Installing Microsoft 365 Desktop apps


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


Managed device users

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



Non-managed device users

When installing Office on a non-managed system please be sure to uncheck the box when prompted that asks to Allow my organization to manage my device, and then select the No, sign into this app only link. Not doing so may result in unintended consequences from your device obtaining University device management policies, such as requiring device encryption that 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 into the Microsoft 365 Portal with your Yale email address and password
  2. Select the Install Office dropdown button
  3. Select Office 365 apps
