good for install on only one computer at a time (MS "Improved" the license terms for 2013 from 2 or 3 to only 1).  Only (most, not all of) the "Office 365 bundles allow install on up to 5 computers at the same time (Office University only allows 2).

Originally, the 2013 licenses were NOT transferable, but MS bent to preasure and retroactively changed that license term

http://blogs.office.com/b/office-news/archive/2013/03/06/office-2013-retail-license-agreement-now-transferable.aspx

While the license agreement accompanying Office 2013 software will be updated in a future release, this change is effective immediately and applies to Office Home and Student 2013, Office Home and Business 2013, Office Professional 2013 and the standalone Office 2013 applications. These transferability options are equivalent to those found in the Office 2010 retail license terms. The updated text is as follows:

Updated transferability provision to the Retail License Terms of the Software License Agreement for Microsoft Office 2013 Desktop Application Software:

Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you, but not more than one time every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you may transfer sooner). If you transfer the software to another computer, that other computer becomes the “licensed computer.” You may also transfer the software (together with the license) to a computer owned by someone else if a) you are the first licensed user of the software and b) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement before the transfer. Any time you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the prior computer and you may not retain any copies.

<snip>In the event that a customer buys the Office 2013 software and installs it on a PC that fails under warranty, the customer can contact support to receive an exemption to activate the Office 2013 software on the replacement PC. </snip>

 

PS: letting your daughter use you HUP licesne at work is 'bending' the license terms. It is intended for your use to do business related work at home.

As a student she can get the Office 365 University bundle for US$80, one-time payment good for up to a 4 year subscription. 

Also, as a student she may qualify for a free copy based on this new offering from MS:

<snip  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/16/microsoft_office_student_advantage_program/ >

The software giant on Tuesday announced a new program called Student Advantage, whereby students worldwide can sign up for subscriptions to Office 365 ProPlus through their institutions at no cost to themselves.

The only stipulation is that the schools must have already licensed either Office 365 ProPlus or Office Professional Plus for their entire workforces, including faculty and staff.

</snip>

So talk to your Help desk to find out if this applies to your school

<snip  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/ >

Get Office 365 ProPlus for students at no extra cost when you purchase Office for faculty and staff

When you license Office 365 ProPlus or Office Professional Plus institution-wide for all your faculty/staff, your students get access to Office 365 ProPlus at no extra cost. Starts Dec. 1, 2013.

My institution is already paying for students to use Office 365 ProPlus. When can we move to offering it to students at no additional cost?

Your institution can order and deploy Office 365 ProPlus to students starting December 1, 2013, provided that it meets all the conditions required for this Enrollment for Education Solutions, Open Value Subscription-Education Solutions, or school contract benefit. At the anniversary or renewal date for your contract, please contact your Volume Licensing reseller to address additional questions related to the software provided to students.

What happens when a student graduates?

When students graduate, their Office 365 subscription through the institution ends. They can enroll in other consumer or commercial offers.

I installed Office 2013 on an old laptop and again on my new laptop. I have had problems with my new laptop so have wiped and reinstalled my programs again several times. I got Office 2013 Professional Plus from work as part of the Home Use Program, so I'm a fully paid member.

When I got the error message, same as above, I clicked on Telephone Activation only to be told that Telephone Activation is no longer supported for your product!!!

How the **** am I supposed to get this working? I have paid for the product and got the key so I'd except to be able to use it.

Sorry there is not simple fix for this pair of new problems MS has created.

The "too many activations" message started popping up about a year ago.  On some licenses there is a limit on the number of times you can install and activate. But it should not apply to your license type.

The "no phone activation" message started showing up the end of last year.  Seems like MS is trying to stop providing phone activation. People with licenses from 2007 to 2016 have reported this problem.  BUT, after getting this message some people have been able to go on and do a phone activation.  Try again ... Try from a different computer, like a friends. All you need is to get the displayed phone number, you don't have to continue beyond that point. Try triggering the phone activation from a different <edit>phone number computer/network connection.

There is an associated issue with phone activation. The phone number displayed (when it is displayed) is specific for your geographic location so there is no single number we can provide. It is NOT version specific.

I stand corrected. In another similar question MS has acknowledged this is a "known issue" and have provided a KB article that will provide you with the phone activation number appropriate for your geographic location. YAY!
