Q&A
Microsoft 365 Professional Plus Q&A:
-
- Microsoft 365 ProPlus is the full version of Office, offering many Office versions available in various Microsoft 365 plans, including Access, Excel, InfoPath, Lync, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word. These programs have the same functions and features as other Office versions.
- Microsoft 365 ProPlus and other Office versions have the same system requirements!
- Microsoft 365 ProPlus, like other Office versions, provides installation files based on your operating system version (32-bit or 64-bit) for direct installation.
-
Whether on Windows or Mac, as long as you are a current student or staff member of the university, you can log in to the "Cloud Email Service" here to download and install Microsoft 365 on your local machine, without restrictions based on campus network or additional authentication.
-
Microsoft 365 ProPlus is designed to run on local computers, so it does not require a continuous internet connection. However, users must connect to the internet at least once every 30 days to check the status of their Microsoft 365 subscription.
-
Depending on the user license, Office or the Office app can be installed on PC, Mac, Windows tablets, iPad®, Android™ tablets, and most mobile devices. Editing Office-related documents on the go is easy!

No upgrade fees are required; during the contract period, new features will be regularly released to Microsoft 365 customers.

Files created in O365 can be opened in any Office version except Office 2003. Even if a file is created in Office 2003 with the .doc extension, it can still be opened in O365.
