Confused: by "code", did you mean legal or software? I assume that
Microsoft is now doing the "hardware hash" kind of thing it does for
Windows licenses, and so once you've activated an Office using a given
hash, you'll be allowed to re-activate ONLY using the same (or similar
enough) hash.

If you meant "legal code", then are you saying that Polish law requires
portability? If so, would that we had such consumer-protective laws here!
