Office 365 ProPlus is a subscription version of Office that's available through Office 365. It includes the applications that you're familiar with, including Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word, and those applications are installed directly on your devices. You can use these applications to connect with Office 365 services such as SharePoint Online and Exchange Online. Office 365 ProPlus is updated with new features on a regular basis and has a user-based licensing model that allows people to install Office on up to 5 devices. There are various ways to deploy Office 365 ProPlus:
