Join nowFor organisations that live in the browser, Microsoft Office 365 E1 delivers the core of Microsoft’s enterprise collaboration stack—business-class email, secure file sharing, team chat, and video conferencing—in a single, manageable subscription. This 36-month annual licence strips away the cost and complexity of locally installed desktop applications and focuses entirely on cloud services that keep your teams connected, whether they are at headquarters, working from home, or on the move. You get hosted Exchange email with a 50 GB mailbox, 1 TB of personal file storage per user through OneDrive for Business, a central hub for teamwork in Microsoft Teams, and intelligent intranet and document management via SharePoint Online. Because the plan includes web and mobile versions of the core Office apps, your people can view and lightly edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from any modern browser or mobile device, without needing a full desktop install. For IT administrators, the Microsoft 365 admin centre provides granular control over users, devices, and security policies, including multi-factor authentication and data loss prevention rules. If your priority is reliable communication and collaboration tools rather than thick-client Office applications, Office 365 E1 gives you a predictable, three-year cost base and a platform that scales with your business.
When you buy Microsoft Office 365 E1 36 months from Lizensa, you receive a genuine, verified annual subscription licence that covers one user for a full 36-month term. This is not a perpetual licence; it is a cloud subscription that remains active for the duration of the term and must be renewed to continue accessing the services. The licence is delivered digitally—you will receive an activation link and clear instructions by email, typically within seconds of completing your purchase. A downloadable VAT invoice is provided with every order, and for B2B customers within the EU, reverse-charge VAT treatment is applied where applicable.
The licence is activated against your existing Microsoft 365 tenant, or you can create a new tenant during the redemption process. There is no physical media, no USB stick, and no desktop installer to download because the product is entirely cloud-based. Once activated, your users can immediately sign in at office.com and begin using Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and the web apps. The subscription includes all feature updates and security patches released by Microsoft during the 36-month term.
Compatibility is broad: any device with a modern web browser—Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS—can access the full suite of services. Dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android extend the experience to phones and tablets. Please note that this plan does not include licences for the desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, or Access. Organisations that require locally installed Office applications should consider Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise or the Office 365 E3 plan.
Choosing the right Microsoft 365 plan depends on how your teams work. Office 365 E1 occupies a specific niche: it is the entry point to enterprise-grade cloud services without the desktop applications. Understanding where it sits in the portfolio helps you avoid overpaying for features you will not use—or under-buying and discovering gaps later.
Office 365 E1 vs. Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Both plans are cloud-only and include Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Business Basic is capped at 300 users and is designed for small to mid-sized businesses, while Office 365 E1 has no user limit and adds enterprise features such as unlimited cloud storage for archival mail (via In-Place Archive), more granular compliance tools, and the ability to manage the tenant with Group Policy. If your organisation has more than 300 employees or needs enterprise administration controls, E1 is the correct choice.
Office 365 E1 vs. Office 365 E3
E3 includes everything in E1 plus licences for the full desktop Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, and Access) that can be installed on up to five devices per user. E3 also adds advanced compliance features such as eDiscovery, legal hold, and rights management. If your users spend significant time creating or formatting complex documents, or if you need desktop apps for offline work, E3 is the better fit. E1 remains the cost-effective option for frontline workers, contractors, or anyone who primarily works in a browser.
Office 365 E1 vs. Microsoft 365 E5
E5 is the most comprehensive plan, adding advanced security (Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Defender for Identity), analytics (Power BI Pro), and voice capabilities (Phone System, Audio Conferencing). It is designed for organisations with sophisticated security postures and compliance requirements. E1 covers the fundamentals at a fraction of the cost.
Office 365 E1 vs. one-time purchase Office 2021
A one-time purchase such as Office Home & Business 2021 gives you a perpetual licence for the desktop apps on a single device, but it does not include any cloud services, and feature updates stop after the initial release. Office 365 E1 is a subscription that continuously evolves, includes enterprise cloud services, and allows browser-based access from any device. The two models serve fundamentally different needs: one-time purchase suits a single user who needs classic desktop apps forever; E1 suits an organisation that values collaboration and cloud services over local installs.
Microsoft Office 365 E1 is a cloud-first service, which means the system requirements are minimal compared to traditional desktop software. Because the core experience runs in a web browser, the primary requirement is a modern, up-to-date browser such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft recommends the latest version of any of these browsers for the best performance and security.
For the best experience on desktop and laptop computers, Microsoft recommends at least 4 GB of RAM, with 8 GB recommended for smoother multitasking, especially when running multiple browser tabs alongside video meetings in Teams. A minimum of 4 GB of free storage space is suggested for caching and temporary files, though the service itself stores data in the cloud. The web apps and services support both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems where the browser itself supports them.
Supported operating systems:
Language support: The product interface and services are available in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish, among many other languages. The language can be configured per user in the Microsoft 365 admin centre.
Internet connectivity: An active internet connection is required for activation and ongoing use. While some mobile apps offer limited offline viewing, the core value of the E1 plan—email, chat, video meetings, and real-time co-authoring—depends on connectivity. Microsoft recommends a broadband connection with at least 1 Mbps for standard-definition video calls and 4 Mbps for high-definition Teams meetings.
Because exact requirements can vary by service component and are updated periodically by Microsoft, we recommend validating the latest specifications against the official Microsoft 365 system requirements page before activating your licences.
Activating your Microsoft Office 365 E1 36-month subscription is a straightforward process that happens entirely online. There is no software to download or install locally, which means you can go from purchase to productive in minutes.
Step 1: Receive your licence
After completing your purchase on Lizensa, you will receive an email containing your activation link and a unique redemption key. This email is typically delivered within 60 seconds. You can also access your licence details at any time by logging into your Lizensa customer account.
Step 2: Redeem the licence in your Microsoft 365 tenant
Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin centre with a Global Administrator or Billing Administrator account. Navigate to the billing section and select “Redeem a product key.” Enter the key provided by Lizensa and confirm the redemption. The 36-month subscription will be added to your tenant, and you can immediately begin assigning licences to users.
Step 3: Assign licences to users
In the admin centre, go to the active users list, select the users who need E1 access, and assign the newly available Office 365 E1 licence to them. Each assigned user will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to sign in at office.com and start using their new services.
Step 4: Configure services (optional)
You may want to configure Exchange mail flow, set up SharePoint team sites, or define Teams meeting policies before rolling out to the wider organisation. Microsoft provides extensive documentation and wizards to guide you through these steps.
Need help? Lizensa provides free multilingual technical support for all licence activation questions. If you encounter an error during redemption, if the key is not recognised, or if you need guidance on tenant setup, our support team is available to assist. Because the licence is cloud-based, there is no concept of “reinstallation”—the subscription remains active on your tenant for the full 36-month term, and you can reassign licences between users as your team changes.
When you purchase a Microsoft Office 365 E1 36-month subscription from Lizensa, you are not just buying a product key—you are entering a relationship with a European software licence specialist that has built its reputation on authenticity, speed, and customer protection. Every licence we sell is sourced through authorised European distribution channels and verified before it reaches your inbox. That means you never need to worry about blocked keys, audit flags, or the compliance risks that come with grey-market resellers.
Speed matters when your team is waiting to collaborate. Our digital delivery system sends your activation details by email in under a minute on average, so you can start assigning licences while the business need is still fresh. Each order includes a full VAT invoice that meets EU invoicing requirements, and for B2B customers with a valid intra-community VAT number, we apply the reverse-charge mechanism so you are not left reclaiming VAT later.
Your payment is processed through Stripe, one of the world’s most trusted payment gateways, with support for SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and major credit and debit cards. At no point do we store your payment details on our own servers. As an EU-based company, we operate under European consumer protection law, which means you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital products, and your purchase is backed by the statutory warranty of conformity. Should anything go wrong during activation, our multilingual support team—fluent in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish—is ready to help at no extra cost. And because Microsoft 365 licences are valid across all 27 EU member states, you can activate and use your subscription wherever your organisation operates within the Union.
Office 365 E1 is an annual subscription licence. The 36-month term means you prepay for three years of service. At the end of the term, the subscription expires unless you renew it. This is not a perpetual licence; the cloud services stop when the subscription ends.
An annual subscription commits you to a full year (or, in this case, three years) and is typically billed upfront. It offers a lower per-month cost compared to a monthly subscription, which can be cancelled or adjusted each month. This 36-month plan locks in your pricing for the entire term, providing budget stability.
Our digital delivery system sends the activation email within seconds of payment confirmation. Most customers receive their licence details in under a minute. You can also access your key immediately from your Lizensa customer account.
Yes. Every licence sold by Lizensa is sourced from authorised European distributors and is 100% genuine. You receive a legitimate subscription that is recognised by Microsoft’s activation servers and is fully compliant for use in any EU member state.
Contact Lizensa support. Our multilingual team can help diagnose activation errors, guide you through the redemption process in the Microsoft 365 admin centre, and escalate to Microsoft if necessary. Support is included free with your purchase.
Yes. Office 365 E1 licences are assigned per user but are not permanently tied to a specific individual. An administrator can remove the licence from one user and assign it to another at any time through the Microsoft 365 admin centre. This makes it easy to manage staff turnover.
No. This plan includes web and mobile versions of the Office apps only. If you need the full desktop applications that can be installed locally on Windows or macOS, you should consider Office 365 E3, Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, or Microsoft 365 Business Standard.
Absolutely. Because the services are accessed through a web browser, Office 365 E1 works on any operating system that runs a modern browser, including macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. Dedicated mobile apps are also available for iOS and Android.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, Google Pay, SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, and BLIK. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, and we never store your full payment details on our own systems.
Yes. A downloadable VAT invoice is generated for every order. For B2B customers within the EU who provide a valid VAT number, we apply the reverse-charge mechanism so that VAT is not charged at the point of sale.
Under EU consumer law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital products purchased from Lizensa. If you have not yet activated or redeemed the licence, we will issue a full refund. Once a licence has been redeemed against a Microsoft tenant, refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis in accordance with our terms and conditions.
Microsoft 365 licences sold by Lizensa are valid for activation and use in all 27 EU member states. If your organisation operates within the European Union, you can activate and use this subscription without restriction.
