SharePoint Foundation 2013 10GB Monthly Subscription

A new Microsoft 365 account is always associated with a subscription that your purchase from Microsoft or a Cloud Solution Provider, also known as a reseller. The platform for the new account is called a tenant where the security, features and users are managed in a central administration site. Your tenant will be created and the SharePoint Foundation 2013 10GB Monthly Subscription provisioned as a part of the sign-up process.

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 account 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.
