• Microsoft Office For Mac Unlimited License Plate

Aug 31, 2018  The upgrade to unlimited devices applies to both Office 365 Home and Personal subscribers, the latter of which was previously limited to one PC or Mac and one tablet. Microsoft is also increasing the number of licenses it provides to Office 365 subscribers. Sep 16, 2012  Does this count as the 3rd license or still count as the same license that I used on the same Mac? This is a bit confusing when explaining by words - but my MBP had a license of Microsoft Office then after I changed the HD, when opening the same files on the new HD, it asks for license on the Office document which I entered the same key again.

Important

Office 365 ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. To learn more about this name change, read this blog post.

For details of when this change takes effect, and what actions admins might need to take, read this article.

To deploy Office 365 ProPlus to users in your organization, you start by assigning licenses to your users. Then, each user can install Office 365 ProPlus on up to five computers. Each installation is activated and kept activated automatically by cloud-based services associated with Office 365. This means you don't have to keep track of product keys. It also means you don't have to figure out how to use other activation methods such as Key Management Service (KMS) or Multiple Activation Key (MAK). All you have to do is make sure you purchase enough licenses, keep your Office 365 subscription current, and make sure your users can connect to Office Licensing Service via the Internet at least once every 30 days.

Note

The information in this article also applies to Project Online Desktop Client and Visio Online Plan 2 (previously named Visio Pro for Office 365), which are licensed separately from Office 365 ProPlus.

Licensing Office 365 ProPlus

The number of available licenses available for Office 365 ProPlus depends on your organization's Office 365 subscription level. To assign a license to a user, you select a check box on the licenses page for the user's account.

After that's done, the user can install Office directly from the Office 365 portal or you can deploy Office to your users from your local network. If the user hasn't been assigned a license, the user can't install Office from the Office 365 portal.

You can remove a user's license (for example, if the user leaves your organization). After you do this, any installations of Office 365 ProPlus that the user had go into reduced functionality mode. The Office Licensing Service, a part of Office 365, keeps track of which users are licensed and how many computers they've installed Office on.

Activating Office 365 ProPlus

As part of the installation process, Office 365 ProPlus communicates with the Office Licensing Service and the Activation and Validation Service to obtain and activate a product key. Each day, or each time the user logs on to their computer, the computer connects to the Activation and Validation Service to verify the license status and extend the product key. As long as the computer can connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days, Office remains fully functional. If the computer goes offline for more than 30 days, Office enters reduced functionality mode until the next time a connection can be made. To get Office fully functional again, usually a user can simply connect to the Internet and let the Activation and Validation Service reactivate the installation.

Important

Because of its online activation features, Office 365 ProPlus won't work on computers that are completely cut off from the Internet. For those computers, we recommend installing Office Professional Plus 2019 and using a traditional activation method such as Key Management Service (KMS) or Active Directory Domain Services.

Managing activated installations

Each Office 365 ProPlus license allows a user to install Office on up to five computers. The user manages installations in the Office 365 portal:

If the user decides to install Office 365 ProPlus on a sixth computer, she will need to deactivate one of the first five. Office 365 ProPlus goes into reduced functionality mode on the deactivated computer.

What is reduced functionality mode?

In reduced functionality mode, Office 365 ProPlus remains installed on the computer, but users can only view and print their documents. All features for editing or creating new documents are disabled, and the user sees a message like the following:

The user can then choose one of the available options to reactivate Office 365 ProPlus on that computer.

If the user hasn't been assigned a license, and they try to use Office 365 ProPlus on a computer where it's installed, Office will be in reduced functionality mode. Also, the user will be prompted to sign in and activate every time they open an Office app, such as Word or Excel.

Microsoft will be making its Office 365 more flexible come this fall as it replaces the current 10 device limit for Home and two device limit for Personal subscriptions with unlimited device use.

Microsoft shared the news today in a community blog post (via The Verge). The new unlimited device access will be for Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscriptions. Previously, subscriptions were limited to 10 devices across five users for Home and one Mac and one iPad for Office 365 Personal.

Starting October 2, subscribers can install Office on an unlimited number of devices—and be signed into their accounts on up to five of those devices at the same time.

Microsoft is also increasing the user limit from five to six along with the unlimited device update for Office 365 Home. It touted its cloud storage for each user as well.

we’re increasing the number of licenses in a Home subscription from 5 to 6. That’s right: we’re adding an additional person to the subscription with no change in price. To be clear, that’s 6 people with their own license and 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage each—for a total of 6 TB.
