Maintaining & Installing O365 as an Admin
- Unfortunately E1 doesnt include the Office 365 proplus installs! Only online versions of them:

You can distribute the installation in different ways! See here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/plan-office-365-proplus
But any user (with correct license) can log in as themselves and click install on up to 5 devices!
If this limit is reached, or you activated them unpurposelly, you can deactivate the licenses on devices:

Thanks for the replies.
I was not here last year when the licenses were purchased, and had no idea E1 meant web apps only.That answers my question, but now I have a whole new set of problems. LOL *crying*
Thanks. The first page took me to where I could buy O365 in Kroners. LOL
I did get a package created and can install it from a local share. That's great, and I think it will work better in the future.
However my local install on my PC is still not licensed properly. When I go to the portal
I deactivated one install from a user's PC.
Now when I have 4 installs under my account on the admin portal.
I installed from my image, but still only see 4 installs. And when I check my license with the tool it still says I am in the timebased period.I'm going to head over to the user's PC, uninstall, and reinstall with the package. Just to see where I get from there.
- Yeah! You need to buy a license that includes the desktop apps
Bionicjoe as per what adam deltinger said, the package doesn't matter/isn't the issue here, it's that all your users only have E1 licenses. An E1 license doesn't include the desktop application license, so no matter how you install it on their machine, they won't be licensed. an E3 (or higher) or the Office 365 ProPlus license is required for them to be able to have/license the desktop applications.
