What Is the Difference Between Microsoft 365 and Office 365?
In a nutshell, Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of productivity software that includes Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and others. On the other hand, Microsoft 365 is more of a service package that includes Office 365 as well as various other services such as Windows 10 Enterprise. There is also the fact that the Office 365 subscriptions do not include any of the additional Enterprise Mobility + Security solutions provided in Microsoft 365. Nonetheless, Office 365 Business Premium does have extraordinary capabilities that can support bills, client management, appointment scheduling, and other tasks.
Lastly, Office 365 plans are less expensive than Microsoft 365 plans in terms of cost. Plans start from $5/month for Office 365 and go up to $12.50/month per user.
Is There A Limit To The Number Of Devices That I Can Install Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 can be installed on all of your devices but you can only log in to a maximum of 5 devices at a time. Various devices like PCs, Macs, iPads, and smartphones are eligible. To keep your account sign-in limit under control, the Office automatically signs you out from other devices if the number goes beyond 5. To use Office on a device where you’ve already logged out, simply sign back in.
The Office stays operational as long as you are logged in. The moment you sign out, your account license is erased and the app disabled. You can only browse and print files but you cannot create or change them.
