    I was setting up several computers for 1 location. I have Microsoft Office 2013 licenses purchased for each machine. I set up the first one then made an image of the drive and copied to the other computers. This obviously created conflicts with the Microsoft Office 2013 product keys. All I needed to do was change the product key for each machine to match the license that was purchased for that specific machine. This is how I had to accomplish this. Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.

    Open Control Panel

    Open Programs and Features

    Highlight Microsoft Office 2013

    Click Change

    Select Online Repair

    Click Repair

    Click Repair in the pop up box

    After it is done repairing

    Close the Control Panel

    Down in the system tray should be an Office 2013 logo. When you click on it, I says "Office is installing in the background (xx%) You can use your programs now, but please don't go offline or restart your computer."

    Wait for the install to complete and this box disappears.

    Start any Office program

    A "Activate Office" box will pop up

    Midway down Click "Enter a product key instead"

    Enter your new product key

    Click Install.

    To check that it was done correctly, Open any Office program. Go to File. Click Account. In the window to the right it should say "Product Activated"
