      Not limited, it's online. Different products. I could equally call the on premises limited because you have to install it. What matters is that they are two different things, not one being a crippled version of the other.

      What I mean is that I also have the $5 plan, and the online versions they give you are limited in what they can do.

      For example, you can't freeze panes in Excel. You have to use desktop Excel for that.

      Well sure - but as Scott said - they are their own product. Sure they share the name Excel - but it's Online Excel, versus locally installed Excel.

      and those features will come, it's just going to take time.

        I thought they had two different versions.

        A "free" version that had less features, a a version that came with the desktop-install packages that was basically the same as the desktop versions.

        This is wrong?

          Or are you saying the "Office Online" they give you in the $5 is the same they give you in the higher priced package that includes desktop installs?

          yep, saying that too. The online versions are the same no matter what package you buy that includes them.

          There's no crippled version of the online apps.

            Well that's dumb.

            My goal to be ML-compliant and get away from local stuff is getting harder and harder each day!

              What I like about O365 subscription is you get to license Office Apps per User rather than per device.

                  Alright - y'all are awesome, but I need a round up for all this info.

                  • We have users working with limited or no internet often. What version of O365 comes with local installs?

                  • Are there any cloud storage components I should be aware of? (our data can't leave Canada for reasons)

                  • If the online version does send data to hell and gone is it possible to have only a local install and block the online logins?

                  • Can you get a version that's local only and save money? We host our own exchange ducks to avoid incomming abuse

                      All I have on Office 365 is the Office Pro Plus plan. It only includes the Local Apps, no storage, no exchange, no sharepoint. You have to login with the O365 credentials the first install, then once every 30 days it needs internet access to verify the license

                        I'm concerned about the 30 day call home to the mothership thing. I will need to consult with others about that.

                          Yea, since it is a subscription service, they have to have some way to revoke the license once cancelled.

                            If you want none of the online component ... why not just get a physical copy?

                                  VL or FPP licensed per device.

                                          Ok thank you - so it's nothing like google's browser based offerings? Still install as usual and go?

                                          Not quite, the C2R installer you'll have to create an download/install file.

                                            There is no versus. O365 is subscription licensing from MS. Office 2013 is available via volume pricing, the "card" retail way or subscription from O365. All the same product, just three different ways to pay.

                                            Ok thank you - so it's nothing like google's browser based offerings? Still install as usual and go?

                                            Not quite, the C2R installer you'll have to create an download/install file.

                                            Actually there are browser based apps too. None of which require installs.
