I recently purchased Office 365 personal license from Amazon India for an offer price of 2300 after applying Prime Savings, Amazon Pay cashback, and NO Cost EMI on debit card. I was paying monthly for the Office services from the past years, and this deal saves me around 1500 INR. Since I bought Office 365 in this year, I’m eligible for downloading Office 2019 applications like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. I also get 1 TB of OneDrive storage. If you don’t use office apps, you may still consider buying Office 365 for 1 TB of OneDrive storage, which is probably the lowest in industry. If you buy the Office 365 product key, you may activate the software in Windows PC, Mac, and mobile devices like iPhone and Android. Here I’m sharing my experience of activate Office 365 online and downloading offline installers for Windows [ISO], and macOS [PKG].
Difference between office 365 and Office 2019
The main difference between Office 365 and Office is the pricing, the availability of cloud applications like OneDrive and Outlook.com premium, etc. and the free Skype credits. You can pay monthly or yearly for Office 365 subscription, but Office 2019 requires only a one-time payment. I chose Office 365 as I wanted the OneDrive and integrated online solutions. Coming to the pricing Office 365 is available in Amazon India for 3500 (without an offer) and Office 2019 costs 19000 INR. Office 2019 offers a lifetime activation for all included apps until the end of the support, likely until 2025.
