Information for employees
For employees of Landshut University of Applied Sciences, Microsoft Office 2016 or 2019 is installed by default when a PC or notebook is delivered by Service IT and therefore no registration for Microsoft 365 is necessary. If you use more than one work device, you will need Microsoft 365 for each additional work device and will not be able to use Microsoft Office 2016 or 2019.
You do not need to register for Microsoft 365 to participate in Microsoft Teams, as you can take part in any Microsoft Teams invitation as a guest. However, if you want to create your own events and appointments for Microsoft Teams, you will need Microsoft 365 and should complete the registration below.
