You can confirm this by visiting the. I'm a fan of MS Office, and have been a user since before there was MS Office (Excel and Word back on the Mac, before the dawn of Windows).
As a professional trainer, I'm disappointed that MS has made it impossible to maintain the desired version, even when it is still supported. When I installed another MS product (on another account, even), it forced me to 'upgrade' from 2013 to 2016.
There was no way to install Visio 365 without upgrading my existing Office installation. Not only does Office 2016 lack a key feature for me (recent folders for open/save), most of my clients are using 2013 and expect me to use 2013 when delivering training. Now I am forced to go find a stand-alone copy of 2013 to install, basically getting no value from my Office 365 subscription, which I had just renewed. I've been using some version of Microsoft Office since 1999 and every year that I've upgraded it has gotten a little better.
The only thing that I'm not crazy about is how Publisher has changed in that when you want a graphic image you get sent to Bing images so many of the images can't be used since they're copy-written. I'm not a big fan of the rent me for a year at $99.00 plus tax.
I'd rather pay full price for an upgrade or full product since I prefer to upgrade my software every two years. Usually there isn't enough of a change in the program to warrant upgrading every year.
I'm only 158 points from Serrano. So Helpful Post or Best Answer would be greatly appreciated. As Brian said, you CAN see the license key for each one of those installs under your Microsoft Account. There's actually a Microsoft KB on how to do this: But with Office 365 you don't even have to deal with that. The other selling points are as follows:.
Office on up to 5 devices per user. Web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and One Note so you can even edit documents on the go. Enterprise Level email (and depending on the subscription level), email archiving 50GB per user storage. Shared calendars. Online conferencing including video conferences.
OneDrive online storage here's a link to the full list: Hope this helps you make a decision or at least put the info in front of the right people to do so I get to do my expense report now.yay. Office 365 is the way I would go with an office of that size. It not only enables them to install Office on their machine at work, but also on their home machine so that if they work from home sometimes they're able to use the same version in both places.
You also always have the latest version and don't have to worry about upgrading the software. The SMB Office 365 model also includes hosted Exchange, so they could register their domain (if they don't already host their own email) and have basically Enterprise level features for 12.50 a month per computer.

You'll need to document what goes where for when/if you need to reinstall. It's 30 activations on Office 2013 per Microsoft account. I've got multiple email aliases pointing to the same domain mailbox to handle that. Office 2016 seems to handle the product key/activation process the same way, I can only hope there is a higher threshold for number of allowed activations.
I'm done with Office. I have informed my clients that I will no longer be supplying Microsoft Office. I have recommended that they move to Open Office with Mozilla Thunderbird as an email client. I know this likely won't be possible for larger organizations, but my biggest client has less than 100 computers. I've given them the choice to go to a subscription model if they absolutely cannot do without office, which is what Microsoft wants. So Microsoft has indeed succeeded in cutting out this middleman!
I had an hour long call with the Licensing service help desk. The upshot of which is, The key you get on your Product card is a temporary activation key (my take away) Once you have activated that using an email address, your actual Product Key is listed on your Microsoft account 'my account' page. You get to it via the I want to install Office I have a disk what is my Product Key link which is appropriate to the Date that you first activated that particular Product Key. You need to keep a record of what PC you install which Product Key on, using Which email address. Because, the Product Key is locked to the email address and (apparently) the hardware configuration.
There is a lot more to it than that, but you'd probably be better off spending your time searching for an alternative product. It is because of ignorant decisions like these, and Microsoft's lack of understanding about it's customer's that I have moved many clients away from not only their Office package, but their operating system as well. One client has replace all 30 windows desktops and office with Mac's and Libre' Office, which is free. They have had '0' problems since the switch.
I'm not a Mac fan, but more and more, I see Microsoft in it's death throws, and it's because they treat their customer's like a herd of sheep. Microsoft is dead. After 20 years of making a living off of their products, I've come to the conclusion that it's time to get out of the stone age, and start making my living by supporting Apple products instead.

Each user will have 5 activations and as long as they have separate user profiles you can set this up once and as the use the Office applications they will be required to login at least once a month to keep it activated without login prompts. This really shines with SSO and ADFS / AD Sync. Report back if you need more. Microsoft is going to push a LOT of Small Business clients away with this insanity.
No one should have to sign into an account to purchase Office software unless the intent of Microsoft is to invade the user's privacy. Like many others here I will be advising users away from Microsoft products like Microsoft Office to less cumbersome products in the open-source community, like LibreOffice, which has matured significantly since it forked from OpenOffice.org..

This really shines with SSO and ADFS / AD Sync. Report back if you need more. We don't want Microsoft accounts, we want to activate and use the software we legally paid for without the constant reminders to login to Microsoft. Some of our laptops are used literally 'in the field' where there is no internet connection! Don't you see a problem with this? Just stumbled upon yet another issues with this crap. I installed Office 2016 H&B on a PC end of January 2016.
The PC was stored since then. Now, probably since it wasnt used for so long, Office wants to activate again. It asks for the Office account and password, but then it shows me a list of all the licences that are linked to that account, but they dont show me the licence key, they are all named the same with (1), (2) and so on. How the hell am I suppose to chose the right one Microsoft? And I know that I can deactivate a perfectly good licence if I chose the wrong one. That shit should not be called Home and Business.or at least, a business with less than 10 PCs or something.
