Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise is included in your University license for your personally-owned device. ITS does not provide support for the locally-installed versions of Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise on personal devices. ITS only supports the web-based versions of Microsoft 365 apps (e.g. Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) on personally-owned devices.
UAlbany faculty, staff, and students are entitled to install and use Microsoft 365 Apps (M365) (formerly called Office 365 ProPlus) on personally-owned devices while they have UAlbany Mail email accounts. Please click here for additional information.
This can be installed on up to 15 devices in total:
- 5 installations on Windows (Windows 10, 11) and Mac (the three most recent versions of macOS) devices
- 5 installations on smartphones
- 5 on tablet devices
You may deactivate the license for workstations where you have already installed the software to free up licenses, if needed.
