Work-at-Home Rights

Once you have an active Microsoft 365 Family subscription, you can share it with up to five other people. Each person you share your subscription with can install Office on their PCs, Macs, iPads, Android tablets, Windows tablets, iPhones®, or Android phones. Each person gets access to their own 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage, to store and share files and photos. 

For employees who qualify for the Microsoft 365 subscription offer and have purchased through the program, the discounted price applies for as long as the employee’s subscription remains active, regardless of their employment status with your organization. 

AI features included in Microsoft 365 Family plans are only available to the subscription owner and cannot be shared with others. 

Your Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription unlocks higher AI usage limits to experience and engage with Copilot in your Microsoft 365 apps, the Microsoft Copilot app, and beyond.
