Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1

A Microsoft 365 subscription that your purchase from a Microsoft or a Cloud Solution Provider, also known as a reseller, is always associated with a tenant. The tenant is a platform where the security, features and users are managed in a central administration site. If you don't already have a tenant one will be provisioned as a part of the sign-up process and the Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 subscription will be added.

When evaluating pricing and value amongst different providers it's important to read the fine print. If you find a lower price on a subscription be sure to check the commitment term. Many of these will have a year or longer commitment which means that if you wish to cancel or reduce the number of subscriptions you are still obligated through the end of the year for that subscription. Our commitment terms are monthly which gives your business greater flexibility to adjust the number of subscriptions on a monthly basis. We also provide personalized, expedient and friendly support that is unequaled in the industry.

Your Microsoft 365 tenant is independent of where you choose to purchase your subscriptions. You can purchase subscriptions directly from Microsoft or from a variety of official Cloud Solution Providers, also known as a reseller, at the same time. To transfer your Microsoft 365 subscription to a new reseller you only need to cancel the subscriptions with the other provider effective the start date of the new subscriptions.

When a Microsoft 365 tenant is first provisioned its domain is created as "mycompany.onmicrosoft.com" where "mycompany" is a distinct name for the business or organization. When users are created their login user name by default will be "user1@mycompany.onmicrosoft.com" until a custom domain is added. To setup a custom domain with Microsoft 365 it only requires adding a few DNS settings with your domain registrar. Once this is done users can login with a more readable user name such as "user1@mycompany.com".

Many subscriptions in the Microsoft 365 suite of products or other Cloud Managegement software packages come with components that you download to your computer for use such as Office 365. Once your subscription is provisioned and assigned to a user the software can be downloaded from www.office.com. The user must be logged in with their Office 365 user account.
