Office Professional Plus for Office 365 Beta available

Today, Microsoft announced availability of the Office 365 Public Beta. Office 365 combines the Microsoft Office Professional Plus client suite with cloud versions of the following products and services: Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Lync Online. The Office Professional Plus offering provides the complete Office client suite as a monthly subscription service. The combination of the Office Professional Plus suite plus the Office 365 services provides the best way for users to collaborate on documents; enables them to work online or offline; and provides access to documents, email, and calendars from almost any device.

The Office Professional Plus subscription allows you to purchase monthly licenses for each user in your organization, and each user license allows five concurrent installations. Both 32- and 64-bit versions of Office Professional Plus are available in Office 365. However, we recommend that you install the 32-bit version. You download and manage Office Professional Plus for Office 365 from the Office 365 portal (at https://portal.microsoftonline.com/download/default.aspx). After downloading Office Professional Plus for Office 365, you can make the Office suite available to users in your organization, based on the number of user licenses that you sign up for.
