Reminder:
When your service is terminated in LSCA, along with your domain email your Office 365 subscription also ends.
After the suspension of your account, the Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means documents can be viewed but it isn’t possible to edit or create new documents. In addition, online services associated with the school email address, for example Office Online and OneDrive, will no longer function.
Instead, you may opt to purchase the consumer or commercial versions of Office 365.
You may also try downloading the mobile version (Android / iPhone) of Office 365 for free and login on these apps using your domain email and Microsoft password. When working using your laptop or desktop computer save your document on your OneDrive folder and automatically view or edit the same document when using your mobile phones anytime, anywhere.
