Bought my daughter a new laptop last year for her college work and with it came office 365. About 6 weeks ago it started telling her it was time to renew her subscription. I wasn't aware we had to pay out to renew every 12 months, is this correct ??
Microsoft Office 365
- Thread starter Humph
- Start date
Office 365 is a subscription service so the message is correct. Some other options that could be considered:
OpenOffice (as mentioned).
Libre Office (similar to OpenOffice).
MS Office Home and Student 2016 (about £95)
A couple of online office suites you could look into using:
MS Office Online.
Google Docs.
My own preference is for MS Office Home and Student 2016 but the other options are also good and worth considering.

I'd be interested to learn what advantages Office 365 has, bearing in mind that you are obliged to pay for its use every year.
I bought Office 2007 and that's it. No further payments. I also have (the free) LibreOffice, which I obtained more recently. I use MS Office purely because I am used to it, but I have experimented with LibreOffice and, to be honest, have found it able to do everything I can do with MS Office.

if your daughter is a student she can get a 4 year office 365 license for £60!

if you work at a large blue chip company (or know someone who does) you can get big discounts as well from their HUP web site.
you only need a coporate email address to get this deal, hence why someone can get it for you
