Hey, if you can share your Netflix account, why not your Office account too? If you find a professional or a small business-person who uses the plan, you can ask them to add you to it. Speaking of the Microsoft 365 Home plan, you can ask around to see if you know anyone that already uses it. You can find Windows laptops that cost less than $500 that come bundled with a free Office 365 Home plan that can be shared with up to 6 users. Users also will have the choice of simply using older, existing versions of Office or to just use the free Office Web Apps on SkyDrive for basic editing.Yes, this is not the most cost-effective option, but if you’re shifting to working from home, or if you’re in the market for a new PC, you can look for ones that come with a Microsoft Office 365 subscription.

Users who want to regain their full Office capabilities will be able to purchase a new subscription (via ) or a set of predesignated retailers. Once the subscription expires, the Office apps will enter a 'read-only reduced functionality mode.' This means users will be able to view or print documents, but won't be able to create any new documents or edit existing documents. ( Office 365 Small Business Premium isn't 'launching' until February 27, Microsoft revealed on January 29.)įor users with an Office 365 Home Premium subscription, as the expiration date of that subscription approaches, users will receive notifications inside the Office applications and via e-mail to remind/nag users about the approaching expiration date. As of today's Office 365 Home Premium/Office 2013 launch, we now know a bit more as to how this will work - on the Home Premium side of things, at least.
