Microsoft 365 Apps for Business – Annual Subscription for 1 User

The Microsoft 365 Apps for Business license, with an annual per-user subscription, suits companies that already have a separate email solution and only need fully installed Office applications. It is a common choice for businesses using a different email hosting provider or their own server, but wanting stable access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook across multiple devices. It's an efficient option for companies looking for Office productivity alone, without additional communication services.

The package provides the desktop applications Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, fully installed and automatically updated with new capabilities as they become available. A single license covers 5 phones, 5 tablets, and 5 PCs or Macs per user, allowing work across any combination of work or personal devices without extra per-device costs.

File storage and sharing run on 1 TB of OneDrive space per user, with synchronization across devices and secure access to documents. The license is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 SP1, and the two most recent macOS versions, with all languages included, simplifying rollout across international or multilingual teams.

This license is recommended for companies that already have their own or separate email infrastructure and only need locally installed Office applications, as well as mobile teams working across phone, tablet, and laptop in parallel. It's useful for organizations with employees using both Windows and macOS, and for businesses looking to avoid separate per-device Office licensing costs while still getting continuous application updates.
