Deakin's Office 365 subscription enables Deakin Students and Staff to install the Office 365 suite onto five computers for free whilst enrolled/employed at Deakin. The installation and management (licensing) of the software is controlled through your Deakin Office 365 account.

This software will only be available to use during your active student enrolment or staff employment at Deakin University. Once you depart the university, your license will expire and you will need to arrange your own personal subscription.

Make sure that any existing Microsoft Office installations are uninstalled from your computer before installing.
