I canceled my office 365 Home Subscription

The employer might not expect the employee to work at home, but the employee might choose to do so. For example, I often prefer to go home at 5pm, hang out with my kids, then work from 8pm to 10pm. My employer might prefer me to work through until 7pm. They're not obliged to meet my desire to work from home from time to time, but I like the convenience.

I suppose it's different for salary exempt positions where people are expected to simply put in the time it takes to get things done. In that situation I suppose the company can say - get the work done, we've provided computers in the office, but if you choose (and we allow it) to work from home or elsewhere, it's on you to figure out how.

A lot of people take work home with them, and so need Office, and their employer won't always pay for a licence for them.
there is office HUP for that. I think at my last job we offered that to employees at $9. But don't most people who work from home have company issued laptops anyway?

Buying an office key card is too expensive. it's $139.99 per computer. It used to be up to three installs for the same person. Now you have to buy multiples or use the subscription for up to five.

The key card is basically an OEM copy now, right?
-
@scottalanmiller Basically. It's one computer only. Which is sad. Pretty much every software license anymore allows two installs as long as both are used by the same person and not simultaneously (ex a laptop and a desktop).

My users around here can't understand the difference between Word and Excel, let alone MS Office and LibreOffice.
Are your users like this guy?

I miss the classic minesweeper look! That's how I'll always remember it!

Win! I found a site that has the .exe of the original Minesweeper! WOOHOO!

Webroot trusts it, and I trust Webroot.

The transitive property at work.
However, for the logic to be applied correctly it is not that Webroot trusts it, the correct phrasing is "Webroot does not distrust it." Has important transitive differences.
