In our experience many organizations failed to take advantage of this right, particularly for Microsoft Office for a number of reasons: This allows customers to upgrade to the latest version of the product during the period of the agreement. One of the main attractions of an Enterprise Agreement for organizations was the “New Version Rights”. The main difference between the Enterprise and ProPlus plans is the ability to host email in the cloud, which is not supported with Office 365 ProPlus.

Office 365 is offered in different plans – Office 365 Enterprise E1/E3/E5 or Office 365 ProPlus. With an Office 365 User Subscription License, a User may install Office 365 ProPlus locally, or access Office via a web Browser (). These devices may include company managed devices and employee personal devices. Office 365 licensing treats physical and virtual OSEs the same, so the five concurrent activations may be on five different devices or multiple OSEs on one device.

The Licensed User may activate the software for local or remote use on up to five concurrent operating system environments (OSEs). The Office 365 User Subscription License allows Licensed Users to access Office experiences on PCs or Macs and on their mobile devices. This differs from traditional Office installations (such as Office 2019) which are tied to Licensed Devices. Each Office 365 User Subscription License (User SL) must be assigned to a single named user (Licensed User) before using the software. Office 365 is a subscription service offering under the online services licensing model. This gives the organization a number of benefits but also some challenges in relation to the use and maintenance of the software. More and more Microsoft customers are moving from a device-based Office license to User subscription Licenses via Office 365. What are the benefits of Office 365 licensing?
