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!.
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.

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.

O365 user licensed (5 computers and 5 mobile devices) or
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.

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.

Tablet, cell phone don't count.
It's work laptop, work desktop, home laptop, home desktop and "desktop at in laws" or something like that that is more likely for most people.

No I think based on what SAM just said that is more than enough.

They want it to extend to home. It's not as good as it sounds. I keep multiple homes with desktops in them, so I can use up five really quickly.

And there's Scott pissin' on an awesome thing again
Those who can afford multiple homes can afford multiple licenses.This is way better than it used to be, a license for every desktop/laptop combo.

bo.Those that can still don't want to have to remember multiple accounts and manage them separately though. It makes it lack SSO.

You definitely have a point - No clue what the solution to it might be.

I noticed that I can have 10 devices for my O365 account. Maybe because I am the Admin?
