Installing, managing, and using Office 365
If I already have the latest version of Office for PC or Office for Mac on my computer, do I need to uninstall it before I download Office 365 ProPlus?
If you already have the latest version of Office, there’s no need to install the Office 365 ProPlus version. If you still want to install the Office 365 ProPlus version, you must uninstall your original version first. Make sure you know your product key and keep it in a safe place before uninstalling Office.
If I have an earlier version of Office on my computer, do I need to uninstall it before I download Office 365 ProPlus?
If you have an earlier version of Office and know your product key, Penn recommends uninstalling it before installing Office 365 ProPlus for optimal performance. Keep your product key in a safe place because you will need it if you choose to reinstall your existing version of Office at a later date.
Your product key is 25 characters and is typically found in your product’s original packaging or in the confirmation email you received after purchasing a product online. If you purchased Microsoft Office from the Computer Connection, your product key is on the back of the CD sleeve. You should keep your product key in a safe place because you will need it if you choose to reinstall your product.
If you don’t know your product key or would prefer not to uninstall your previous version of Office, you can still install Office 365 ProPlus. Office 365 ProPlus will run alongside previous installations. It may change your file associations and set itself up as default however, which makes it look as if your previous copy of Office isn't there anymore. If you check your list of programs/applications, you should see both versions listed.
How do I access PennO365 and install Office 365 ProPlus on my computers and mobile devices?
After you activate your account, use your PennO365 username and password to log in to Microsoft’s online portal and follow the instructions to install Office 365 ProPlus applications on your computers and devices. For more details, see the Office 365 ProPlus for personal computers and mobile devices tab on this website.
Can I install Office 365 ProPlus on my University-managed work computer or on a public computer in a lab or at the library?
No, you cannot install Office 365 ProPlus on your work computer or a public computer. For information about installing or updating Microsoft Office on a work or public computer, please contact your LSP or student computing support center. See the Get IT Help directory to find your support provider. If you are still unsure who to contact, please contact ISC Client Care.
Although you cannot install Office 365 ProPlus applications on a University managed work or public computer, you can log into PennO365 and access Office Online through the local web browser. You will not be able to install Office 365 ProPlus or sync locally saved files to OneDrive. However, you can download or upload locally saved files to OneDrive via your web browser.
Should I install 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office 365 ProPlus?
Most users will do fine with the 32-bit version - it takes up less memory so won't affect performance as much. However, if you are planning to use memory intensive aspects of the software (such as complex functions in Excel), you may want to choose the 64-bit option.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to run Office 365 ProPlus applications?
You will need to be connected to the Internet the first time you run one of the Office 365 ProPlus applications, so that the activation process can be completed. After that, you only have to connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days to check the status of the subscription. If your computer or mobile device is offline for more than 30 days, Office 365 ProPlus enters Reduced Functionality mode until the next time you connect to the Internet.
What is reduced functionality mode?
In reduced functionality mode, you can open, view and print your existing Office files, but you can’t use most of the other features of Office 365 ProPlus. You will not be able to install new instances of Office 365 ProPlus and you will not be able to create, save, or edit files. Your computer or device enters reduced functionality mode when:
- You haven’t connected to Internet for more than thirty days.
- You deactivate its license
- Your PennO365 account expires after you graduate or leave the University.
How do I reactivate a 365 ProPlus license that has entered reduced functionality mode?
To reactivate a license has entered reduced functionality mode because you haven’t connected to Internet in over 30 days, or because you have previously deactivated it:
1. Connect to the Internet.
2. Open any Office365 ProPlus application.
3. When prompted, select Sign In – Add this computer to an active account.
4. Enter your PennO365 username and password when prompted. This will reactivate all Office 365 ProPlus applications on your personal computer or mobile device.
How do I deactivate a license so that I can use Office 365 ProPlus on another computer or mobile device?
To deactivate a license on a personal computer or mobile device:
1. Login to the online portal using your PennO365 username and password.
2. Go to settings in the upper right-hand corner (the gear icon next to your name).
3. Select Office 365 settings.
4. Select Software.
5. Select Office. A list of computers and devices where you have installed Office 365 ProPlus will appear.
6. Select deactivate next to the device to remove the license and make it available for use on another computer or device. When you deactivate Office 365 on a computer or mobile device, it enters reduced functionality mode. You will be able to view and print your documents, but all features for editing or creating new documents will be disabled.

What happens to my PennO365 for Students account after I graduate or leave Penn?

You will not lose any documents created and stored locally on your personal computers or devices. Documents saved on OneDrive will NOT be accessible after you graduate or leave Penn and must be downloaded and saved locally before your PennO365 account expires.

What is Office 365 ProPlus?

With this plan, each user can access Office experiences on up to 5 PCs or Macs and on their mobile devices. Unlike the traditional Office installations that could be installed only on computers, the Office 365 ProPlus gives you flexible deployment options from which you can pick and choose the best-suited choice.
What is the difference between Office 365 ProPlus and Office Professional Plus 2016?
Office 365 ProPlus includes all the applications from Office Professional Plus 2019 and more. However, Office Professional Plus 2019 is a traditional Office installation that is physically installed on computers and is available through volume licensing or Office Content Delivery Network (CDN). Whereas Office 365 ProPlus is a user-based service, which is available as a subscription-based plan.
Why would I choose Office 365 ProPlus over Office Professional Plus 2016?
Office 365 ProPlus offers several advantages compared to Office Professional Plus 2019. It includes several capabilities like Ideas in Excel, Researcher in Word, storage facility with OneDrive, real-time collaboration with several users on various applications, and enhanced security features not available with Office Professional Plus 2019. Most importantly, while Office 365 ProPlus is supported on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, and the two of the latest versions of macOS, Office Professional Plus 2019 cannot be used on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
Office ProPlus also allows you to download new features and updates more frequently, with time to test and validate releases before fully deploying them. Updates happen without work interruption, as they are cached in the background. When the user closes and re-opens the Office application, it is up to date.
With Office 365 ProPlus, users can install Office on up to five PCs or Macs concurrently and they also have access to mobile Office experiences across smartphones, tablets, and other devices.
For offices that allow bring-your-own-device (BYOD) to work, Office 365 ProPlus can de-activate Office when users leave the organization or their device gets compromised. In terms of investment, you could also treat Office as an operational cost instead of a software asset.
Will I have control over software updates if I use Office 365 ProPlus?
Yes, you can configure Office 365 ProPlus to apply only the software updates you have chosen after testing and validation. You can handle software updates totally in-house, either by through software distribution tools or by asking Office 365 ProPlus to look for updates at your file shares or URLs.
