With Office 365, Microsoft has changed Office licensing from a product license to a subscription model. This means that customers are now free to choose between a local installation or a cloud version with use in the browser. For companies that store their files on OneDrive in the Azure Cloud, using the browser version of MS Office is not necessary, but it is logical. For these companies and those that do not want to have a local Office installation on their SEAL Systems conversion server, we can now offer our new Microsoft Office Online Converter.
