Here's my take on it.

If you already have a commercial license, you can add your iPad to it and maintain that.

If you don't already have a license, you can buy the one of your choosing through normal channels and use that, subject to whatever terms it imposes.

If you get the iPad app and buy a license as an in-app purchase, you'll get locked into a consumer license.

If you get the iPad app and want to get a commercial license through the app, you're out of luck.

Here's the key summary, from the second paragraph of the article:
Quote:
The only subscription currently available for purchase through the app is for Office 365 Home Premium, which specifically prohibits commercial use. (Business subscriptions for Office 365 are set up through an organizational portal. There's no practical way to sell those subscriptions via in-app purchase.)
