Microsoft A1 Plus License Retirement Occurring August 2024
The Microsoft Office suite has been a part of Denison’s software list for several years. This year, Microsoft changed its practice of providing unlimited Office365 licenses to educational institutions. While we will still receive basic licensing, keeping our fiscal responsibility in mind, Denison has purchased a limited number of additional higher-tier licenses to meet the needs of our campus.
What does this mean for me?
On 08/01/2024, if you are an enrolled student, teaching faculty, or a staff member who has used a Microsoft Office product in the last 12 months, this change will not affect your ability to use the Microsoft Office products.
If you are a staff member who has not used the Office products in the last 12 months, you will be assigned an A1 tier license by default which will allow you to read files in the Microsoft suite on your Denison-owned computer, but you will be unable to save the file to your desktop. You can continue using Office Online, but you will not be able to install the Microsoft Office applications on your Denison-owned device. Should you need to install the Microsoft Office applications to your Denison-owned device, you will need to request a higher-tier A3 license.
To use Office Online:
- Go to office365.denison.edu and sign in with your BigRedID@denison.edu email address (e.g. doej@denison.edu) and password.
To start using Office Online, just click the icon for the desired app.
Availability of higher-tier license
- Students:
- Students can use Microsoft applications on classroom and lab computers.
- All active students are assigned a named Microsoft Office application license by default that allows the installation and full use of Microsoft Office applications.
- Teaching Faculty:
- Teaching faculty are assigned a named Microsoft Office application license by default that allows installation and full use of Microsoft Office applications on your Denison-owned machines.
- Staff:
- While not provided by default, staff can request a named license to install the Microsoft Office applications as a Denison employee.
Questions?
If you have additional questions, would like to review your options, or would like to request a license, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or email servicedesk@denison.edu.
