Hi everybody,<\/p>\n
We have office 365 for our students, they can license five devices, \nWe have also laps, where any student can use any pc,<\/p>\n
Now theoretically, if any student sat at a pc, he can install office, use it, and remove before he leave, but this of course would consume so much bandwidth<\/p>\n
Now I remember I saw it somewhere, where you only have to login with your account in order to use it, and you would be using your license<\/p>\n
Is that doable? \nWhere I have the office already installed, and any student who wants to use it, he will only have to login?<\/p>\n

As long as the instance of O365 is tied to a valid license it should be usable no matter which student uses the computer. That being said there is probably a far better way to license the laptops without relying on O365. Is there a particular reason the student accounts need a license that allows an Office install rather than doing volume licensing for Office and using a minimal email license in O365 for students?<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2018-05-02T16:38:43.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/use-office-365-desktop-in-a-lap-with-student-license/649411/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"davidscarborough2","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/davidscarborough2"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Hi David,<\/p>\n
Thank you for your quick response, \nBy laps, I meant laboratory, not laptops, \nIt could be desktop or laptop,<\/p>\n
And my point is, we already invested in Office 365, so I’m checking if I can spare some cost, by not buying volume licensing for the laps.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2018-05-02T16:56:20.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/use-office-365-desktop-in-a-lap-with-student-license/649411/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hazemsalam","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/hazemsalam"}}]}}
