Office 365 Pro Plus Activations
We're using the Office 365 for Education license, and I have a question about Office Pro Plus activations. The documentation states that users can activate on up to 5 computers, PC or Mac: https:...
Hi Matt,
Has below page it says !
"Each user can install Office on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets (Windows, iPad, and Android), and 5 phones."

So does "5 PCs or Macs" mean five of each or 5 total? The wording is not really clear, and I can verify that some users have more than 5 total.
An article a little old, but it could explain it to you - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_resource_kit/2014/01/17/office-365-proplus-multiple-devices-and-deactivation/
- Still says "5 PCs/Macs?" this wording seems clear that it allows for 5 total desktop activations whether that's on PC, Mac, or a combination of the two. Yet we have users with 7 total Mac and PC activations. I'm inclined to think these articles should say "5 PCs, 5 Macs, 5 tablets, and 5 phones," but I can't find any supporting documentation to back this up. Also, the install page in Office 365 no longer has any statement about total activations allowed.
It says "5 PCs or Macs" and not "5 PCs and Macs" always depend how it's reading this.
