What Is Office 365 ProPlus?
The Office applications are Microsoft’s most widely used client applications for business. They enable document editing, data access and manipulation, working with e-mail and calendars, presentations, and collaboration on Windows PCs, Macs, and mobile devices. Office 365 ProPlus subscriptions license Office applications on a Per-User subscription basis. For PCs, Office 365 ProPlus is a suite that includes Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Skype for Business (client), and Word. The applications are installed and run locally on-premises.
Office 365 subscriptions that include ProPlus also include rights to related services and software:
Office Online, Microsoft-hosted applications that enable users to create and edit Office documents from a browser, without Office installed on the client. They deliver only a small subset of Office capabilities but can be useful on tablets and other computers where Office is not installed. (See the sidebar “Office Online and Office Online Server“.)
