Office 365 2020
One of the keys to Microsoft’s success in recent years has been the steadily rising adoption of its Office 365 subscription service – Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, Microsoft is choosing to remake Office apps into a subscription company where customers rent rather than buy the software. Today, one out of every five corporate employees uses a version of Office cloud service and Office 365 is the most widely used cloud service by user count and market share on Windows and Mac.
– each of the SIX users can sign-in to Office software on five devices at the same time. Office 365 University (no longer sold) – one user who can sign-in to Office software on five devices at the same time. More than five sign-ins. If you sign-in to Office with your account on a sixth device, there was a ‘limit reached’ message. This means that your Office 365 subscription will automatically be renamed to Microsoft 365. Get everything you love about Office 365, plus additional benefits as they are released, all at the same price. No action is needed from your end. Changes began April 21, 2020.

Microsoft Teams user activity skyrocketed during the lockdown, reaching 44 million active users by March 2020 and by April had amounted 75 million users, surpassing Zoom from February to June.
Whether those new users stayed is unknown, as Microsoft hasn’t provided Teams revenue statistics. Since April, Teams has been silent on user statistics, indicating that April may have been the peak month for usage data.
Microsoft has also been sheepish about how many of those new users – the majority of which may have been on the Office 365 home free version or using a free trial – have turned into paying subscribers.
Teams saw a 2.1 billion monthly user level rise in the number of meetings per day in March
