Deploying Office Add-ins in a University
Hi - I was looking at recommending the Office Centralized Deployment tool for a way to enable the controlled enablement of Office add-ins in a university. I hear though that this tool is for busines...
Office Requirements
For Word, Excel, and PowerPoint add-ins, your users must be using one of the following:
- On a Windows device, Version 1704 or later of Microsoft 365 Business licenses (Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium), Office 365 Enterprise licenses (E1/E3/E5/F3), or Microsoft 365 Enterprise licenses (E3/E5/F3).
- On a Mac, Version 15.34 or later.
For Outlook, your users must be using one of the following:
- Version 1701 or later of Microsoft 365 Business licenses (Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium), Office 365 Enterprise licenses (E1/E3/E5/F3), or Microsoft 365 Enterprise licenses (E3/E5/F3).
- Version 1808 or later of Office Professional Plus 2019 or Office Standard 2019.
- Version 16.0.4494.1000 or later of Office Professional Plus 2016 (MSI) or Office Standard 2016 (MSI)*
- Version 15.0.4937.1000 or later of Office Professional Plus 2013 (MSI) or Office Standard 2013 (MSI)*

Only Business and Enterprise, but you check with the compatibility checker https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55270
- Thanks for the response - I had seen this was the case, so thanks for confirming. I was also wondering if anyone had a workaround for a university scenario, but it looks like the only solution is for business licenses.
