Acquiring Microsoft 365

This user guide helps employees of the University of Vienna to obtain Microsoft 365 including Teams via the self-service portal.

 Note

  • Before installing the Microsoft 365 Office desktop apps, you must return an older version of Microsoft Office (2016/19) that has already been installed via the self-service portal, otherwise the quarterly rental fee will continue to apply. If required, use the user guide Changing or returning Microsoft 365 subscription plan.

    • Centrally managed PCs: After the return, the software will be uninstalled automatically.
    • Locally managed PCs: After the return, you must uninstall the software manually.

  • If you are using Microsoft Project (2016/19), you will need to switch to a Microsoft 365 compatible version:
