The "Subscription idea" has many benefits

I’ve been a Microsoft Office user for years and at first was unsure of the idea of a ‘subscription’ to Office, but the more I read the details the better it sounded. If you purchased the regular home version of Office 2019 for $149.95 it would be for just one user’s devices, you get just three of the Office apps and of course no upgrades as the years go by and no storage space. The subscription provides SIX Office apps, plus Skype and one Terabyte of storage on OneDrive each for up to SIX different users with upgrades each month included all for $99.99 a year.
I had a chance to use the free Microsoft support feature with my subscription when installing Office 365. I had an issue with my Microsoft account. I opened chat and a VERY helpful agent plowed through all the details with me and got me up and running with efficiency and a sense of humor.
I had been using Microsoft Outlook 2010 on my computer and I was worried that when I upgraded to Office 365 I might lose all my saved emails in the transition. It was a needless worry. I removed Office 2010 which was on my machine (It was a 32-bit version and I installed the 64-bit version of 365 and the two didn’t play well together.) When I first opened my new version of Outlook I thought I was going to have to give it all my Comcast email details but lo and behold, all my emails were right there. It took care of everything behind the scenes.
Bottom line, it seems like a no-brainer to get the ‘subscription 365’ if you’ve been using Microsoft Office all along anyway. If you decide at the end of the year it wasn’t worth it, you could always cancel and go back to the version you’re using now.

Bought as a gift. Send the card / key code to me in mail. Scratched off and numbers could not be read. Called the squad. Transferred me three times and no one could help me. Told me I had to go back to the store. Horrible service and poor method to deliver your key code.

I hate this situation. I have always just purchased Microsoft Office. I think it is highway robbery to make you pay for it every year.

Being a Mac user I must purchase MS for Mac. I upgraded from Office 2011 to Office 365. MS support is just as horrible as always and now that MS owns Skype that is even worse support even if you pay for Skype. Sadly, having MS for Mac is needed
