Installing Microsoft 365 Desktop apps


The Office 365 desktop apps can be installed and used on up to five devices at one time.

Managed devices

Managed Workstation users can install the Microsoft 365 Desktop Apps from the Software Center or Company Portal.

Non-managed devices

NOTE: When installing Office on a non-managed system, please be sure to uncheck the box "Allow my organization to manage my device" and then select No, sign into this app only. Not doing so may result in unintended consequences, such as your device obtaining University device management policies that require device encryption, which could lock you out of the device without obtaining a code from ITS.

Non-managed workstation users can install the package from the Office portal.

  1. Log in to the Microsoft 365 Portal with your Yale email address and password.
  2. Select the Install Office button.

Note: For macOS, the Teams installer is obtained separately.
