Thank you!

Ben

Just a heads up. Be careful how you enter your email. You may need to know your server. At first I tried my usual email I give out (*****@ucsd.edu) but that didn’t work.

So I put in the full server name (*****@sdcc17.ucsd.edu) and it accepted that.
This won’t be the same for any user, just though I’d share what worked for me.

Touro

Works for Touro college! Nice

Thanks Dan

Doesn’t work for FDU

It works for mail.yu.edu addresses.

If your school is not eligible, but you are a student, you can get a great deal (not free) buying Office University 365. It only comes with 2 licenses instead of 5, but it is a 4 year subscription for $75. Works on PC, Mac, and/or tablet

@Ben:
can you explain that one? How do i know what my server is?

@dans the man

How long can I use this plan for?
If you are eligible, you can use the plan until you graduate or are no longer enrolled at a qualified school. Student eligibility may be re-verified at any time. At expiration, the Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means documents can be viewed but it isn’t possible to edit or create new documents. In addition, online services associated with the school email address, for example Office Online and OneDrive, will no longer work.

downloaded it but it asks for the product key or offers 30 day trial and i used a yu.edu address
how do you register it?

I already have office pro and don’t want 365 but want to upgrade to the 1tb one drive offered. Any ideas on how to switch the sign in on my desktop to the 365 version? It doesn’t seem like the 365 login info works for linking to a desktop one drive.

@J: Why do need to change the login of Office pro? just download onedrive and login to that.

J

@Shuey: One drive is already on my comp (comes with windows 8.1) but it won’t let me switch my log in to the office 360 one.

@Andrew L:
must you have a working email

Confused

I don’t understand. It says the offer is for teachers too, but the offer is only if the school already bought licenses for staff/faculty”
“In order to be eligible for this benefit, the student must attend a school that has purchased Office organization-wide for all faculty/staff via the Microsoft Volume Licensing program.”
Does this mean that an office pro plus license would be upgraded to Office 365?

Judith H

This works with the free alumni email addresses that colleges and universities give out. so you do not need to be a student just have a .edu email address

csun student

I’ve tried csun email and didn’t work. Any luck with csun emails?

Rob

i signed up with two different school email addresses. it lets me download the programs but then when i load them it tells me the account associated with XXX.edu isnt associated with this office product and wont load it. anyone seeing a similar problem?
thanks!

Anonymous

yup I am

Sad Student

@Rob: Yea, I had the same problem. Not really sure what thats all about though.

Adi

Tried with my @alumni.fdu.edu and its not working 🙁 nor @californiacolleges.edu

dina beck

Check under licenses to make sure your institution has all five licenses, namely the latest version of office desktop

if you have all five, you may have to set it up separately under office 365: your account: settings. or: https://portal.office.com/OLS/MySoftware.aspx

(if you cant get to the proper place, play around in Google search with these keywords because i could not find anything in help addressing the problem in Microsoft. )

Good luck!

Look here http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/266259.aspx
Looks like every one is having this issue with email account not associated

dina beck

yes, however, you can still get the online version, even on a mac.

K

Yay nova.edu! Thia is fantastic!

touro?

Didn’t work for touro!

PraiseCanada

No good for Israeli or Canadian schools, seems

Ben

@Anonymous:

Well the first thing I would do is try to come contact the academic support at the institution of choice. Ask them what the incoming mail server for your account is. That may help.

DM

Was anyone able to fully install it?
Does anyone know the product key?

Gomer

I work in the field and you guys have it wrong. This is simply a self-registration option that Microsoft just introduced for the Student Advantage program that’s been around for a while. It is only valid for organizations that have purchased an annual site license. If you find one and manage to get it work and are not affiliated with the organization, you are just installing a bootleg copy of Office, same as if you borrow discs and do an unlicensed installation.

Dew

As pointed above it doesn’t work. Worse, it screwed up my installation of a previous Office version. Microsoft is evil never trust them.

touro student

@Touro:
my touro email ****@student.touro.edu does not work any ideas what to do

Benjamin

@Gomer
So how do you know wether or not your institution has purchased the annual site license??

Touro

I never use my student email… how can I find out what it is?

dina beck

Touro has all five licenses offered to students, and it just takes a bit of patience for the desktop version to finish authorizing. mine was temporarily on until it finally authorized yesterday. i am working on getting it as an ap now.

thank you Dan!

touro, try logging into your touro portal, which will lead you to your email/email adress. or perhaps, call or email your campus’ secretary.
Good luck!

gl
