Microsoft Client Applications
License Period: October 1 through September 30
Microsoft provides a suite of cloud-based applications that complements educational and business environments. Many of the products are free of charge and similar to other no-cost product offerings. These products do not replace existing offerings but provide additional flexible, tools that are available online. Microsoft client application licenses are assigned to individual users based on their single sign-on ID and, as such, are non-transferable.
M365 Office products are available in the Microsoft portal at https://portal.office.com.
