Installing Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus on Windows

Question:
How can I download and install Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus on Microsoft Windows?
Answer:

Please read before installing: It is required that you check to see if there are any other versions of Office installed on your system. If so, please uninstall and then restart your computer before downloading from the Student and Faculty Portal. If a working version of Office is already installed on your computer, it is not necessary to install the latest version provided by the University. Therefore, if you decide to remove a purchased version, please make sure you have an installable copy along with the product key for activation before removing what is already installed on your device. This is because once you have been out of attendance for greater than one (1) year, you are no longer eligible to receive access to the software provided by the University. At that time, you may start a subscription with Microsoft, reinstall your older version, or purchase a new version of Office. If you choose to re-enroll with the University, then you would again be eligible for the University provided software as an active student.

Note: Before installing Office, you may want to check your computer disk space. Generally, it may take up to 3 gigabytes (GB) of space to install. If your computer only has a 30 GB drive, you may not be able to install Office or may need to remove software or other files to allow room to install Office.

  1. Log in to eCampus at http://ecampus.phoenix.edu

     Note: The installation will require at least three (3) Gigabytes (GB) of available space on the computer's hard drive. If you have issues viewing the file is downloading, please see the Browsers section below.

     Note: This will automatically change to an Installing Office window and no action is required.
