It includes the latest versions of essential productivity apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. The fully installed apps allow offline work with cloud syncing via OneDrive, ensuring your documents and emails stay updated across devices. Regular automatic updates keep your tools cutting-edge, while a simple key card activation makes setup quick and easy. ## Description Office 365 comes fully loaded with the latest and greatest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook and more, downloaded directly to your favorite devices. You can keep working even if you are not online. All the tools you know and love, now built for even greater productivity and collaboration. Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites and all Office 365 subscription plans. For Office 365 plans, Internet access is also needed to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office on other PCs or to change billing options. Internet access is also required to access documents stored on OneDrive, unless you install the OneDrive desktop app. You should also connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up to date and benefit from automatic upgrades. If you do not connect to the Internet at least every 31 days, your applications will go into reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print your documents, but cannot edit the documents or create new ones. To reactivate your Office applications, simply reconnect to the Internet. You do not need to be connected to the Internet to use the Office applications, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, because the applications are fully installed on your computer. Review: If you like MS office,this is an easy way to purchase it and stay current - Office is what it is, which is to say it is a good effort at doing a lot of pretty important stuff. The switch from Office 2010 was easy, with none of the gotcha's that often occur during an update. The new delivery mode -- subscription, rather than purchase a product -- was uneventful, which is as it should be. Is helpful that a "free" version is available for the iPad/iPhone, and I've had no difficulty transferring data between the two platforms without losing formatting and such. IOS support for my iPad is adequate, and is somewhat better with the recent upgrade (11/6/2014). By "adequate" I mean the following: it is not nearly as robust an interface as you get with the Windows version. I particularly miss being able to use keystroke combinations rather than click-and-point. Hopefully that capability will carry over in the next upgrade. That being said, I don't do heavy-duty work on my iPad, and the IOS functionality is good enough for note taking using Word, for viewing PowerPoint displays, and so forth . In other words, it is fine for consuming information, but is limited in its ability to easily create it. Comparing individual apps in Office to the ones that come from Apple, my conclusion is that the Office apps have greater functionality but the ones from Apple are, no surprise here, more elegant. Upgrades come smoothly via the web. I think the subscription model will be useful for me. Review: Easy to use and you get many products with your subscription - I have always used Microsoft Office products and when they switched over to the subscription based approach, I wasn't sure if I would like that. Well it turns out that it's not so bad as you always stay up to date. If you like the idea of just buying it once then this isn't for you. They still sell it so that you can install it on one PC (or tablet) so you would have to buy it for every device. The subscription based version has a one PC/Tablet or 5 PC/Tablet option. As far as the products included, they have thus far worked just as expected. ## Features - The latest versions of: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access - Get all the latest email, scheduling, and task tools for the entire household - Incorporate content from PDFs into Word documents quickly and easily ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HV9IM58 | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (2,140) | | Date First Available | January 15, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | QQ2- 00682 | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Product Dimensions | 0.79 x 4.37 x 5.79 inches; 0.63 ounces | ## Images ![Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 1-year subscription, 1 user, PC/Mac Key Card - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mnDSRjYjL.jpg) ![Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 1-year subscription, 1 user, PC/Mac Key Card - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LS24fiauL.jpg) ![Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 1-year subscription, 1 user, PC/Mac Key Card - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CXc5ksPTL.jpg) ![Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 1-year subscription, 1 user, PC/Mac Key Card - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oS7ZJae5L.jpg) ![Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 1-year subscription, 1 user, PC/Mac Key Card - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713G0Ln0PnL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the card expire? If I buy it now, can I use it next year?** A: There was no expiration date on it. However, I had two of these and you can "stack" them. After entering the first my subscription expired in 11/2015, then I entered the second and now my expiration date is 11/16. **Q: Hi. If I order this, will I gain access to the key right away, or do i have to wait for a physical card to activate?** A: I ordered Office365 and got the key in 4-5 days then I I could activate it; however, within a week (after working perfectly) Word, Excel, etc. stopped working and the blame was put on my Internet provider (too slow). I changed providers and supposedly it's still too slow. I think I got ripped off so beware...just my opinion.

Well it turns out that it's not so bad as you always stay up to date. If you like the idea of just buying it once then this isn't for you. They still sell it so that you can install it on one PC (or tablet) so you would have to buy it for every device. The subscription based version has a one PC/Tablet or 5 PC/Tablet option. As far as the products included, they have thus far worked just as expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What is all the squawking about? *by C***E on May 16, 2015* Office 365 is not software; it is a method of financing access to the latest Office products. Many of the 1, 2 and 3 star reviews seem to lack an understanding of that. To review the software here is inappropriate.That should be done by reviewing Office 2103, which is what you will get if you buy the Office 365 plan today. The promotional material could not be more clear that it is a subscription. So, if you don't like the subscription idea, don't buy it. You can stay with an older version of Office as long as you like, though it may in the long run become unsupported and you won't have any new features, or pay big one time bucks to periodically purchase what you need. (So far I like Office 2013, but will review that separately where it belongs.) I had been buying Office using Office Home and Student as a base and purchasing Outlook and Publisher separately.For what I do this seems a good deal at the current price. Buying the personal key card I got use of Office 2013 for my primary desktop, and a mobile device, which I probably won't use, for a year at about 1/8 the cost of purchasing the software outright. Would I have stayed with purchased software for more than 8 years? Unlikely. I will now always have the latest version of the applications that I regularly use, which is all but Access, plus I have Access if I ever need it. For me the download and install went easily and I like the new products, although I would like to have had the option not to install Access. Admittedly, I didn't have to try to go to Microsoft for help. So the source of purchase wasn't an issue, although by report it may have been for others, I also have a fast computer with high quality Internet service, so those aren't issues, although I find that the 2013 applications seem to run faster than 2007 from which I upgraded. If you have poor Internet service perhaps the One Drive cloud thing, which I will not use, could be a problem; I don't know. I have given only four stars because I don't have long experience with the Office 365 plan, nor does anyone else. The big question is, what will it cost to renew a year from now? If it's somewhere in the range of what I paid initially that will be ok. If it doubles or triples in price, not so, and I'll go back to what I had, or gradually purchase upgrades as in the past..
