What happens if I add another Microsoft 365 for home subscription to my account?

 For home or personal use, you can choose from two Microsoft 365 subscriptions: Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Personal. However, your Microsoft account — the email address and password you use to install Office — can have only one active Microsoft 365 subscription.

If you add the same Microsoft 365 subscription to your Microsoft account, you’ll have the same subscription benefits (same number of Microsoft 365 devices you can sign in to and the same amount of Skype minutes and OneDrive storage) as before. You're extending the amount of time for that subscription, not increasing the number of Microsoft 365 devices you can sign in to or amount of online storage you get. You can extend the duration of a Microsoft 365 subscription for up to 5 years. Upgrade to Microsoft Family

For example, if you use a Microsoft 365 Personal product key to renew, and you currently have aMicrosoft 365 Family subscription, you'll be offered a choice to stay with Microsoft 365 Family subscription and receive less than a year of subscription benefits, since Microsoft 365 Family costs more, or you can switch to Microsoft 365 Personal.

What do you want to do?

If you already have a Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Personal subscription, the table below summarizes your options when you switch from one subscription to the other. To see full subscription details, like how many Microsoft 365 devices you can sign in to or the number of Skype minutes, see Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Whether you stay with the same subscription or switch to a different subscription, your online storage capacity per user doesn’t change. For example, if you have only one user on the subscription, you’ll have 1 terabyte of storage, but if you have Microsoft 365 Family and share with five other people, you get a total of 6 terabytes of storage.

I want to extend my subscription

When you add a Microsoft 365 subscription to an account that already has a Microsoft 365 subscription, any remaining time from your current subscription is added to the new one. For example, if you have 6 months left on your current Microsoft 365 Family subscription and you add a new yearly Microsoft 365 Family subscription to your account, we’ll extend it to 18 months.

If you try to add too many subscriptions at once to the same account, you’ll get a Redemption Failed error because you can’t exceed the 5-year maximum.

MSN Premium Targets Fast Net Users

When we tested a near-final version of the Microsoft product, we found a broad sweep of incremental changes in protection features, communication capabilities, and content compared with the company's earlier service. An emphasis on Microsoft technology and content strongly contrasts with AOL's outsourcing approach, and intermediate-level users will find the crisp and consistent interface with a denser text format more suitable than AOL's highly graphical, multimedia interface, which appeals to basic users.  MSN Premium Account Good Looks The primary navigation tool, a customizable toolbar at the top of the screen, carries over from Version 8. You can set it to show your most frequently used features, such as News, Search, and Maps, displaying them as text or small, medium, or large icons. The MSN Premium font is easy on the eyes, and many submenu screens have a lot of white space, letting you focus on a single setting or task without too many visual distractions. This versi...
