Hi guys,

In the case of a small company, with Office 365 "business professional" licences for users and hosted mail, shared calendars etc..

If a member of staff already has a licenced full local install of Office 2013, would this integrate with Office 365 if we purchased the less expensive "Business Essentials" option for their online account (as this provides hosted mail, and we already have a local install of office)

Thanks

Hi,

This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 license/plan aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated forum of Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
