M365B really doesn't include an Office for Mac license?
In this overview, it looks like M365B doesn't include an Office for Mac license:
That seems strange and looks like an oversight to me. But I'm no Apple expert, so I'd like to ask the community whether that is actually true?
Thanks!
- Hi Dom Cote,
This isn't true. See this service description for Office apps -
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-applications-service-description/office-applications-service-description
Office 365 Business Premium - which is what is contained in Microsoft 365 Business, contains Office for Mac
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

I suggest you check out the M365 service descriptions at:
Select Office applications link
scroll to right
Thee caveat is:
7 Office for Mac 2011 can be installed, but not activated.
which is what maybe your graphic speaks to.

Best, ChrisChrisHoardMVP I gotta clarify a bit, after I go some additional insight.
--> Office for Mac is NOT included
--> Office 365 Business Premium IS included (which can be installed on a Mac).
There is no product called "Office 365 for Mac".
- Hmm, quite confusing with the naming conventions

I guess, regardless of the naming conventions we were always in agreement that Office 365 Business Premium is the vehicle which means office can be installed on a mac and that this is included in Microsoft 365 Business.
Lol I have no idea what needs to be changed - whether this is the service descriptions or the overview collateral above. This probably needs to be simpler :S
Best, Chris
- Awesome. That's what I thought. Thanks for the quick answer! We'll need to get that document fixed. 😉
