Microsoft: OK, Office 365 sellers – you can be customers' 'first contact' Microsoft has relinquished more control over the way third-party suppliers can manage Office 365 and Windows InTune punters, finally making the channel the "first point of contact" for customers. It is now three years since the online productivity suite hit the streets. It took two years until Microsoft would allow third-party …
Actually you will need to pay for Office366 (henceforth "The Product") annually, which grants you the right to use The Product during a year that contains 366 days. Should a year contain less than 366 days, a full license to use The Product is still required. As The Product is licensed as a single package, no licenses for 365 day use will be issued. Users maintaining a license for Office365 will have their subscriptions updated automatically in the background. This upgrade will take place during the first year containing 366 days in the cycle and will not inform the user at all during the upgrade process. As the year of upgrade application will contain 366 days, Office365 users who resist the upgrade will have their licenses expire on a random day of the year, and our cloud system will do its best to irrevocably delete their documents. And buying an Office366 license 'post facto' will not bring them back.
Nothing in the above should be implied as a suggestion or hope that our authentication servers will actually be available for use 366 days a year.
This is great news. We have been working with 16 syndicators for the last 8 years and have been waiting for this decision. Now it is going to get fun
