Android and iOS have individual app downloads for the Microsoft 365 Suite.
You are allowed to download and install the Microsoft 365 apps on up to five computer devices (Mac/PC). You can also download and install up to five copies of Microsoft 365 Mobile for your mobile devices.
Students have access to Microsoft 365 for two years after their last class.
Faculty and staff have access to Microsoft 365 as long as they are a UNK employee.
Microsoft 365 is activated when you are prompted to "sign in" upon opening Microsoft 365 for the first time. You will sign in with your full UNK campus email address and password. Activation requires Internet connectivity, but after that, the user only has to connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days to check the status of the subscription. If the computer goes offline for more than 30 days, Microsoft 365 enters reduced functionality mode until the next time a connection is made.
