All active, full-time members of staff at the University are entitled to install the Microsoft Office suite of applications on a Windows PC or Mac. They can be installed on up to 5 devices you own, but you will have to be authenticated using your UofT credentials in each instance. For mobile versions (iPad\/iPhone, Android devices), install from the App Store and activate using your UofT credentials.
N.B. <\/strong>If your computer already has any versions of any Office apps installed, it is strongly recommended that you uninstall them before proceeding. New Windows PCs often ship with a demo version of Office — instructions for removing are further down this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove old\/demo versions of Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many Windows PCs ship with a demo version of Microsoft Office. It is important to remove these before installing the University’s licensed versions of Office apps. This guide will walk you through removing any current installations of Office on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid conflicts with the new install, we’ll want to first uninstall old versions of Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
