we mentioned this during today’s 12541-Clinic. first found this more than 1.5 yrs ago. and yes, microsoft is still giving MOE teachers free access to licensed Office 365. just enter your ICON email address, and follow the instructions received in your inbox to obtain your license today. up to 5 copies of Office 365 can be activated per license, and it works for both Windows and Mac OSes.
enjoy (:
hi there!
i just tried today with my icon email, it seems like they have stopped allowing sign ups.
Hi there!
Was doing some googling about the free Office 365 for educators and chanced upon your blog. I’m a MOE teacher and I tried to get access to this but I got an error message instead:
“We can’t finish signing you up.
Your IT department has turned off signup for Office 365 Education. Contact them to complete signup.”
Just wondering, do you have any idea what went wrong here?
Thanks & Regards,
Sean
thanks shi jia and sean for dropping by. yes, it has happened before! i guess ITB side may have done something to the server-side settings that has disallowed new sign ups. not sure if a call to SSOE helpdesk would work. alternatively, check back in 3 months’ time, something which i did the last time round when there was a problem (:
It is still not working. Any solutions?
hi, yes so sorry to hear that. i suspect ITB might have disabled new sign ups but am unable to confirm 🙁
