#Office 365 for business description license#
The common maximum Office 365 license grace period is 32 days.īut we’ve once seen a Grace Period of 45 days or 65,908 minutes but for no reason we can explain.

We’ve never seen a regularly online computer with a grace period less than 22 days. It seems that Office checks it’s licence status every week or ten days. Even after logging out and into both Office and the computer, the licence hasn’t been rechecked as Microsoft says it should be. In the above example, the 22 days grace is on a computer that runs 24/7. If that time drops to zero minutes, Office programs drop to non-editing Reduced Functionality mode. The amount of time before another Microsoft 365 licence check is necessary.

In this case, Office will work offline for another 26 days (37,697 minutes) before it’ll drop to Reduced Functionality mode. In a Command Prompt window, you can see more licence details including the ‘Remaining Grace’ period for your Microsoft 365/Office 365 licence.

It doesn’t matter if your plan has a year or more to run, the software checks with Microsoft’s servers at least every 30 days.ĭisclaimer: the info below has not been confirmed by Microsoft.
