The online copy of 365 License terms

"

SUPPLEMENT TO MICROSOFT SERVICES AGREEMENT

MICROSOFT OFFICE 365 CONSUMER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE AND SOFTWARE"

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Useterms/OEM/Office365/Personal/Useterms_OEM_Office365_Personal_English.htm

has a strange entry

<snip>

        (ii)   Office 365 Personal, Office 365 University and Office 365 Solo.

</snip>

What is Office 365 Solo?  It is only mentioned in that one place in the document.

The same document (same name and date), displayed in an active 365 subscription does not mention 365 Solo.

    Japan is a special country in many ways, even when it comes to buying Microsoft Office.  The Japanese can buy Office in ways that Microsoft have dropped for the rest of the world. 

    Office 365 Home and Personal plans are sold, by Microsoft’s count, in 246 countries and territories but not Japan.

    Microsoft Japan has its own arrangements for selling Office 365.  Neither the Personal (single licence) or the more popular Home plan (five licenses) are available.

    The only ‘subscription’ option is Office 365Solo.  It’s a TWO license product as Microsoft says “can be installed on two Windows PCs or Macs used by the same user.”

    Hi Rohn007

    The Solo versions seems to be sold in a couple of countries around the world, here is is on the Japanese Microsoft Store, it seems to be the equivalent of Office 365 Personal . . .
