Office Professional Plus 2021/Office 365 Licensing Information
Main Devices
Since 2021, the new licence agreement with Microsoft for the Office products has been in force. During the term of the licence agreement, employees of Leipzig University's higher education sector are able to use a version of Office Professional Plus for personal, sole use on their own workstation/main computer. New PCs with Office Professional Plus are set up via the local admins or the URZ.
Adjacent devices
If there are other personal devices (second devices, other devices for mobile work, etc.) in addition to the main computer, it is possible to equip these devices with Office programmes in addition to the Office Professional Plus version. This is possible via the Office 365 Apps for Enterprise. There is a limit of 5 Office 365 licences per user (plus a maximum of 5 smartphones and 5 tablets). An application and consent form is required to use Office 365. This consent and use of Office 365 is voluntary. With the application, first and last name, university email address and university login are transferred to Microsoft. The application can be made via the IDM portal (idm.uni-leipzig.de). Installation can be carried out decentrally by the users/admins.
Free-access (non-personal) devices
In addition, on the basis of the licence agreement, it is possible to install Office Professional Plus software on public devices in all freely accessible rooms or libraries within Leipzig University. The installation is carried out by the local admins or the URZ.
Area of validity
The State Licence Agreement does not apply to employees of the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital AöR. Unfortunately, licensing is not possible for these groups of people.
Limitation
Currently it is not possible to use the Office Add-In Store or the Microsoft Webapps. Requirement for using the webapps is the activation of sharepoint for the user. Currently there is no approval by data protection authorities to activate sharepoint.
