If you have Office 365 product key for some licences, you need to activate it in order to use services. You have to visit the following URL:

sign in or create new account and just apply the product key!
Every user in a subscription must have the same end date. Adding a user license to an existing subscription will license the new user through the original expiration date of the subscription. Any additional time will be applied to all existing user licenses, and will extend the subscription’s overall end date.
For example, customer has an Office 365 subscription with 100 seats. However, in month 10, customer adds 100 additional seats. The expiration date for all 200 seats is now 5 months past the expiration date of the first 100 seats. The calculation is as follows: (100 seats x 10 months) / 200 seats
In many projects we have the same request from end users: “To rename Status Approval column”. As you already know, this column is not visible in List Settings and therefore it cannot be changed as many other columns. But here is a simple trick:
On October 1, 2014, Microsoft will release three new Office 365 plans tailored to meet the needs of small and midsized businesses (SMBs), ranging from 1 to approximately 250 employees.
The new plans are:
This new lineup will replace our current plans for SMBs over time – Small Business, Small Business Premium and Midsize Business (more on that below). The current Enterprise plans will remain the same.
By default, OneDrive for Business is used to sync the documents of a SharePoint document library down to local computer for offline access. Any user that has access to the document library has the option to Sync one or more libraries. In some cases company rights and policies request to disable this option for all users. If you log into your SharePoint site, and click on a document library, you should see a Sync button on the top right corner.
If you want to hide that button, or just disable in global settings, you need to click the gear in the top right and go to Site Settings. Choose link that says Search and offline availability.
You will see a line that says Offline Client Availability, and set the the option to no, then hit OK
That’s it.

You have activated O365 paid licences, but after some time red bar notification is present in all Office applications? Let me explain the easiest way to fix that problem:
This is a quick post to show the code snippet I used to wrap the global navigation items in SharePoint 2013. You can also use custom CSS code in order to get some space between navigation lines and items. First, open default masterpage of your site collection and find the following:
<SharePoint:AspMenu ID="TopNavigationMenu" Runat="server" EnableViewState="false" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>" UseSimpleRendering="true" UseSeparateCss="false" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticDisplayLevels="2" AdjustForShowStartingNode="true" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2" SkipLinkText="" />
and replace with the code below:
<SharePoint:AspMenu ID="TopNavigationMenu" Runat="server" EnableViewState="false" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>" UseSimpleRendering="false" UseSeparateCss="false" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticDisplayLevels="2" AdjustForShowStartingNode="true" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2" SkipLinkText="" ItemWrap="true" RenderingMode="List" cssClass="mycss"/>
As you can see, the only diference is:
ItemWrap="true" RenderingMode="List" cssClass="mycss"
Create custom CSS file with the following content:
.mycss .level1
{
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.mycss .level2
{
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.mycss .level3
{
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
When you set up Office 365, you might have a choice between managing your own DNS records at your DNS hosting provider and having Office 365 create and manage the DNS records for your domain. I definitely recommend letting your existing hosting provider or domain registrar to manage your records, because in case you decide to host MX records outside of Office 365 , it will not be possible. Simply, you can’t change your DNS records to host email outside of Office 365.
