This will make it easy for every student to access the latest and best version of Office 365 on up to five devices, providing consistency when learning at home and reinforcing 21st century skills through the use of technology.

Office 365 ProPlus entitles students to download local copies of the full version of Microsoft Office 365, including familiar Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, Lync and Publisher on up to five personal devices.
