## Can I use my Office 365 subscription to run Office applications in Azure RemoteApp?

Yes! In fact, using your Office 365 subscription is the only way to bring your Office applications to Azure RemoteApp.
Yes! In fact, using your Office 365 subscription is the only way to bring your Office applications to Azure RemoteApp.

(Note: If your Azure RemoteApp deployment is delivered by a hosting partner, they may be able to provide you with Office licenses based on a [Service Provider Licensing Agreement](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/licensing-programs/spla-program.aspx))


The great thing about your Office 365 subscription is that it lets you use the same user license on many different platforms and environments, including the Azure cloud. When you use Office applications in Azure RemoteApp you don't need to purchase additional licenses or configure your existing licenses in any special way. All you need is an Office 365 subscription that includes [Office 365 ProPlus](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/Gg702619.aspx).

### Disable automatic updates for Office 365 ProPlus in your custom image - IMPORTANT

Your custom image is used by Azure RemoteApp as a template for adding additional resources as the demand from your users increases. To prevent delays and connection issues, disable automatic updated for Office in the image. If you do not, then every resource created with that template will automatically update when it is started. Instead, use the standard Azure RemoteApp process for updating your custom image. That way you update the Office applications once on the template image and then let Azure RemoteApp take care of getting the updates to your users.
