How to buy FAQ

Q: I already have a Volume License Agreement with Microsoft. Can I buy Online Services here?
A: Yes, but you are considered a new customer to the Microsoft Online Subscription Program, and all purchases that you make through the program are licensed through the Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement, which you sign online to complete your purchase.

If you are an Enterprise Agreement (EA) customer, you are advised to purchase the Business Productivity Online Standard Suite through your existing Volume License agreement. Please contact your Microsoft reseller for more information.

Q: How often do I pay?
A: Subscriptions to online services sold here are paid monthly. You can use a credit card for payment.
