Yes, they can be stacked.
Amazon were doing these for £49 last Christmas, so I bought 3 - my subscription ends March 2020. You can stack up to 5 years.
OP: You will not receive as many hot votes for this as you should. It's a great price, especially for up to 5 devices and you can share the subscription with the family making it even cheaper "per head". You won't receive the votes because people see the illegal £10 keys on Ebay/Amazon and will say this is overpriced.

You could buy one of the eligible items for extra 10% off, starting at £5.

Didn't think of that. I got two licences to cover all the devices for the next two years.

I think this is a boxed item so when the subscription comes up next year I'll use the new code. Unsure if you can stack now.

Can someone tell me if office 365 is just like desktop version of office 2017 or is it a limited version?
mgk to gt4game
24 Jun 17#10
Same - you download and install locally. It has some cloud functionality too but you can use just like the old style office

Haven't checked just now but I have had a few cheap licenses like this from eBay and AO for mid to high 30's I am also a few years until expiry- if you want 1tb cloud storage I think this must be one of cheapest ways to get it

I believe (but may be wrong) that each of the 5 users get 1tb storage.
Think there was a post on HotUKDeals how you could upgrade certain cheap £8/yr versions to this? (all officially, through the Microsoft Store) - anyone remember this or have a link?
I want to put this on 5 machines where the Microsoft account is the same on all machines so there is only one user. I know there will be one 1TB account available rather than 5x 1TB.
Can you do this?

I knew it was a silly low price and the reason why I bought 3 of them. In hindsight, should have gone for the 5 and filled my subscription :smiley:

How much storage does that include?
ikonanddiva
25 Jun 17#25
These days, many of us already have cloud storage (own web server in my case) that there's no need to pay extra for something you already have. It's a good price but Open Office does all I need...saving £52.50

Genuine question. Where does one get 5TB of cloud storage for <£50 a year.
ikonanddiva to Vini
25 Jun 171#27
You're missing the point. People already have cloud storage, likely paid for through other services. It's inclusive.
Genuine question : Who is going to fully use an allowance of 5TB for "home office" work?
If you're looking for a files solution then why not opt for many free services?
Mega
Pcloud
Mediafire
Dropbox
Box
Flipdrive
Google Drive
Onedrive (as above but only 5GB)
or opt for Remote Desktop software.
They may be limited to 10 - 50 GB per account but I can't ever recall any of my Home file lengths exceeding that amount and I deal with some pretty hefty data files...

Don't assume everyone has/had cloud storage.
When I looked to offsite my 4ish TB of content (mainly RAW photos) to the cloud last year, I couldn't find any provider offering over 1TB storage at a price that wasn't insane.
For that reason, I stacked these Home Premium 365 bundles, and upped my data spread over a few 1TB OneDrive accounts. The result? 5TB of cloud storage, for roughly £40 a year. Excluding Amazons unlimited option, which is £60/yr and wasn't available when I offloaded, who else can serve up 5TB of storage for under 50 quid? (Genuine question).
The fact I got Office 'included' in my cloud storage is by the by. Ive never used it/installed it.

Where is my assumption of writing "everyone has/had cloud storage", I wrote "many of us already have".
The question I asked was "...for "home office" work?", given this is a product (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Onenote, Outlook) where the files lengths are relatively small and not comparable to (adult) film / photo storage. Technically, I suppose that RAW photography work and subsequent editing (in packages not on offer) could get storage intensive. But of course, you're not actually referring to Office itself (being the point of the deal) but inclusive addition of storage, which in itself is a deal but how people actually need that? It works for you and that's great.
Whilst I agree that this is a good price for either Office 365 or the storage (even as separate entities), there's still nothing in the listing that says that I've got to buy this because, as already mentioned, the functionality is either already given by alternative software like Open Office or storage services already paid for through other interests or register multiple accounts at those free providers with the greatest allowance. Personally, I would never trust precious data with a third party: pay twice the amount, have a physical copy and store it offsite yourself...oh, and have a back-up of that back-up too.

Tou can use box.com or google cloud for free with massive storage...

I bought office 2016 for £7. From Amazon.
At this point, someone will scream that it's piracy or something.
The company gave it's company registration number, VAT number, address etc and stated on the invoice that it is legal copy.

None of the free versions of excel I have used are anywhere near as good as the real thing. If you don't need cloud storage and only need to write letters or do basic formula then you could use a free version.

Is it new accounts only though? You can't apply them to an existing account?

Almost all keys are MSDN keys. Whilst the key may be genuine, the use of, is very definitely against the MS EULA.

Its not for business use
Business intelligence (BI) is essentially the set of tools and processes that people use to gather data, turn it into meaningful information, and then make better decisions. In Office 365 Enterprise, you have BI capabilities available in Excel and SharePoint Online. These services enable you to gather data, visualize data, and share information with people in your organization across multiple devices.
