For Mac iOS: Determine your Microsoft 365 Subscription License

If you were using Office for Mac acquired with a lifetime license, you will continue to use your lifetime license, not the subscription license, after installation of Microsoft 365. Therefore, please use the license removal tool to remove the subscription license.

Please determine the license type you are using, and make sure that it shows “Microsoft 365 Subscription” as below.

Shared Mode

Shared mode is installed on shared PCs (limited to PCs purchased with public funds) used by multiple users, such as PCs in laboratories or testing facilities.
When using a shared PC, academic staff and students need to sign in using the ID they obtained.
After you have finished using the shared PC, you must explicitly sign out from Microsoft 365.
If you want to use the shared mode installer, please contact the Emerging Media Initiative via the inquiry form. (Inquiries regarding the shared mode installer can only be made by academic staff.)
