What You Need To Know About Office/Microsoft 365

Office/Microsoft 365 requires regular payment (a subscription) to continue using the software (SaaS - Software As A Service). Thesubscription licensing is similar to Adobe's Creative Suite in the Cloud. You pay your subscription, you download andinstall the software, the software works while you pay. If you stop paying/cancel your subscription, the software goesinto 'reduced-functionality mode' (you can open/read and print documents but you cannot edit them or create newdocuments). If a new version comes out while you are subscribing you get the new version at no extra cost. However,unlike the Adobe model there are still perpetual and volume licensing options available for the desktop products, yourdocuments are saved in an open, non-proprietary format, and you can choose to pay yearly/monthly or even from month tomonth. If you plan to cancel your subscription you should check that the document features you plan to use are going tobe supported by third party alternatives. Most Office/Microsoft 365 subscription plans include all the Office 2016/2019 desktopapplications for macOS, Office for iOS apps including OneNote, plus 1TB of online cloud storage† space via OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive) and a Skype minutes monthly allowance. For home/non-commercial users there isa 'Personal' subscription (1 user, 1 PC/Mac, 1 tablet, 1 phone) or a 'Family' subscription (6 users, 6 PCs/Macs, 6 tablets, 6 phones). There are a range of plansfor businesses/commercial users. Office/Microsoft 365 needs an internet connection at least once every 39 days to 'phone home'otherwise the applications will go into reduced functionality mode (view/print documents but not edit/create new documents).
- Over time Microsoft has changed the amount of OneDrive storage offered with Office/Microsoft 365 Personal, Home and University subscriptions. In June 2014 Microsoft bumped Office/Microsoft 365 subscribers from 20GB to 1TB. They then added unlimited storage in October 2014. From early 2016 unlimited storage will be removed and it will be 1TB again. Storage allowances differ for business users based on their type of subscription and level.

Office 2011/2016/2019 Product Keys and Activation

Office 2011/2016/2019 Software Activation

Microsoft's activation scheme does two specific things to try and prevent software piracy:
  1. Multiple installs using a single serial number
  2. Installation on what might appear to the software to be a different computer for example replacing/upgrading the hard disk in your computer is an obvious flag
In either situation the activation system will block the install and you need to contact Microsoft to verify the legitimacy ofyour ownership of the software. This can be a pain in the butt but in all cases you do not need torepurchase Microsoft Office or purchase the Office/Microsoft 365 subscription. If you have a receipt/invoice and a serial numberMicrosoft should issue a new serial number/activation code. However, this is where the most problems occur simply becauseMicrosoft support, especially for Mac products, is so poor. Be firm and resolute and make sure you have that proof ofownership before calling.NOTE: If you are having problems with installation/activation call Microsoft on 02031 474930 in the UK or (866) 825-4797 in the USA. Alternatively, see these dedicated Microsoft support pages. You can also try removing any licensing files from your computer and reinstalling/reactivating.

Office 2011/2016/2019 Invalid Product Key

Microsoft routinely invalidates some 'product keys' (serial numbers) via software updates/service packs because they mayhave been leaked/compromised and/or posted on software pirating web sites. If you can prove ownership of the softwarethey will give you a new product key (serial number).
NOTE: If you are having problems with an invalid product key call Microsoft on 02031 474930 in the UK or (866) 825-4797 in the USA

Office for iOS/iPad

Office for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch requires iOS 12 or later
NOTE: The Office/Microsoft 365 subscription is now available as an in-app purchase.
NOTE: Microsoft allows iOS devices that have screens smaller than 10.1 inches to edit documents for free so the iPad Pro requires an Office/Microsoft 365 subscription to be able to edit documents (this is not just an iOS restriction - it applies to Android and Windows devices too).
