Microsoft 365 Business Standard Original Annual License
Fast Email Delivery, Official Guarantee and Free Technical Support
Microsoft 365 Business Standard is the Microsoft annual license for one business user, and the only one of the three that brings mail on the company domain: a 50 GB Exchange mailbox on name.surname@yourcompany.com, that is the address you print on a business card, instead of a free one that tells the client the company has no domain of its own.
Buying from Licensel you receive by email within minutes the instructions for activation in the Microsoft 365 Admin portal, with always free support via Live Chat and email.

License type → Annual
The license is valid for twelve months for one user and expires on that date: it is not an automatic charge, and at the end of the twelve months you buy a new license if you want to carry on. Activation happens in the Microsoft 365 Admin portal, where the user is created inside the company domain.
On expiry the Office applications switch to read-only and the mailbox stops receiving; the messages already downloaded stay on the computer and the documents on OneDrive and SharePoint stay accessible. That is why it is better to decide about renewal before the date rather than after.
Every person who uses mail and the applications needs their own license, but the license is not tied to the person forever: when a colleague leaves, in the admin center you remove it from their user and assign it to the newcomer. Their mailbox can be converted into a shared mailbox, which needs no license, so the mail history stays accessible.
Key features
Microsoft 365 Business Standard is designed for businesses that need complete productivity and collaboration tools. In addition to the always up-to-date Office apps, it includes Teams for company communications, SharePoint for document management and the intranet, and 1 TB of OneDrive for cloud storage. The user can install the apps on a maximum of 15 devices.
The fifteen devices per user are not a single pool to spend as you like: Microsoft splits them into five Windows PCs or Macs, five tablets and five phones. For an owner who works from a laptop, the office desktop and a phone, this means the same mail and the same files everywhere, with one license.
Moving the mail to the company domain takes one technical step: in the admin portal you prove that the domain is yours, then you change the DNS records, the MX record in particular, with whoever manages the domain. Until the MX record points to Microsoft, mail keeps arriving in the previous mailbox, so it is worth choosing a quiet moment and importing the old messages first.
