INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Microsoft will soon drop the device limit on its consumer-grade Office 365 subscriptions and increase the number of users allowed under a
single Office 365 Home plan, the company announced today."Starting October 2, subscribers can install Office on an unlimited number of
devices," wrote Jared Spataro, a Microsoft executive in the Office and Windows division, in a post to a company blog.Under current rules,
Office 365 Home, which costs $100 per year, allows for installation of the suite's applications — Word, Outlook, Excel and the rest —
on only 10 devices, or an allowance of two devices for each of the five users who can shelter under the umbrella of a single subscription
Meanwhile, Office 365 Personal — a $70 annual plan with rights for just one individual — capped the device count at two total.
