How would I license this?
Hi Daniel, have you considered https://products.office.com/business/office-365-f1, it's meant for front-line workers and it's quite a nice offering though whether it would help for your circumstances I'm not sure.
F1 is still a user license. Managing 104 users is out of the question. Too much bureaucracy, too time consuming, to expensive in the end.
All we want is 13 computers, each having a single account (home1, home2) with a single mailbox (home1@..., home2@...) and access to Word, Excel where 8 therapists can logon to each computer.
DanielNiccoli, I agree with Cian Allner, the profile you've described for the therapists fits with the F1 definition relatively well, it's designed for frontline/kiosk tyoe workers.
Managing their accounts needn't be complicated, Microsoft Stafhub (a tool built for these type of workers) includes a specific mode to make managing the accounts easy. All their manager needs to do is enter the name and mobile phone for a therapist, Staffhub sends them texts and walks them through provisioning accounts etc. See
F1 won't licnese them for Office Pro Plus, but they ill have a OneDrive and the ability to use the web versions of Office.
Thanks for the clarification, I don't see a way around it but some other members may have more suggestions. Each user should have the appropriate licence assigned but as always for licensing matters, it's best to consult a Microsoft rep or partner for definitive answers. It's a shame they are not a non-profit, Microsoft has good discounts for those plans.
