What's included with your purchase
When you purchase the Microsoft Office 365 E1 36 months monthly plan from Lizensa, you are acquiring a genuine, verified subscription license for one user, valid for a 36-month term. This is a monthly billing commitment, meaning Microsoft charges the subscription fee each month for the duration of the contract. Your purchase includes a digital activation link and a detailed, step-by-step guide delivered instantly to your Lizensa customer account and registered email address. You will also receive a full VAT invoice, suitable for business accounting and tax purposes. This is a cloud-based subscription; no physical media is shipped, and no permanent desktop application license is included. The license is activated by redeeming the provided key against your existing Microsoft 365 tenant or a newly created one. The service is compatible with Windows and macOS environments via a supported web browser, and dedicated mobile apps are available for iOS and Android.
Office versions compared — which one should you buy?
Choosing the right Microsoft 365 plan depends entirely on your organisation's application needs and device strategy. The Office 365 E1 plan is distinct from the Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Business Standard plans, primarily in its exclusion of locally installable desktop Office applications.
Office 365 E1 vs. Microsoft 365 Business Basic: Both plans include the core cloud services: Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. However, Business Basic includes the web and mobile versions of Office apps plus the rights to use the full desktop versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. E1 is purely web and mobile-based for Office apps. E1 is often chosen for users who only need email and collaboration, or for organisations that have a separate volume licensing agreement for desktop software.
Office 365 E1 vs. Microsoft 365 Business Standard: Business Standard includes everything in Business Basic, plus additional desktop applications (Publisher and Access, Windows PC only) and advanced customer booking and invoicing tools. E1 remains the leaner, more cost-effective option for a purely cloud-first, browser-based user profile.
Who is this edition best for?: This edition is ideal for enterprises, non-profits, and educational institutions with a high proportion of frontline, task-based, or shared-device workers who do not require the full desktop Office suite. It is also perfectly suited for organisations that rely on thin clients, Chromebooks, or a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy where installing software is restricted.
System requirements / compatibility
The Microsoft Office 365 E1 plan is a cloud service, and its primary requirement is a modern web browser and internet connectivity. For the best experience, ensure your systems meet the following general guidelines. Please note that exact requirements can vary by service and update; always validate against the official Microsoft 365 documentation before a large-scale rollout.
Operating System: Compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, and the three most recent versions of macOS. Mobile apps are supported on the latest versions of iOS and Android.
Hardware: A minimum of 4 GB of RAM is required, with 8 GB recommended for smooth multitasking, especially during video meetings. A minimum of 4 GB of available disk space is needed for local caching and the installation of mobile or desktop companion apps.
Architecture: 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported where the specific browser or companion app edition permits.
Connectivity: An active internet connection is required for activation, service access, and real-time collaboration features.
Languages: This product supports multiple interface languages, including English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.

FAQ — frequently asked questions
Is the Microsoft Office 365 E1 plan a one-time purchase or a subscription?
This is a monthly subscription plan with a 36-month commitment. You are billed each month for the duration of the term, which provides predictable operational costs and continuous access to the latest cloud services without a large upfront investment.
What is the difference between this E1 plan and a Microsoft 365 Business plan?
The primary difference is that the Office 365 E1 plan does not include the right to install the full desktop versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It provides access to the web and mobile app versions only, alongside enterprise cloud services. Business plans like Business Basic and Standard include the desktop apps.
How quickly will I receive my license key after purchasing?
Lizensa delivers your license key and activation instructions digitally. In the vast majority of cases, this information is available in your customer account and sent via email in under 60 seconds after payment confirmation.
Is this a genuine and legally compliant Microsoft license for use in the EU?
Yes. Every license sold by Lizensa is 100% genuine and sourced from authorised European distributors. It is fully valid for activation and use in all 27 EU member states, and you will receive a proper VAT invoice for your records.
What should I do if I have trouble with the activation process?
If you encounter any difficulties, Lizensa provides free multilingual technical support. Our team can guide you through the tenant setup and license redemption process to ensure your subscription is activated correctly.
Can I reinstall or transfer this license to another user?
This is a cloud-based user subscription license, not a device license. It is assigned to a specific user in your Microsoft 365 admin center. You can deactivate and reassign the license to a different user within your organisation as your staffing needs change.
Does this plan include the desktop versions of Word, Excel, and Outlook?
No. The Office 365 E1 plan includes the web browser and mobile app versions of these applications. If your users require the full, locally installed desktop applications, consider the Microsoft 365 Business Standard plan or a separate volume licensing agreement.
What payment methods does Lizensa accept?
Our checkout is powered by Stripe and supports a wide range of secure payment options suitable for European customers, including major credit cards, SEPA direct debit, iDEAL, BLIK, and Google Pay.
Will I receive a VAT invoice for my purchase?
Absolutely. A detailed VAT invoice is provided with every purchase. For B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, the reverse charge mechanism can be applied during the checkout process.
What is Lizensa's refund policy for this subscription?
As a digital product, the license is delivered instantly. You have a 14-day right of withdrawal in accordance with EU consumer protection law, provided the license key has not been redeemed or activated. Our support team can clarify the terms for your specific order.
Is this plan suitable for a small business with only a few employees?
Yes, the E1 plan is scalable and can be used by a single freelancer or a small business. However, its feature set is designed for organisations that need enterprise-grade email and document management without the desktop apps, making it a good fit for businesses of any size with that specific requirement.
What happens after the 36-month term ends?
Near the end of your 36-month commitment, you will have the option to renew your subscription, transition to a different Microsoft 365 plan, or allow the subscription to expire. Lizensa will be available to assist you with the renewal process to ensure uninterrupted service.
