Nothing wrong with that approach.
My point was addressing mulitple users in a small business or consumer 
preferring or needing Office, where economics indicate a single sharable 
subscription license even with an annual subscription can be more cost 
effective than multiple users purchasing single license, single use.

M365 Family shared with 5 others(6 total users, anyone anywhere in the 
same country - family, coworkers in the same business) can be more 
economical than 6 people purchasing stand alone versions.

1. For 6 users - 5 yrs of subscription $500 => $83 per person or $17/yr
vs.
2. For 6 users - 6 stand-alone Office Home used for 5 yrs $900 => $150 
per person, $30 per year.

  #1 Never goes out of support, the end of support date increases every 3 
yrs(the release cycle time for M365-Office), stand-alone support ends at 
5 yrs

The lower cost per user break-even point in the above is the 9th yr. At 
that point in time, the perpetual(e.g. stand-alone Office 2024) purchased 
will have been out of support for at least 4 yrs.

Prediction<g> - at time time Newyana2 will still be complaining about 
end-of-support for an earlier soon to be non-supported o/s and 
recommmending to buy an older no longer supported or soon to be no longer 
supported version.

And if Office is needed or desired, online connected is a given for 
installation, retaining activation, and full feature use.
