If youve never signed up, you will most likely get a prompt to do so.

If youre using O365 Home, you can enter in one of your Microsoft accounts.

But look below that and you can see Ive connected my O365 Business account as well.

You do this in the backstage view look for connected services at the bottom (see illustration above).

On this work station, I have 3 accounts and I can switch among them if I wish.

I can also choose to save to the local drive (Computer) if I wish.

I have tested this and the office apps can be open on both or multiple user accounts at the same time.

I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.

So now we have two user accountsprofiles on one Imac, so far so good.

Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: my account.

The academic box provides three licenses while the other boxes provide one or two.

Have you ever tried this with Office I have, and it does not work.

It doesnt work in your home, and it doesnt work if you live on the other side of the globe as long as there is an Internet connection.

In those threads, WZZZ states that the license is related to the computer, and not the users.

Unless I am too tired and reading wrong, which is possible since its past 2:30 am where I am.

MS does not require a license for each user account on the same computer.

The software license is tied to the machine not to any one specific user or user account.

Microsoft Office Use On Multiple Computers For Mac Is Installed

Since Office 2011 for mac is installed into the Applications folder that is on the root of the drive all you have to do is open that Applications folder in Finder and then Drag the program icons to the Dock and that will place a icon in the dock for that user.

The MS Office apps are located in a folder called Microsoft Office 2011.

Since only one user can use the computer at a time thenn the license covers that user on that computer.

Probably after tomorrow as I will not meet my Imac today anymore Kind regards, Jurjen.

This is the way the license reads, as far as users or accounts go: for use by one person at a time.

As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications.

There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.

The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).

You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e.

NOT in the top level Applications folder).

My remarks related to the use of Office on different computers.

Since only one user can use the Mac at the same time this would not be a problem as long as Office was not open in both user accounts at the same time which could occur when using Fast User Switching.

All the Office applications look for themselves throughout the Internet to be sure not two users are on the same license.
