Thanks for the info and experience. &nbsp;Basically it seems like a good idea for small business to do a direct purchase, unless they have a very solid relationship with their reseller.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Just wondering how much control a company has over Office365 licenses. &nbsp;if a company licenses Office365 from a reseller, whether it's a system integrator or even GoDaddy, if they want to discontinue the relationship with that reseller can they take control of the licenses. &nbsp;Can they start paying Microsoft directly and eliminate the reseller. &nbsp;Or do they have to completely create a new account, transfer the licenses and setttings, etc to the new reseller agnostic account?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Office365 Licenses from Reseller Transferable?

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
