Microsoft 365 Business Premium 36 months monthly plan

Microsoft 365 Business Premium 36 months monthly plan – predictable billing, enterprise-grade security

For growing businesses, the biggest challenge isn't just getting the right tools—it's managing costs predictably while keeping company data secure. The Microsoft 365 Business Premium 36 months monthly plan solves both problems in one subscription. You get the complete Office suite, cloud email, video conferencing, and advanced cyber-security tools, all billed at a fixed monthly rate for three full years. No annual price hikes, no surprise renewal invoices. Just a stable, compliant productivity environment your team can rely on.

This is a genuine, digitally delivered monthly subscription license designed for small to mid-sized organisations—typically 10 to 300 users—that need professional IT administration without a dedicated server room. Your admin team gets a centralised console to manage users, devices, and security policies. Your staff get the latest desktop and web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. And your finance director gets a predictable line item that makes budgeting straightforward. Lizensa delivers the licence key and tenant setup guidance by email within minutes, backed by EU-based support that speaks your language.

Key features and benefits

• 36-month fixed monthly billing – Lock in your subscription rate for three years. This shields your operating budget from mid-contract price changes and eliminates the admin burden of annual licence negotiations.
• Full Office desktop and web apps – Always-up-to-date versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Users can install the apps on up to five PCs or Macs, five tablets, and five phones per user, so work flows seamlessly across devices.
• Microsoft Teams with advanced collaboration – Host HD video meetings for up to 300 attendees, record sessions with automatic transcripts, and create shared workspaces that keep projects moving. Teams ties together chat, calls, and file co-authoring in one app.
• Exchange Online with 50 GB mailbox – Business-class email on your own domain, with shared calendars, contacts, and a 50 GB archive mailbox. Built-in anti-malware and anti-spam filtering protect inbound messages before they reach your users.
• OneDrive for Business with 1 TB per user – Every employee gets a terabyte of personal cloud storage. Files sync automatically across devices, and sharing links can be password-protected with expiration dates to prevent data leakage.
• SharePoint Online team sites – Build intranet portals and document libraries that keep institutional knowledge organised. Version history, check-in/check-out, and custom permissions give you control over who sees what.
• Microsoft Defender for Business – Enterprise-grade endpoint protection included. Real-time antivirus, firewall management, attack surface reduction, and automated investigation help stop ransomware and phishing attacks before they spread.
• Microsoft Intune device management – Enforce security policies on company-owned and BYOD phones, tablets, and laptops. Require PIN codes, encrypt data, and remotely wipe lost devices—all from a single admin centre.
• Azure Information Protection – Classify and label sensitive documents automatically. Emails containing financial data or personal information can be encrypted and restricted so they can't be forwarded or printed outside your organisation.
• Windows 10/11 Business upgrade rights – If you're running Windows Pro, this licence includes upgrade rights to the business edition, unlocking BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop, and Assigned Access kiosk mode.

What's included with your purchase

When you buy the Microsoft 365 Business Premium 36 months monthly plan from Lizensa, you receive a genuine digital subscription licence tied to your Microsoft 365 tenant. This is a monthly subscription—not a one-time purchase—with a 36-month billing commitment. Microsoft bills the subscription monthly, and Lizensa provides the licence key and activation guidance upfront.

Your purchase includes:

• A unique licence activation key delivered by email and visible in your Lizensa customer account.
• Step-by-step activation instructions that walk you through adding the licence to an existing Microsoft 365 tenant or creating a new one.
• A downloadable PDF VAT invoice suitable for EU accounting and tax purposes. Reverse-charge VAT treatment is applied for valid B2B customers with a verified EU VAT ID.
• Access to Lizensa's multilingual support team for activation and installation questions—free for the life of your licence.
• Licence validity across all 27 EU member states. The key activates without regional restrictions within the European Union.

Activation is straightforward: you sign into the Microsoft 365 admin centre, enter the provided key, and assign licences to users. The subscription then runs month-to-month for the agreed 36-month term. You can add more licences at any time through your Lizensa account.

Office versions compared — which one should you buy?

Microsoft offers two main ways to buy Office: a one-time purchase (Office 2021 or Office LTSC) and a Microsoft 365 subscription. Understanding the difference helps you pick the right licence.

One-time purchase (Office 2021 / Office LTSC)

• Pay once, use forever on one PC or Mac.
• Includes classic desktop apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
• No cloud services, no Teams, no email hosting, no device management.
• Security updates only; you don't get new features.
• Best for: single users with basic needs who don't want recurring payments.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium (this product)

• Monthly subscription per user, with a 36-month billing commitment.
• Includes everything in the one-time purchase plus cloud services: Exchange email, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Defender, and Intune.
• Always up to date with the latest features and security patches.
• Install on up to five devices per user simultaneously.
• Best for: businesses that need collaboration, security, and device management in one package.

Within the Microsoft 365 family, Business Premium sits at the top of the business-tier plans. It adds cyber-security and device management that Business Standard lacks, making it the right choice for organisations with compliance obligations or remote workers handling sensitive data. If you only need Office apps and cloud storage, Business Standard may suffice. If you need advanced compliance and eDiscovery, consider the enterprise-tier Microsoft 365 E3.

System requirements / compatibility

Microsoft 365 Business Premium runs on Windows, macOS, and modern web browsers. The desktop apps and cloud services are designed to work together, but exact requirements vary by operating system and update channel. Always validate against Microsoft's official documentation before rolling out to your organisation.

Windows

• Operating system: Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11. Windows Server 2019 and 2022 are supported for the web apps and admin centre, but desktop app installation requires a client OS.
• Processor: 1.6 GHz or faster, dual-core. Intel 10th-generation or AMD Ryzen 4000 series and newer recommended for optimal Teams performance.
• Memory: 4 GB minimum; 8 GB recommended for smooth multitasking with large datasets.
• Storage: 4 GB of available disk space for the core apps. Additional space required for offline files and OneDrive sync.
• Architecture: 32-bit and 64-bit where supported by the product edition. Microsoft recommends 64-bit for large Excel workbooks and Power BI datasets.
• Graphics: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver for Windows 10. Teams video calls benefit from a dedicated GPU.

macOS

• Memory: 4 GB minimum; 8 GB recommended.
• Storage: 10 GB of available disk space. HFS+ or APFS formatted volume required.

Web and mobile

• Mobile apps available for iOS 16+ and Android 10+. Intune device management supports iOS, Android, and iPadOS.

Additional requirements

• Internet connection required for activation, licence validation, and cloud features. Offline access is available for desktop apps after initial activation.
• A Microsoft 365 tenant (organisational account) is required. Personal Microsoft accounts cannot activate this business licence.
• Product languages supported: English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish. Users can switch display languages within the apps.

Installation and activation

After completing your purchase on Lizensa, you'll receive a digital delivery email—typically within 60 seconds. The email contains your licence key, a link to the Microsoft 365 admin centre, and a PDF activation guide with screenshots. You can also access your key anytime from your Lizensa customer account under "My Orders."

Activation follows a simple four-step process:

1. Sign into the Microsoft 365 admin centre (admin.microsoft.com) with your organisational account. If you don't have a tenant yet, the setup wizard will create one.
2. Navigate to Billing > Your products and select Redeem a product key.
3. Enter the 25-character key from your Lizensa delivery email and follow the prompts to add the Business Premium licences to your tenant.
4. Assign licences to users under Users > Active users. Each assigned user can then install the desktop apps from portal.office.com.

If activation fails, check that your tenant region matches an EU member state and that you're using a work or school account—not a personal Microsoft account. Lizensa's support team is available by email and phone to troubleshoot activation errors, tenant configuration issues, and DNS setup for custom domains.

Reinstallation and device transfers: Because this is a per-user subscription, you can install and activate the desktop apps on up to five PCs or Macs simultaneously. If you replace a computer, simply deactivate the old device from your account page and install on the new one. There's no limit on reinstallations during the subscription term.

Why choose Lizensa for your software licences

When you buy a Microsoft 365 Business Premium licence, you're not just buying a product key—you're buying the confidence that it will activate correctly, remain valid, and be backed by a real support team if something goes wrong. Lizensa has built its reputation on delivering exactly that.

Every licence we sell comes from authorised European distribution channels. That means your key is genuine, fully traceable, and compliant with Microsoft's volume licensing terms. You won't find grey-market keys, MSDN repacks, or keys that work today and get blocked tomorrow. For businesses subject to software audits, that provenance matters.

Your licence arrives by email in under a minute on average. The checkout process is secured by Stripe, with payment options that include SEPA bank transfer, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and major credit and debit cards. A proper VAT invoice is generated automatically with every order—reverse-charge applied for B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, so your accounting department has exactly what it needs.

As an EU-based company, Lizensa operates under European consumer protection law. You have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital purchases, and our warranty obligations follow EU Directive (EU) 2019/770. If you encounter a technical issue that our support team can't resolve, you're covered.

Our support team works in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish. They understand Microsoft 365 tenant administration, not just basic installation. Whether you're migrating from an on-premises Exchange server, setting up Intune compliance policies, or troubleshooting a hybrid Azure AD join, you'll get answers from someone who knows the platform.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a monthly subscription licence with a 36-month billing commitment. You pay a fixed monthly rate for three years. After the 36-month term, the subscription can be renewed or adjusted through Lizensa. It is not a perpetual (lifetime) licence.

What happens after the 36-month term ends?

Your subscription continues on a month-to-month basis at the prevailing rate unless you cancel or switch to a different plan. Lizensa will notify you before the term ends so you can review your options without interruption to your service.

How fast do I get my licence key?

Most orders are delivered by email within 60 seconds of payment confirmation. The key also appears in your Lizensa customer account under "My Orders." If you don't see the email, check your spam folder or contact support.

Is this a genuine, legal Microsoft licence?

Yes. Every licence Lizensa sells is sourced from authorised European distributors and is fully compliant with Microsoft's licensing terms. You receive a traceable product key and a VAT invoice that satisfies audit requirements.

Can I use this licence on a Mac?

Yes. Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes native desktop apps for macOS, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive. The apps are optimised for both Intel and Apple Silicon processors.

How many devices can I install on?

What if I have trouble activating the licence?

Contact Lizensa support by email or phone. Our team can help with tenant configuration, key entry errors, domain verification, and DNS setup. Most activation issues are resolved within one business day.

Does this licence work in my country?

This licence is valid for activation and use in all 27 EU member states. If your Microsoft 365 tenant is registered in an EU country, the key will activate without regional restrictions.

Do you provide a VAT invoice?

Yes. A downloadable PDF VAT invoice is generated automatically with every order. For B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, reverse-charge VAT treatment is applied so no VAT is charged at the point of sale.

We accept SEPA bank transfer, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

What is your refund policy?

Under EU consumer law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital purchases. If the licence key has not been activated, we issue a full refund. If you encounter a technical fault, contact support first—we'll resolve the issue or refund your purchase.

Can I add more users during the 36-month term?

Yes. You can purchase additional Business Premium licences through Lizensa at any time. The new licences will be co-terminous with your existing subscription, meaning they align to the same renewal date so you manage one billing cycle.
