Licensing
Your licence to activate, download and sign-in to the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise suite is applied to your Office 365 account by ISD. You can authenticate using the same logon name and password used to access the live @ UCL email service (e.g. ccaaxxx@ucl.ac.uk).
The licensing applies to your status whilst at UCL (note: your status is not determined by ISD). UCL Alumni do not have access to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. You can download, install and run Office distributed via Office 365 from any machine and anywhere. The license is applied to an individual not a machine.
Each user can install Office on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets (Windows, iPad, and Android) and 5 mobile phones.

The Office suite is available for iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, Windows Phone and Windows tablets.
You can obtain Office from the App Store of your device.
Please note Office is available to download at anytime from your App Store, but will only operate in read-only mode until you are licensed. See Microsoft's Office for Mobile Devices page for more information.

With the exception of applying licenses, installations of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise on personal devices are self-supported.
