A: First of all you can just buy it and not pay for it every year, or go to a Google Chromebook and use google docs.
A: They really need to be clear and up-front about this -- you are not purchasing the software, you're renting it! You pay each year for renewal. At a price to be determined ...
Q: So does that mean when 12 months is up it automatically renews
A: When I activated my subscription, I was given the option to enable auto-renew so I don't think it is mandatory. As a bonus, I was offered one extra month free if I did enable auto-renew and saw that it is possible to disable the auto-renew option afterwards if you don't actually want it to auto-renew. This is an easy way to gain an extra month. Don't let the auto-renew portion of the title scare you away from this product.
A: I was still able to access. But didn't get any future updates
Q: How much does it cost to purchase the software out right?
A: One of the things you have to be aware of, is if you buy Office 2016 Home/Student, it DOES NOT come with Outlook. You need either Office 365 subscription or the Office 2016 Home and Business which is much more costly. If you don't care about Outlook, there are a number of free programs compatible with Microsoft products that are free. Open Office is one that is quite nice and files are kept on your PC and many like Google Docs if you like to keep things in the cloud.
A: Yes you can use on 3 devices if I'm not mistaken and unless they raise the price it will be $69 per year
A: Yes, you both should be able to use the same subscription, but it may only be in one login as opposed to two of them (in other words, you both need the same login no matter what device you use).
A: You can open files that you create but can make no changes to it for approximately one month. Then it begins to be more and more difficult to view or even open the files.
