=== Addendum: W7 / 64 + Office2010 + Office365 simultaneous use: I advise against it! ===
Microsoft advertises Office365 to use with an older office together.
I mean to YES, but to a lesser extent:
After Office365, is running smoothly as described above on a brand new computer W8, I Office365 activated for my W7 machine with existing Office2010. According to Microsoft, simultaneous use of both office suites is expressly possible. Well, I see now different.
Meanwhile have been disabled on this second computer Office 365 (which goes with Mauscklick) and uninstalled (that goes manually: System-> Programs> Office365-> deinstalliweren + reboot).
Somehow these two combination did work already,
but but the current Problemmchen made use impractical.
Here is an incomplete selection of my experiences:
* It is impossible to open existing Office files by double-clicking with Office 2010.
Even the (attempted) adjusting the allocation of the file type to a program from Office2010 using Control Panel -> Default Programs; or Systemsteurung-> File extensions, ..) .. failed:
in the corresponding system dialogs Although two versions (eg 2 x Word) are offered for selection, but displayed with the same icon and the same headline. In part, behind the two icons but same contents (always an Office 2013 program), occasionally being behind an icon, the new version and behind another icon but the 2010 version but the old will not work)
** Also, opening of eg a .DOCX with Rechtscklick-> "open with" making it impossible to open the document using Word 2010.
* Outlook 2010 I could although, as intended, alternatively continue to use Outlook2013, but the synchronization with mobile phone via USB works without error immediately only by 2013. By 2010, there are certain reproducible errors (eg "fields for synchronization is not found), although the same perfect before installing Office2013 worked.
* .PPS Files can no longer open by Doppelcklick (not even with Office365), neither in the file system (from Windows Explorer) or as attachments in Outlook (whether Outlook 2010 or 365)
which leads to different phenomena, for example, are displayed by double-clicking a .PPS in Outlook any image files, maybe from a TEMP directory or so, neither PowerPoint starts still is the right notes with a case's program appears ..)

Addendum after 2 months: Family Pack Yes, but with a deficiency in MAC
************************************************** *********************
+ Use the pack to 3 computers, but I think the price is good
+ Activation and Installation on a Mac my child had any problems
- The MAC version is quite old. But that is known and indicated in products Inge shafts, so no points deduction.
- Correction 04/03/2014: I found out the obvious: each family member can get his own Accoutnt and his eigegen licenses enable / disable from the pack itself. Therefore I have rewritten this paragraph:
The MAC version has in the two months of operation three times forget that it is a paid, licensed version and has refused their service. Log in to Microsoft account deaktiveiern and reactivating helped. Google finds some users with the same problem.
To be fair, I must add that I have not turned me on Microsoft Support with the problem, but I googled some requests from other users on Microsoft Supoort to the same subject, and none of the answers was helpful and not leaving competence suspect from support on this topic , The answers were nice, but according to the motto "You are installing the product please re - Oh, that did not help !?".
