The California settlement was the largest of more than a dozen agreements totaling $1.87 billion struck between Microsoft and consumers in various states over the last few years. It is the largest recovery achieved in an antitrust class-action case in California, Mr. Grossman said. Under its terms, consumers and companies can receive vouchers worth $5 for each copy of Microsoft Word they purchased, $16 for each copy of Microsoft Windows and $29 for each copy of Microsoft Office, which includes Word and Excel.
The window for filing claims closes on Jan. 8, which is 60 days after Judge Paul Alvarado of California Superior Court in San Francisco gave final approval for the settlement. Microsoft agreed to issue vouchers to anyone who bought Microsoft Windows, Word or Excel in California from 1995 to 2001. The vouchers can be used to buy software from any manufacturer, not only Microsoft.
