Like all software today, Office isn’t sold in a disc box. You can download the software or we can install for you using your license registration. What you’re paying for is the license that allows you to install and use the product. Without a license, Office expires after 30 days. Office 365 subscriptions can be installed on Mac, Windows, iPad, Microsoft Surface tablet or Android… and they all read and write the same files.
Buying Microsoft Office subscriptions
- Office 365 Personal $7/month or $70/year. Single user, individual OneDrive online storage & Office apps for 1 computer & 1 smartphone or tablet.
- Office 365 Home $10/month or $100/year. Up to 5 users, each with individual OneDrive storage and Office apps for a total of 5 computers & 5 mobile devices.
- Office 365 Business Essentials $5/month per user. Each user has email hosting, OneDrive & web versions of Office. Includes SharePoint collaborative storage for the group. DOES NOT include Office apps for computers or devices.
- Office 365 Business $8.25/month per user. Each user has OneDrive storage and Office apps for 1 computer & 1 device. No email or SharePoint collaborate storage.
- Office 365 Business Premium $12.50/month per user. Each user has email hosting, OneDrive and Office apps for 5 computers & 5 devices. Includes SharePoint collaborative storage for the group.
Your Office 365 subscription needs to remain current or your Microsoft products are disabled. While it’s still possible to purchase Office as an old-style perpetual license that does not expire, it costs significantly more. For example, Office Home & Student costs $150 and does not include the iPad version or Outlook. It works only on a single Mac. And when a new version comes out, you’ll pay full price for the upgrade.
