As of July 1, 2020, the Office 365 E1 Trial license is no longer available. If you need to license users for Microsoft Teams, read the Microsoft Teams service description for a list of paid subscriptions that include Teams. Alternatively, eligible organizations can use the Free version of Teams, or employees can activate the Teams Exploratory experience.

Office 365 Enterprise E1 works best with the new Office, Office 2013, and Office 2011 for Mac. Previous versions of Office, such as Office 2010 and Office 2007, may work with Office 365 with reduced functionality.

If you're a Teams for Education customer, check out the free Office 365 A1 license.

Why don't I see the option to buy add-ons?

In a few situations, you won't see the option to buy Skype for Business add-ons in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

  • You purchased Microsoft 365 Business Standard through GoDaddy. In this case, you can't buy Skype for Business add-ons. You need to switch to the E3 plan (which GoDaddy doesn't sell), and then you can buy them. Contact support for business products - Admin Help.

  • You have a monthly commitment instead of an annual commitment. In some cases, customers who have a monthly commitment can't buy the add-ons (this is different from the payment method, which can be monthly). This is a known issue that we are fixing.
