Office 365 A1 Plus for faculty licenses
Hi, would anyone be able to confirm that our Office 365 A1 Plus for faculty licenses mean we can install Office 365 on our institute devices please? At the moment we've been deploying Office 2019 Pr...
- Sure. I think so because the qualification criteria is outlined here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/education/deploy/office-365-education-self-sign-up
After the school qualifies, all active full-time or part-time students, faculty, and staff are eligible and can get the plan directly from Microsoft at Office 365 Education if they meet all three of the following requirements:
1. They have a school-specific email address provided by the school (for example, sara@contoso.edu) that can receive external email.
2. They are of legal age to sign up for an online offer individually (13 years old).
3. They have Internet access.
There is no specification of the type of device. This is consistent with the business plans which allows this mix.
Best, Chris
I have a question, I am in a school where there are more than 1000 children, where we need an educational office 365. We made the first registration and they gave us the free A1, but until September, after that trial period ... should I pay? Is there a way to have it for free for life? I must also validate my institution, how do I do it? ? and what is necessary?
A thousand apologies for the doubts, but I did not find much information related to the process.
Hi agustinbracamonte
Ok, think I can answer this
A1 is Free. A3 and A5 cost. A1 Plus, where Office Pro Plus is included is free for specific qualifying schools - but you have qualify and validate to get it free.

Schools qualify for Office 365 A1 Plus when they license Office institution-wide for faculty and staff through Enrollment for Education Solutions, Open Value Subscription Education Solutions, Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), or a school contract. After the school qualifies, all active full-time or part-time students, faculty, and staff are eligible and can get the plan directly from Microsoft at Office 365 Education if they meet all three of the following requirements:
1. They have a school-specific email address provided by the school (for example, sara@contoso.edu) that can receive external email.
2. They are of legal age to sign up for an online offer individually (13 years old).
3. They have Internet access.

I don't know the exact process for validation. I assume that is between Microsoft and you. I would personally reach out to your MS rep, or your provider.
