What subscription do you have for Office 365? Is it a Family/Personal or Business subscription?

Thanks,

Hi Evan,

it is a Business subscription. We use the Office E3 Plan with some additional subscriptions.

 

The Mac ist managed by the MDM-solution Intune.

      Hi Evan_Bolin ,

       

      I know the instructions but by reading them again I got a little hint.

      So far I have downloaded the apps from the AppStore, but the PLIST only works for apps that were installed via a pkg.
      Is there also a solution for the apps from the AppStore? So to get the AppStore Office Suite into the Insider Channel?
      For the pkg version I have done it now 🙂

       

      Thanks,

      Patrick

        Apologies, if you downloaded the apps from the Mac App store, you will not be able to join the Office Insider program. To join the Office Insider program, you have to download the apps directly from Microsoft. More details here.
