Office 365 License Migration (Windows)

If you already have Office 356 products installed on your PC, you can switch licenses by linking the programs to your new Microsoft-Azure-Account (WWU-Kennung@on.wwu.de) and the associated license.

  • Remove the previous Office account

    Open one of the Office products (e.g. Excel) and select the "Account" menu item.

    In the upper left pane you will see the current account and on the right side the associated license that runs the Office product. To deactivate this, click on "Logout".

    If necessary, make sure that all data stored on OneDrive has been backed up locally in advance and confirm the logout of the current account.

    Log in with the login data of your Microsoft Azure account. The linked licence has now been changed.

    Note: In order to subsequently change the licence for other Office 365 products, it is normally sufficient to change the profile in the upper right corner of the respective programme.
