- Installation of Office for Mac
- Installation was fairly straight-forward. The only complications were 1) the link to download office is buried in the settings menu, which is not obvious, and 2) to activate after installation, you must use utln@tufts.edu as your username, which AFAIK is not used anywhere else.
- FYI, when you install a new version of OSX, that counts as a second install on your licenses page. I upgraded to Mavericks and it listed it as two separate installs. I deactivated the older 10.8 install with no problems.
- How I did it:
- Settings Icon -> Office 365 Settings -> Software
- It detects I'm on OSX. Just click Install.
- Save DMG to disk. Mount and install is just like regular apps.
- Asks for a license key, an account which is already activated, or a trial period. Pick the 2nd option and enter your utln@tufts.edu and your ldap password.
- Everything works thereafter just like normal
