  2. Click on Catalog in the menu on the left and then on Accounts.
  3. Select DeepL account and order the product.

Since the Microsoft Store is not available at the University of Vienna, the DeepL add-ins for Microsoft 365 cannot be provided. Other technical options for integrating the add-ins into Microsoft 365 are also not feasible at the University of Vienna.
