Use Office 365 For Mac

I was recently asked by a client to explain how Office 365’s applications (Word, Excel, etc.) are installed & used by a Apple Macintosh owner. • What’s the difference between Office 365 and just plain old Office for Mac? I’ve documented the differences below, however the biggest difference is that with Office 365, you always get the latest versions of the MacOffice applications at no extra cost – which is especially important for Mac users since Microsoft is going to release a new version later this year.

() With Office 365 you get to install the Office suite of applications on up to 5 PCs or Macs (or any combination of the two) for only $99/year. This is a subscription that must be renewed every year to continue using Office, as opposed to Office for Mac 2011 which is a one-time fee, however you are not eligible for functionality updates – only security patches – and you will need to re-purchase the software when we release Office 2016 for Mac. • Are the bits for Office 365 stored on the local Mac? Yes, “Office 365 for the Mac” is completely installed on the local Mac for offline use (i.e. On an airplane) just as it is for “Office for Mac 2011”, however when a network connection is available, Office 365 for Mac has the added benefit of checking for security patches, feature updates & new version releases to upgrade to.

For Office for Mac, you can have up to 25 licenses associated with the same Microsoft account: only one license for an Office 365 subscription and multiple one-time-use installs of Office for Mac Home and Student or Home and Business. If you have multiple Mac licenses associated with the same Microsoft account, it's best to start with an Office 365 subscription. A one-time-use license can not be deactivated.

If you don’t have an Office 365 subscription, start by using the license at the top of the list and moving your way down. There isn't a way to track your one-time licenses so we recommend you keep a list as to which license is activated on which device. If you don’t remember which license was used, you'll have to go through a process of elimination to determine which ones you've used so far.
