I spent 3 hours on this, finally removing ALL anti-virus/firewall protection software so there was nothing that would interfere with the download. My WiFI connection was clean and secure, rebooted windows - which was a brand new copy of Win10 on a brand new Dell Laptop. No difference - attempting to download the Amazon Installer ALWAYS FAILED. It does not even appear that you can get a refund, when you figure out you got screwed. So, I just went to Microsoft's store, where the download and installation proceeded quickly without nary a hiccough. Hopefully Amazon will get off its duff and hire some competent programmer to fix this mess. In the meantime I am going to see if my credit card company can reverse the payment for this disgusting junk."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been trying to put Office 365 subscription on my lap top August and the instructions dont work, i have spent an hour just trying to get the "installer" installed my next option is to go to office max and buy office there and is not way to get a refund or to return this software.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have liked amazon for quite a while now so I decided to give this format of buying Office 365 a chance. What a waste of my time and money! I\'m a pretty tech savvy person but this was pathetic. Trying to download the Games and Software Downloader was ridiculous. I tried exhaustively to troubleshoot issues and it would NOT work. There goes $70 down the drain seeing as how this is NONRETURNABLE. This shouldn\'t even be listed as a "1-star" rating. Fix your crap amazon. I will be cancelling my Prime account from here on out.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is One Drive cloud based computing only. Not mentioned in details. Great if you always have a good, secure internet connection, not worth a crap if you often don't. Have to trust Microsoft not to get hacked, which after other displays of their programming and internet capabilities, (just ask me why I was looking for a replacement application set) I am not willing to trust stuff covered under security protocols or strict ND's on their cloud. Deleted Office 365 same day."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was slightly concerned with purchasing this after reading the reviews about how difficult the process was. However, the process for activating could not have been simpler. I did have to go into my amazon account and view my subscriptions > advanced subscription options to find my product key, but that process would more than likely be expected for anyone not buying directly from Microsoft. If you already have the trail downloaded (most windows computers already have it installed) it was just a matter of logging into Microsoft and copy-paste. In total (not including download time) it took 6 minutes.\n\nThe fact that Amazon is able to provide a discount (usually unheard of with most software, besides to students - check with your school first ALWAYS) makes the negligible extra steps worth it. I was able to make 6 equal payments with my Amazon card with still getting the paid-in-full price.\n\nDisclaimer: I work in software for a living but if you have a need to use word/excel/etc and are unable to complete these steps, i would recommend taking a computers 101 class.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This came with the "All-new Fire HD 10 tablet, 32 GB, Black + Bluetooth keyboard + 12-month Microsoft 365 Personal subscription (auto-renews)" bundle deal that Amazon released this week. One of the reasons that I got the bundle deal was because of this 12-month subscription. I had been subscribing to Microsoft 365 Personal monthly through Microsoft, and getting it for one year from Amazon will save me money. Plus, I applied a $30 gift card to this purchase, received from trading in an older HD 10, so I saved even more money.\n\nSince my monthly subscription was about to renew, I cancelled auto-renew, and waited until Microsoft sent me an e-mail stating my Office had expired. I then went to "Memberships & Subscriptions" in my Amazon account and downloaded Office. Well, actually, it was all on my desktop anyway, and I just had to sign in at Microsoft for everything to be activated again. Just took a few minutes.\n\nOn the Fire, you sign in using your Microsoft account e-mail and password, not your Amazon email and password. Everything in Office is on the Fire HD 10, but I have no idea how everything will work on the Fire; if it will work just as it does on a desktop or laptop. I only use Word to write documents and reviews, and that is working exactly the same. I do nothing elaborate, though.\n\nYou manage the Office 365 account from your "Memberships & Subscriptions" Amazon page, not at Microsoft. Thus, you go there to turn on or off auto-renew or to cancel your subscription. I prefer subscribing to things when possible through Amazon. It makes life easier and everything is in one place.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I’m an apple guy but needed a MS office option, for the price you can’t beat this, easy to connect to O365 from Mac, iPhone and iPad, auto save and local downloads available, full O365 suite available including email and Skype.

I had an existing office subscription that expired a few days ago. I purchased the new subscription through Amazon, and just clicked on the link I found in my Manage Subscriptions section of my Amazon account. It took me to directly to a Microsoft Account log-in page, where I logged into my Microsoft account, and then without any additional input from me, Amazon electronically transferred the information on the just purchased subscription into my Microsoft account; a 1 year subscription to Microsoft 365 is now activated and functional. Now, I have no idea what my subscription number is or what the actual activation code is, but I didn't have to input anything. I just clicked on the link provided by Amazon that is found in Amazon > Your Account > Memberships and Subscriptions > Other Subscriptions > Current Subscriptions. I hope this is helpful to anyone concerned about purchasing this through Amazon."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is NOT a download of MS Office as described.
