Installing Office 365

by Eric Kraus

Remember the Office Home Use Program (HUP) ? It’s now even better with Office 365.

Benefits

  • It takes about 5 minutes to install a FULL functioning copy of Office
  • You can install the new Office side-by-side on a computer that has another copy of Office on it (2003, 2007, 2010, etc.)
  • Because it will be connected to your corporate login it will keep all of your settings from other PCs, recent documents etc.
  • You can deploy up to 5 copies of Office, including home computers with both Mac OS and Windows
  • This is only available through the Office 365 service.
