Microsoft has unveiled another way to subscribe to Office 365, dubbing the new licensing tier "Personal".
Office 365 is Microsoft's subscription version of Office, and includes access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and other software in its productivity suite.
Office 365 Personal allows one computer and one tablet to use the suite for $89 a year or a monthly payment option of $9. That compares with $119 for Office 365 Home Premium, which can be used on up to five computers.Office 365 Home Premium will continue to be offered, but will be renamed Office 365 Home.
"We recognise that there are households of all shapes and sizes, and we’re committed to delivering the right Office for everyone – whether that be one person or an entire household," said Microsoft marketing manager Chris Schneider in a post on the Office blog.
Both consumer packages include 60 minutes of Skype calling each month and 20GB of additional OneDrive storage.
Subscriptions will be available this Autumn; Microsoft hasn't given a more specific date, but states that further details will be released soon.
Microsoft reports that it has already signed up 3.5 million consumers to Office 365.
