Office 365 E1 and E3 LIcenses: do they cover Office Online Server Editing & Viewing Documents
I am looking at the current licensing for both our Office 365 E1 & E3 licensed users. I know they both include Office Online Server ( Office Web Apps) which gives on-premises users the document preview feature. I just wondered if this just to view office documents in a browser or does it also cover document editing as well?

- Yes, you are able to view and edit files

Thanks, I wanted to check the response I got from our supplier. For Office Online Server we need a minimum of an Office 365 E1 license to allow users to edit or view Office documents rendered by OOS.
I have learned to be a bit paranoid as to what is covered and what is not.

I think there's a little confusion here between Office Online (cloud based) and Office Online Server (which is on-premises server). Deleted's link refers to cloud based Office Online, but if I understood correctly, the question is about Office Online Server
