Requesting a License Upgrade
Those with a business need to upgrade to the A3 license for additional storage or the ability to have Microsoft 365 ProPlus, can contact their department’s software contact to request to purchase the A3 license for their account. The decision to upgrade and pay for the license is the responsibility of the department.
Requesting Office for an NDSU Owned Computer
If you need Office for an NDSU-owned computer which is not managed by IT, please contact your department’s software contact to request Office 2021. If you have an IT managed computer, you can find Office 2021 in Software Center.
