Each user has 5 licenses that can be installed on 5 different PCs, log in using the link and if your student email is qualified, you will be able to use the software.

enjoy!

MOD:

Appears to only work for universities who use Microsoft's services for email and skydrive.

    I got this message:

      It might only be working for universities who use Microsoft's services for email and skydrive.

        It's not the case. My uni uses GMail, and I managed to grab it

          They'll have their domain registered under 365, however would've left their MX records set as-is. This would be common practice for a department who is either experimenting/testing the 365 platform or is implementing at least one component provided under cheap/free licensing (usually OneDrive/SharePoint)

    Seems to be working with my old UTS email, Is the licence permanent?

    • clarenix0813 on 21/11/2014 - 17:29

      seems permanent as I see it.

    • TheAviator on 21/11/2014 - 19:33

      how did you make it work with your UTS email? Mine isn't working. (The UTS Email itself though definitely works, I still use it)

        what actual link are you guys using?? I've tried :

        but i don't know what email your logging in as, are you using your microsft account? I have a hotmail

        • steb89 on 21/11/2014 - 21:55

          @wired00: You don't need to sign up for an account. Your UTS email is your account, as UTS use Microsoft services (behind the scenes). Basically you use your UTS email, and your UTS password!

          @steb89:

          Ahhh haha, far out I feel like an idiot, all working now (its just as the standard uts email works of course because it already uses outlook online) but i download my email into a local email client.

          Anyway I realised it wasn't working because it wouldn't let me log in with my standard email format ie [email protected] I had to use my [email protected] format. now working fine but yeah, as others have said it seems to just allow access to outlook, both online and via the download

          thanks for that help :)

    "Office 365 ProPlus is offered as a monthly subscription. If you cancel your subscription, Office 365 ProPlus goes into reduced functionality mode. In reduced functionality mode, users can open and view existing Office files, but users can’t use most of the other features of Office 365 ProPlus."

    I'd be 100% sure before doing anything that might override an existing permanent version.

        • ctg on 22/11/2014 - 00:06
          +1

          Nope, due to licensing that your uni has/hasn't paid for, or activated against your account. For example, to save licensing costs, they may provide full licensing to faculty and admin staff but restrict student licensing to the lower tier, which is free.

        • robertm on 26/11/2014 - 22:57

          UQ shows Assigned Licenses: Exchange Online (Plan 1) for me in Office 365 settings and I can only get online access to outlook as well.

      Normal version is NOWHERE near that much - drop the first digit and you're closer to the mark.

      Free until your uni either cancels their 365 subscription, or your account is removed after you leave.

    This isn't a bargain - it's a result of the respective school/uni admins signing up their domains to Office 365 (requires a few DNS modifications, that's it; they don't even have to add MX records unless using Exchange).

    May be unknown to some though, and if your edu institution does proper account maintenance, you'll only have access for the duration of your enrolment. Probably worth bearing in mind.

    • MrNeil on 22/11/2014 - 07:10

      No, its a result of federating their directory with o365

      • ctg on 22/11/2014 - 13:43

        Not necessarily. You can use DirSync to do it which synchronizes credentials without having federation enabled.

    • ChemicalMan on 22/11/2014 - 09:01
      -1

      Did you even login?
      It should use oAuth and allow you to login with your schools credentials.

      This has nothing to do with DNS at all…

      • ctg on 22/11/2014 - 13:44

        If you can re-read my post, you'll see it mentions that the ADMINS are the ones doing those steps to register their domains with 365.

        That part has nothing to do with end users.

        • ChemicalMan on 22/11/2014 - 15:17

          I did re-read your post and you said all the ADMINS done was make a few "DNS modifications"….. its more involved that that (eg. settings up VMs, VPN to sync creds)

          You tried to make it sound like the ADMINS done this in 5 min and downplayed the entire setup. It is definitely not just "DNS modifications", however this might be unknown to some (i.e. you).
