Not sure if anyone has ever set this up?  I made an account so that as a charity, we can get 365 business for free but I'm stuck as to next steps.  I just want to install it, anyone know how?

You possibly can't install it and may have to run it through a Web portal. 

I may be wrong but I seem to remember 2 tier pricing when we moved over to it, online only or off line. Offline also allows online use across multiple devices. 

Thanks. I’ve sent an email. Seems too good an offer to ignore so will persevere. 

As I read it you get 'premium' so you should be able to download.

Looking at our paid setup, Have you navigated to the admin centre? - The topology is definitely aimed at the IT crowd!

This where you manage licence and users. Then in the standard office.com login you should have an install button in the top right. 

Ive got to the install button but then get a message:  'you currently have not been assigned an office licence that includes  the office desktop apps.....'.  Thats were i get stuck.

I think you only get the web and mobile versions for free. If you want to install Office products on a PC you have to pay. At least, that's what I think it says here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/nonprofit/office-365-nonprofi...

It's confusing as there is a banner across the middle of the page that says

    Get Microsoft 365 Business Premium free

But reading below I tend to agree with your comment. 

You're right, it's confusing.

I think you're right on all points, but you've helped me get my head around it.  Think it may be cheaper getting a 365 Home (only need it on 5 devices).

Depending on the functionality you need, the free software LibreOffice might provide an alternative. Worth a look, anyway.
