To use Office 365 free of charge, you must first register for "Microsoft Entra" in the IT Portal. You can then download the Office software from the Microsoft Online Portal and install it on up to 5 devices. Here you can also view and administrate on which devices your Office 365 licence is active.
Log in to the IT portal with your university ID and university password. Select "Licenses (software, etc.)" in the left menu bar and click "Activate" behind "You do not have a Microsoft Entra account".
Your Microsoft Entra ID is Uni-Kennung@on.wwu.de. Now set your Microsoft Entra password and confirm the submission of your data to Microsoft by clicking YES. Then confirm your information by clicking "Activate Microsoft Entra account and licenses now".
Your data will now be sent to Microsoft. Please note that it can take up to an hour for your license to be activated.
Log in to the Microsoft Online Portal with your Microsoft Entra ID (University-ID@on.wwu.de) and password.
You will now be taken to the Microsoft Copilot page. Click “Apps” in the bottom-left corner, and then click “Alle Apps” in the menu that opens.
You will now see an overview of the Microsoft 365 apps that you can use in your browser. To install the Office products on your device, click “Apps installierens” in the top-right corner and then select “Microsoft 365 Apps” from the menu that opens.
On the page that opens, please click “Büro installieren” to download the installation file. Then run the installation file and follow the installation steps.
Please uncheck the box to avoid a subsequent error message. The University of Münster does not manage private devices via Entra at any time.
Even after removing the check mark, you will be automatically logged in to all Office 365 apps.
