Office 365 Pro Plus
Hi All Is it possible to activate Office 365 Pro Plus using modern authentication? I'm rolling out a large number of tablets to be shared by pupils and I was wondering if it's possible instead of each pupil needing to activate against their o365 account. Many Thanks Gideon

- Hi Gideon, What kind of tablets are you using? If these are devices with Windows 10 installed, then activation should occur automatically when the device connects to the internet. If you want to prevent that users have to activate manually the first time they use the device then you should use an Office version that supports Key Management Services or ADDS. It is also possible to install O365 Proplus for large deployments using the Office Deployment Toolkit (ODT). You should enable shared activation then: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782860.aspx
- Thanks Mike, I think I'll just use the volume license version for now as that seems to use the Modern Authentication without issue and using KMS for activation. I think it will make life easier. BTW they are W10 tablets Regards Gideon
