      Wicked, that's what we want.

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

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

      The big benefit for me is per user licensing rather than per device.

      Exactly.

      So the choices are
      O365 user licensed (5 computers and 5 mobile devices) or
      VL or FPP licensed per device.

      Exactly

        And do companies typically allow employees to install on their home devices? Or is that a no-no?

        Say if they really only needed 1 at work.

          There is no versus. O365 is subscription licensing from MS. Office 2013 & Current 2016 etc 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.

                  it would be pretty hard for them to prevent users from installing at home. Though when the company tells you to log into a device, you had probably have a license available for your work device, or you have some 'splainin' to do Lucy!.

                    Yes.

                    My God it's awful, it looked cool, but wow is it bad in reality.

                    It's so easy to make it look ugly, along with the really really slow performance.

                    This is a half baked add-on to the 365 world.

                          This was...30 minutes of work, and I could not get it to behave, so I gave up.

                          I can build a responsive, looks exactly what I want website page, sway is hard work.

                            Nah - I'm sure that's the whole reason MS made it 5 per user.

                            In the sorta olden' days, if you had Volume License Office with Software Assurance - MS would let you users buy the same version of Office for home use for $10.. it was called the Home Use Program - HUP.

                              You can prevent users from downloading/installing

                                @Jason And up to about a year ago, I believe, IT/O365 admins were not able to access the page with which devices a user had installed Office onto. I found that quite odd and nonsensical.

                                  That doesn't surprise me... the designers didn't think the IT staff would care about that.. they found out they were wrong, added it to the feature request list and eventually added it.

                                      Too few? I think most users probably have at least 5.

                                          Yes, not including their mobile devices. I think they get another five of those. It's five desktops, laptops, etc. Pretty extensive.

                                            Right but like for us, there is only 1 device, so it would be nice to extend that to the employees for home use.

                                            Just making sure this isn't a non-best-practice rookie-IT no-no. 🙂

                                            Nah - I'm sure that's the whole reason MS made it 5 per user.

                                            In the sorta olden' days, if you had Volume License Office with Software Assurance - MS would let you users buy the same version of Office for home use for $10.. it was called the Home Use Program - HUP.

                                            5 devices per user? really? 😄

                                            Yes, not including their mobile devices. I think they get another five of those. It's five desktops, laptops, etc. Pretty extensive.

                                            That's crazy.
