Could they do it? Deactivate Windows licenses, block Cloud services, access to Office 365 and whatnot?

      My family used that a lot but in trying to keep my research private I prefer to not use something proprietary. Which hurts me a little bit… :/

        I think I understand. I don’t know how Grammarly compares to Microsoft Office in terms of privacy though.

          What I mean is since I got into selfhosting services via my servers I try to keep as much data as I can in my own home. I know Microsoft Office calls to home so I try to stick to FOSS which I can guarantee doesn’t. I also don’t know but I bet grammarly does call home a lot since they use AI as well now.

          It’s still a good recommendation, so thank you! I know it does help my family more than word typically, so it’s a good product.

            I see, I misunderstood then. From your first post that I replied to, I assumed that you were using Microsoft Office. Sorry for the confusion. You’re welcome! I’ve never used it myself, but I get the impression that it works well.
