For under\u00a0\u00a380 a year (or just under \u00a38 a month), I can get a legal copy of Office on all of my family&#8217;s PCs, my Mac, and our other devices (up to 5 PCs\/Macs, 5 tablets, and 5 phones). \u00a0Those who do have HUP rights may still be better off, depending on the number of PCs they use and the number of copies of Office they need to buy at \u00a39.95 each, although, with the launch of Office 2016 next week, my PCs will get updated to the latest copy &#8211; without me having to go out and purchase upgrades. \u00a0And, should I remove Office from a PC (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2015\/09\/using-the-lenovo-b50-all-in-one-pc-as-an-external-monitor.htm\">the demo PC I have on loan at the moment<\/a>), then the license goes back into the pool for me to deploy again elsewhere (I wasn&#8217;t sure if that would be the case, so I checked with Microsoft).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a really good deal (cheaper than\u00a0upgrading my Office 365 E1 plan to an E3 &#8211; although that would give me some extra benefits too) but\u00a0it&#8217;s not just Office either.\u00a0We each get 60 free Skype\u00a0minutes a month (could come in handy for calling our friends who recently moved to Australia!) and our OneDrives (I&#8217;ve recently given the kids OneDrives too so their files\u00a0are backed up to the cloud if something happens to the family computer again&#8230;) are now each upgraded to 1TB of cloud storage.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely, although it&#8217;s branded Office 365, everything is linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2015\/02\/microsoft-accounts-vs-microsofts-organizational-accounts.htm\">Microsoft accounts (not work or school accounts &#8211; previously known as organisational accounts)<\/a>, but I guess that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a consumer product.
