取消个人(Personal)或家庭 Microsoft 365(Family Microsoft 365)订阅
取消Microsoft 365订阅的最简单方法是访问公司网站。该站点在Windows(Windows)或Mac计算机上更易于浏览，但您也可以在 iPhone 或Android上访问它。
当您准备取消时，请转到Microsoft 的订阅页面(Microsoft’s subscriptions page)并使用您的Microsoft帐户登录。
您将看到一个管理订阅(Manage subscription)部分，其中列出了您的Microsoft订阅的详细信息 - 您的计划何时到期、下一个计费日期、付款方式以及年度或每月订阅的总价。
选择取消订阅(Cancel subscription)并按照屏幕上的步骤确认取消。
或者，您可以选择关闭(Turn off )定期计费(recurring billing)以禁用自动续订。如果您这样做，Microsoft不会在您的月度或年度订阅到期时向您收费。
如果您没有看到取消选项，请检查标有“开启(Turn on )定期计费”的按钮。(recurring billing.)” 如果您看到该按钮，您的订阅将不会自动续订。
取消 Microsoft 365 商业版
对于订阅Microsoft 365的企业，取消流程有所不同。在取消订阅之前，您可能需要采取额外的步骤，例如减少组织中的许可证数量。
您应该在续订日期前几天开始此过程，以避免您必须再次支付订阅费的情况。您还应该检查您的Microsoft帐户是否具有全局管理员或计费管理员权限，因为其他帐户类型将无法取消付费订阅。
首先，您应该检查您的Microsoft(Microsoft)帐户中是否有计费配置文件。在Microsoft 365管理中心，转到计费(Billing)>计费和付款(Billing & payments)。在下一页上，单击计费配置文件(Billing profiles)选项卡以查看您是否有计费配置文件。
如果这样做，请转到Microsoft管理中心的计费(Billing)>你的产品(Your products)页面。选择您不再需要的订阅。
在订阅详细信息页面上，单击订阅(Subscription)和付款设置下的编辑(Edit )定期计费。(recurring billing)现在您可以选择关闭(Turn off)以停止定期计费。在此期间，您应该要求组织中的每个人在续订日期之前保存他们的数据。
或者，您可以转到账单(Billing)>您的产品(Your products)页面并找到您要取消的订阅。单击此旁边的三点按钮，然后选择(three-dots)Cancel subscription。您现在可以提供取消原因，然后单击保存(Save)以完成该过程。
如果您没有计费配置文件，并且您的组织使用 25 个或更少的许可证，则可以按照上述取消步骤进行操作。如果它使用超过 25 个许可证，您应该去管理中心并将它们减少到 25 个或更少。然后，您可以按照相同的步骤取消您的付费订阅。
取消Microsoft 365 for Business 订阅后会发生什么(Business Subscription)
取消Microsoft 365商业版后，您的帐户进入禁用状态。取消订阅后，管理员(Admin)帐户可以访问和备份组织的数据长达 90 天。

Microsoft将在取消后 90 到 180 天内 删除你的Microsoft 365帐户中的所有数据。

How to Cancel Your Microsoft 365 Subscription
Microsoft 365 (previously Office 365) is a subscription to Office apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint, plus 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage. If you don’t use it anymore, here’s how to cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription.
Cancel a Personal or Family Microsoft 365 Subscription
The simplest way to cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription is by going to the company’s website. The site is somewhat easier to navigate on a Windows or Mac computer, but you can also access it on iPhone or Android.
When you’re ready to cancel, go to Microsoft’s subscriptions page and sign in with your Microsoft account.
You’ll see a Manage subscription section that lists the details of your Microsoft subscription—when your plan expires, the next billing date, the payment method, and the total price for your annual or monthly subscription.
Select Cancel subscription and follow the steps on-screen to confirm cancellation.
Alternatively, you can select Turn off recurring billing to disable auto-renew. If you do this, Microsoft won’t charge you when your monthly or annual subscription lapses.
If you don’t see a cancellation option, check for a button labeled “Turn on recurring billing.” If you see that button, your subscription will not auto-renew.
Cancel Microsoft 365 for Business
The cancellation process is different for those with a business subscription to Microsoft 365. Before you unsubscribe, you may have to take extra steps like reducing the number of licenses in your organization.
You should start this process a few days before the renewal date to avoid a situation where you have to pay the subscription fee again. You should also check if your Microsoft account has global admin or billing admin privileges because other account types will not be able to cancel the paid subscription.
First, you should check if you have a billing profile in your Microsoft account. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Billing > Billing & payments. On the next page, click the Billing profiles tab to see if you have a billing profile.
If you do, go to the Billing > Your products page in the Microsoft admin center. Select the subscription you don’t want anymore.
On the subscription details page, click Edit recurring billing under Subscription and payment settings. Now you can select Turn off to stop recurring billing. While you’re at it, you should ask everyone in your organization to save their data before the renewal date.
Alternatively, you can go to the Billing > Your products page and find the subscription you want to cancel. Click the three-dots button next to this and select Cancel subscription. You can now provide a reason for cancellation and click Save to finish the process.
If you don’t have a billing profile, you can follow the cancellation steps outlined above if your organization uses 25 or fewer licenses. If it uses more than 25 licenses, you should go to the admin center and reduce them to 25 or fewer. You can then follow the same steps to cancel your paid subscription.
What Happens After Canceling a Microsoft 365 for Business Subscription
After canceling Microsoft 365 for business, your account enters a disabled state. Admin accounts can access and backup your organization’s data for up to 90 days after a canceled subscription.
Users will not be able to access OneDrive for business. Office apps such as Word, Excel, OneNote, and others will move into a reduced functionality mode. Users will also start seeing unlicensed product notifications, which appear when Microsoft Office activation fails.
Microsoft will delete all the data in your Microsoft 365 account between 90 and 180 days after cancellation.
Microsoft 365 Alternatives
If you find Microsoft 365 too expensive, you should first see if you can get it for free. You could also consider these free alternatives to Microsoft Office.
For those who want to shift to a free and open-source alternative, here’s our comparison between LibreOffice and Microsoft Office. It’ll help you decide if LibreOffice is right for you. You can also consider transferring your Office license from one computer to another if you use the variant of Office that requires a product key.
