Windows 10: If I get Office 365 and company stops using that service what happens?

Do these apps stay active on my PC or laptop? Do I continue to get updates?

Company is thinking of switching away. Just wondering.

Wp8 office 365 and Account Logins

Your company Office 365 account is just that, an Office 365 service account. It is not a Microsoft account.

Since the Office 365 account is not a Microsoft account ( anything that ends with live.com, outlook.com and msn.com and other microsoft .com accounts is considered a Microsoft account) it will not work on your windowsphone.

I hope that clears everything up for you

 

My company e-mail address and password will not work while setting up Cortana, even tho' the verbiage says 'any' Microsoft account.

Original Title: Cortana and Office 365 Online

While most are presenting problems, I believe mine is more fundamental. My company uses Microsoft Office 365 Online. My company e-mail address and password will not work while setting up Cortana, even tho' the verbiage says 'any' Microsoft account. I discovered
that I created 'Live' account sometime ago and that works? Why will my Office 365 Online credentials not work. I am talking about:

L: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** which subscribes to Microsoft services. But, the live account
L: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** works.

 

Don't the apps stop working as the licence is revoked once the monthly payment is stopped, they check the licence servers when started afaik and only run if a valid licence is found.

 

No it will expire once the company susbcription ends.

You can reactivate it if you buy you own subscription without reinstalling.

It is not that expensive - for around £80 per annum, you get a five user licence and 1TB of onedrive storage space per user. Actually this is a great deal. You can buy a 1 user licence for £60 which is cheaper but the 5 user licence come into its own if you have family members or friends or more than one PC).

 

just curious would the software still function without internet connection all the time i spend allot of time out to sea without a connection would i be able to save all files locally? then connect to net once in port?

 

If I read the requirements correctly..........you do need to go on line once a month to keep the software licensed and updated........

Other than that you will be able use use all the included programs off-line on your system.......
