Office 365 Personal and Home to lift device install limits in October

Office 365 is preparing to lift its device limit restriction in Oct for Home and Personal subscribers. As things currently operate, Home subscribers are limited to installing Function apps on ten devices, while Personal users can but install them on one. Starting October 2, these limits are going away, albeit with a couple of caveats.

While yous'll be able to install Role on an unlimited number of devices with any Home, Personal, or Academy account, you'll simply be able to stay signed in to up to 5 devices at a time. If you lot try to sign into a 6th device, you'll be prompted to sign out of another one before you lot can continue, according to Microsoft'due south FAQ on the alter. Essentially, you'll lose out on some subscription features on devices where yous're signed out, so you lot'll want to stay signed in on the ones you use the most.

In addition to the abolition of device limits, Office 365 Home subscribers are getting an added bonus. The subscription currently allows y'all to acquire licenses for upward to five people. On October 2, the license limit will aggrandize to six, allowing you to share benefits with another person at the same price. Each person will proceed to receive licenses for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Subscriptions also include 1TB of OneDrive storage for each person.

Role 365 subscriptions are available through Microsoft at a cost of $99.99 per year for Home or $69.99 per year for Personal.
