3months Office 365 +20GB of SkyDrive storage free for students

Becomes a 6-month trial after sharing the offer on Facebook.

AFTER the trial is up, you can SUBSCRIBE for $80 for FOUR YEARS [microsoft.com]. (That's $20 a year, paid in advance.)



That includes the Office 2013 license, all the updates to Office for the next four years, plus the cloud stuff INCLUDING the 20GB of extra SkyDrive storage.

You do NOT receive CD Keys, your subscription is tied to your email address. That means you can install it on multiple computers. There's even a "temporary" streaming install that you can use on a loaner computer that uninstalls when your done, as well as just being able to work in the web pages like Google Docs (but better)



Once the subscription expires, Office will go into "Read Only" mode. If your documents in SkyDrive total more than your purchased space, SkyDrive goes into "Read Only" mode until you're below your space limit.

What happens to the documents I have stored in SkyDrive when my subscription expires?

Your documents will remain accessible to share and download. If you have reached your free 7 GB storage limit, you won’t be able to add any further documents. You’ll be able to view, share, and download files on your SkyDrive, but you won’t be able to upload files until you buy more storage or free up space.



If you don't have a .edu email address, you can try Office 365 Home Premium free for 1 month:

Free one month trial of Office 365 Home Premium includes access to 7 GB SkyDrive storage. An additional 20 GB storage will be enabled after the first month, once paid subscription begins.
