DEACTIVATING AN OFFICE 365 INSTALL

You have a limited amount of installs of Microsoft Office 365. Once you’ve used all of your installations, you will need to deactivate

one before you can install another.

On your account page at http://www.office.com/myaccount, under PC + Mac Installs, click Deactivate next to the name of the

computer where you want to deactivate Office.

After you deactivate Office on one computer, you can install it on another PC. Once deactivated, that version of Office will only run

in read-only mode, meaning you can view and print documents, but not edit or create new documents. For more information, see
