I got my Office365 directly from Microsoft several years ago. When I got it, there were 2 options, monthly or yearly. I went with yearly. Now Office365 is available through the Mac AppStore, and I guess the only option available is monthly, though I’ve never given it a good look because I’ve already got it.

I know I'm late to the party, but as to the subscribing to Office 365 yearly or monthly, I was only given the option to subscribe to it yearly. My subscription ends in November and I plan to renew it, but for now I don't need to worry. But how do you select the monthly option or is that really not a thing?
