Paying more and getting less turns out to be a popular operating procedure in those days. This is what Microsoft 365 users (the new elegant call for Microsoft Office) are about to live, because the VPN includes the service is deserted on February 28.
According to an assistance note on the Microsoft site, the company “regularly evaluates the use and power of our functionalities” and that the VPN was no longer a mandatory component of Microsoft 365.
In truth, it is not a primary loss. Microsoft’s VPN came here with a 50 GB knowledge per restricted month and did not allow him Traffic, of course, but not much more.
However, it is a bit opposite, because the first building follows in the subscription positions of Microsoft 365 in 12 years. Personal plans and the circle of relatives now charge $ 3 more consistent with the month, a construction of approximately 43%. Supposedly, buildings are justified by adding limited co -ilot characteristics, which referred to paying an additional module of $ 20.
This complementary module still exists if the limited ia credits included in the new subscriptions are not enough for you, however, my skeptical colleagues of AI only have one way to avoid paying more for the service without VPN without VPN: during the next 12 Months, existing subscribers can do so for a “Microsoft 365 Classic” or “Microsoft 365 Family Classic” plan, which all the same existing plans, except AI (and Vpnarray, of course). However, the company states that “evaluates the duration of the availability of these subscriptions”, so they would not be long.
New customers, meanwhile, have no choice but to go along with the new prices. On the plus side, despite its lack of a VPN, the current 365 plan does still include identity theft protection and credit monitoring.
