preface
Recently, I found a video called "whoring with OneDrive 5T account" in the approval station. Wow, that's a bit like collecting coins. I'm sour. I can find a few temporary mailboxes of others with so many coins
Then look at the comments under the video. Wow, the discussion was really hot, but most of them were hearsay, right. This article will analyze 365's White whoring What's the difference? Formal payment/school/company provision is not discussed 。
Knowledge reserve
Before reading this article, we need to understand the following concepts:
1. Eligibility For the international edition only, that is, whether you are qualified to purchase a certain type of subscription directly, generally divided into four categories: Business, education, non-profit, government 。 Are you qualified to Management Center - Purchase Service See the following figure on the page:
2. Subscriptions and Licenses : The subscription needs to be purchased. Even if it is a free subscription of 0 yuan, there will be a corresponding license after the subscription is purchased; The license does not necessarily need to purchase a subscription, for example, Education A1 can Self-service sign up Self registration directly obtains a license without purchasing a subscription.
1、 Account acquisition
Generally for Office Class For example, it can be made public Self registration Of, Education only , and the low threshold Office 365 A1 Subscribed to, this subscription Cannot activate Office desktop application, so the only valuable thing is OneDrive. The space size is 1TB by default, Under the administrator's settings , which can be changed to 5TB. Once a user uses 90% of 5TB, the administrator can apply to Microsoft to increase the upper limit of storage space, the so-called 25TB account. Because domestic universities basically do not take over 365, that is, accounts registered using edu.cn email are basically unmanaged, and only the default 1TB space.
The so-called self-help registration is to apply for a 365 account with Microsoft through the education mailbox, so it appears Temporary mailbox Dafa At this time, someone would like to say that the temporary mailbox I use is not an educational domain name. Why can I also register? For the reason why non education email can also be registered, please see the mind map below. You can understand it after comparing subscription differences.
The acquisition of other types of subscription accounts depends on your own skills, which will not be discussed here.
2、 Account security and usage time
If there is a global administrator under the domain, then the administrator has your account/data whole See the following figure for access/operation permissions:
The usage time first depends on Microsoft. Will you check the water meter? This is Uncontrollable The relevant risks and rollover cases can be seen below; Secondly, it depends on the administrator whether he or she will delete your account.
For non administrator users to view the status of administrators in a domain, please see this article: https://moeclub.org/2019/01/18/730
3、 Differences between various accounts and subscriptions
Please see the mind map below, which includes the free subscriptions I have. Some bigwigs may have E5/Professional subscriptions, but I don't have any, so I won't write them. The picture is a bit large. It is recommended to save it locally for viewing: https://img.moedog.org/images/2019/08/21/3653.png
Updated on October 2019: The non-profit plan adds a new Microsoft 365 Business subscription, with a maximum license of 10, so we will not re map here.
Don't know when to update: The E3 developers in the trial version in the figure have become Microsoft 365 E5 Developer (castration version without Windows). The trial can be renewed if there is development (VS subscribers can automatically renew until VS subscription expires). For more information, please visit https://developer.microsoft.com/zh-cn/office/profile/ 。
Update 2020-04: Education qualification global can purchase Microsoft 365 A3 subscription for free, and the era of A1P is over.
In addition, the "white whoring" mentioned in the figure refers to global management, while Not a sub account You are welcome to teach me how to apply for a global account, but please do not teach me how to apply for a sub account.

4、 Possible seizure methods for informal subscriptions
Up to now, the existing seizure methods are listed according to the impact on existing users: Unassigned licenses are revoked, administrators are banned from logging in, licenses are revoked/subscriptions are disabled, and global accounts are deleted 。
General commercial/non-profit licensing Global:
Developer (MSDN) series/non-profit series/Symphony series: Disable subscription, unable to retrieve data ； Among them, MSDN subscription has the lowest rollover probability and Symphony subscription has the highest rollover probability. In other words, the Office 365 E3 Developer MSDN subscription is the most stable at present.
Updated on January 28, 2020: The login of administrator account is prohibited for Symphony subscription. At present, it may follow the old path of unlimited sub ID A1P.
A1/A1P brush license series: More common is Revoke Unassigned Licenses , even more serious may Disable administrator account login , or even delete global accounts (rarely).
Education Licensing Global: The rollover may be the same as above, but for the global with education authorization, if only the subscription/license revocation is disabled, A1 can "swipe the license" again to restore, and others cannot.
Of course, the overall rollover rate varies with different posture registration: first, if your IP/device/mobile phone number has registered many numbers, rollover may definitely rise; Secondly, if you have used the domain name for educational certification, if there are more global registrations under this domain name, it will also increase the rollover rate, and the key points are generally the same. If you have manually certified by means of certification documents, the risk will be much smaller; Finally, the usage of users in the domain is open to people to play with. With a large number of users and full files, the car may roll over. After all, a little check will show that you are not a regular school.
In addition: Mixed use of education/non-profit/commercial subscription will also increase the risk of rollover.
As for the following figure, it only refers to 2018 and earlier A1P Global (original 150w license global), and only for The administrator has been blocked from logging in Account for. Please do not spread unconfirmed remarks.
With regard to the education account applied to the regular school, there is basically no problem. See the school policy for details. If you don't go to school, it is normal for the school administrator to delete your number.
Write at the end
In a word, there must be risks in paying a prostitute for nothing. You can make your own data backup. If you want to go whoring for nothing to be absolutely stable, I'm afraid you can only sell your ass.
