I need office on my computer as my trial runs out very soon.. I want the cheapest package, which I believe is 365 personal which is £5.99 per month. I'm confused though, as office 365 is a cloud service does this mean I wont be able to install the office programs such as word, excel etc. locally?

 

I bought Office 2016 home and student £120, pretty cheap.

You can also get 30 day eval.

 

I was looking at the business subscription but thought it was exclusive to businesses, will be getting this version. I'm sure I read that you have to commit to a year subscription of it though?

 

Yes, it's a year commitment to the subscription.
The fact that it's licensed via a 'cloud' subscription only means that your license is checked against that subscription. The actual software is installed locally via the Click-to-run mechanism, you have the full local install and don't need to be connected to use.

Similar to Sparky I have an enterprise sub for playing around, although I don't have Office with mine, just my mail accounts and sharepoint etc.

 

i paid £35 for the year for a pre-paid code from curry's for a mate of mine.

Lets you download and install apps as usual, takes a while to do so mind you - but works well.

 

Like Sparky, I use the O365 business account which comes with Exchange, Sharepoint and the option of downloading and using the latest version of office...

 

Ahh right I thought that was the case, I think I will get it as I'm focusing on learning 365 so may aswell. Its not that much when you think about it and I believe theres a saving if you buy a full year in one go. Thanks for the info
