What is the difference between a Microsoft 365 subscription and a one-time Office perpetual licence?

Microsoft 365 is a subscription that includes ongoing feature and security updates, 1 TB of OneDrive storage per user and installs across several devices. A perpetual licence, such as Office 2021 or the current Office 2024 release, is a one-time purchase for a single PC or Mac that keeps getting security fixes but no new features. Choose 365 if you want cloud storage, Copilot and always-current apps; choose a perpetual licence if you prefer to pay once and keep the same version.

Can I install Microsoft 365 or a perpetual Office licence on Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes. Both run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit, on Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processors) and on macOS with native Apple Silicon builds for M-series chips such as the M4, as well as Intel Macs. For the smoothest experience use an SSD and at least 8 GB of RAM. Microsoft supports the current and two previous macOS releases, so keep your Mac reasonably up to date.

How many devices or users does each licence cover?

Microsoft 365 Family covers up to six users and Personal covers one, with each user able to install on multiple PCs, Macs, tablets and phones. A perpetual Office licence, such as Office 2021 or Office 2024, is tied to one PC or Mac. Business plans typically let each user install on up to five PCs, five tablets and five phones.

Do South African customers get an instant download, and can they activate offline?

Yes, South African orders are delivered as an instant digital download with a product key, so there is nothing to ship. Activation is normally done online through a Microsoft account; offline phone activation is limited to certain volume-licence agreements, so a business that needs it should buy through volume licensing. Evetech is a South African reseller, which keeps billing and product support local.

Are there student or education discounts for Microsoft 365 in South Africa?

Yes. Eligible South African students and educators can access Microsoft 365 Education free or at a reduced rate by verifying a valid academic email address, typically an .ac.za or institution domain. Verification is handled directly with Microsoft during sign-up. Consumer and business licences for everyone else are available through authorised resellers such as Evetech.

Which Microsoft licence suits a small South African business needing email, desktop apps and 1 TB of storage?

Microsoft 365 Business Standard is the usual fit. It bundles the desktop Office apps, Exchange business email, 1 TB of OneDrive per user and Microsoft Teams, and each user can install on up to five PCs or Macs. Step up to Business Premium if you also need advanced security and device management.

Do Microsoft 365 plans include advanced security like Intune, conditional access and DLP?

Only the higher tiers do. Intune device management, conditional access and data-loss prevention (DLP) come with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and the enterprise E3 and E5 plans. Business Standard covers everyday productivity and basic protection but not Intune or full DLP controls, so pick Business Premium or an enterprise plan if compliance is a priority.
