Think of it as the Netflix of home computing. While it might take a while to get your head round an annual payment for software, the advantages are clear to see.

It also doesn’t get you OneDrive cloud storage, and you can’t use the apps on your phone or tablet - you must download Office to one PC or Mac and forever use it there. Unfortunately, that’s it - buying Office outright does not get you popular apps like Outlook for email or OneNote.

Buying Office Home & Student 2019 as a one-off purchase means you will forever have that edition of Office, and you won’t receive software updates to add new features or upgrade to the next year’s version. Office 365 does not have a year in its branding it as it is constantly updated.

To see Threat information, Windows devices must have Microsoft Defender Antivirus enabled. User data visibility in reports require at least Azure Active Directory Premium P1, which is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium. The ability to manage devices in each tenant relies on them being enrolled in Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM), formerly known as Intune. In my testing I found that tenants with other licensing SKUs did show up in the portal, but of course the available management options vary based on features enabled for each user/device account. It makes sense to focus on the SMB market to start with and requiring M365 Business Premium ensures a baseline of security features. Since Microsoft 365 Business tops out at 300 licenses, I think these are preview limitations only.

There are a few other limitations that I suspect will be changed at or after GA, such as each client tenant having at least one Microsoft 365 Business Premium license and having no more than 500 licensed users.

I suspect many small businesses simply allow their MSP to create one or more Global Admin accounts in their tenants for management, but DAP is the "official way" to have a service provider manage your tenant for you. Given that the CSP program has been around for quite a few years now and has been expanded to include not only cloud licensing but also on-premises perpetual licenses, I assume most Microsoft partners are already on board.įor each client that you want to manage, you must have Delegated Admin Privileges (DAP) authorized to you.
