      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

        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.

          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?

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

                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.

                Ohhhhhhhhhh.

                Well that's dumb.

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

                Which is what exactly?

                  Exactly.

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

                      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.

                                  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.

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

                                        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.
