FAQ – Frequent Asked Questions

What is the size for OneDrive?

1Tb per user. However, you can request from your Microsoft 365 Administrator up to 5Tb for Onedrive storage in new Microsoft hosted services.

What is Microsoft 365 (M365)? How is it different from Microsoft Office?

M365 refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Lync web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business and additional online storage with OneDrive and Skype world minutes for home.

Many M365 plans also include the desktop version of the latest Office applications, which users can install across multiple computers and devices. The M365 plans that are online-only are a great choice for certain business needs, and they are compatible with desktop versions of the latest version of Office, Office 2010, Office 2007 (with slightly limited functionality), Office 2011 for Mac, and Office 2008 for Mac.

All plans are paid for on a subscription basis, monthly or annually.

“Microsoft Office” is the name we still use for our familiar productivity software. Office suites have traditionally included applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. All the new Office suites (for example, Office Standard 2013) include the latest versions of these applications. These suites can be installed on one PC only and do not come with any cloud-based services included in M365.

 

How many users does Microsoft 365 (M365) support?

  • It is highly scalable and can support from a one-person business to companies with tens of thousands of users.

  • M365 Business Basic and M365 Business Standard plans can accommodate up to 300 users.

  • M365 Enterprise E1, Office 365 ProPlus, Office 365 Enterprise E3, Office 365 Enterprise E4, Exchange Online Kiosk, Office 365 Enterprise K1 can accommodate an unlimited number of users.

 

 

Will Microsoft 365 work with my copy of Office?

Microsoft  365 works best with the latest version of Office, Office 2010, and Office 2011 for Mac. Microsoft 365 works with Office 2007 with slightly limited functionality. If you have an earlier edition of Office, you will need to update to a newer version of Office in order to use Office 365; or you can subscribe to one of the many Office 365 plans that include the latest version of Office. In addition to getting the latest version of Office as part of your subscription, you will also get automatic updates, so your Office will always be up to date.

Is Internet access required for Microsoft 365?

Internet access is required to install and activate all Microsoft 365 plans and to manage your subscription account. Internet connectivity is also required to access Microsoft 365 cloud productivity services, including email, conferencing, IT management, and other services.

Many Microsoft 365 plans also include the desktop version of Office, for example, Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Office 365 Enterprise E3. One of the benefits of having the desktop version of Office applications is that you can work offline and have the confidence that the next time you connect to the Internet all your work will automatically sync, so you never have to worry about your documents being up to date. Your desktop version of Office is also automatically kept up to date and upgraded when you connect to the Internet, so you always have the latest tools to help you work.

What do I need to install when I sign up for Microsoft 365?

You don’t need to install anything in order to use Microsoft 365.

To easily connect your desktop version of Office 2010 and 2007 to Microsoft  365, Microsoft provides Microsoft 365 customers with an installable piece of software – called Office desktop setup – at no charge.

Office desktop setup provides many benefits, including:

  • Automatically detecting necessary updates.

  • Installing updates and components upon approval or silently from a command line.

  • Automatically configuring Outlook and Microsoft Lync for use with Microsoft 365.

  • Uninstalling itself from the client computer after running.

You can find and install Office desktop setup in your Microsoft 365 administration center.

If your plan includes a subscription to Office 2013 applications, you will also be able to install that directly from the Office 365 administration center.

Are there any minimum purchase requirements?

You need to purchase only one M365 seat license. You will be able to install Office desktop applications on up to 5 computers and access your account with all the available web applications online from any web-enabled device.

 

Will my trial information be transferred to my Microsoft 365 subscription?

Yes. If you purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription with the same number of user accounts you created by the end of your free trial, the information and configuration for these users’ accounts will remain intact. Once your free trial expires, you won’t be able to continue trialling Microsoft 365. You will have an additional 30 days to purchase Microsoft 365 before your account information is erased. Once your trial account information has been erased, it cannot be retrieved.

Does Microsoft 365 work on a Blackberry?

If your enterprise uses BlackBerry Business Cloud Service, Microsoft 365 is available on BlackBerry smartphones.

Who should I contact if I have questions?

In case you have questions about usage, have specific issues or any kind of trouble, you can contact us or Microsoft support.

 

What happens to my data if I cancel my Microsoft 365 subscription?

Your data is yours. If you decide to cancel your M365 subscription, you can download your data – for example, your email and documents on team sites – and save it to another location. You should save your data before you cancel. All the data associated with your M365 account is deleted 90 days after cancellation.

 

Can I switch to other plans?

You can transit your account within families of plans, for example, from Microsoft 365 Business Basic to Business Standard, or from Office 365 Enterprise E1 to Office 365 Enterprise E3. You cannot transit between Microsoft 365 plan families, that is, from a Microsoft 365 Business Basic plan to Office 365 Enterprise plan, or vice versa. In order to change from a plan in one family to another (for example, from a Business Essential plan to the Enterprise plan, you must first cancel your account with the plan you currently have, and then sign up for a different one.
