FAQs

What is Office ProPlus ?

That's the latest version of Office 365 (O365).

How do I know what version of Office I have ?

To see which version of Office you have, do this in Outlook:
Windows - Click File, then Office Account (or Help if you don’t see Office Account). Under Product Information, you will see the version.
Mac - Click Outlook, About Outlook.

Will my email be accessible if I don't upgrade to Office 365 ?

You can always use the webmail site to access your email even if you don’t have Office at all. You can access your email using Office 2016 but you will be missing several new features, the biggest one being integration with MS Teams. That is Microsoft’s new collaboration software that I expect we will use a lot. Office 2013 or older will not work.,

Is there a limit to the Office 365 installs ?

Each user can install Office 365 on up to 5 machines. If you have a lab with a lot of shared-usage computers, please email support@eng.ua.edu and we will handle the installation on those machines.

How can I install Office 365 on my iPhone or iPad ?

The recommended way is to install Outlook or your device. You are go to [1] and scroll down to the Resources + Instructions sections for a how to video.

If you want to use your built-in mail, here are instructions:
