I want to get free Office 365 Education licenses. How can I do it?

Once you've set up your tenant and verified domain ownership, Office 365 will automatically generate and send a request to the Office 365 support team to review your domain against Microsoft's educational requirements.

The Office 365 support team will review your request within 3-5 days and decide whether your organization is eligible for Office 365 Education plans.

After the verification period expires, you will receive a notification about the decision taken by email.

1. IN Office 365 admin center go to the “Billing” menu item and the Subscriptions submenu. Select “Add subscriptions”

1. Select tariff plan Office 365 Education (Teacher) and click Add to add the required number of Office 365 Education (Teacher) plan licenses.
   After that, select the Office 365 education plan (student) and click “Add” to add the required number of plan licenses for students (in our case, “student” should be understood as for any students in general)

Once added, licenses can be assigned to users.

I want to receive the free Office 365 Education Plus licenses included in the agreement. How can I do it?

To obtain licenses, you must have a configured tenant with a verified domain.

To speed up the process of obtaining Office 365 Pro Plus Education licenses, email your list of added domains to: [email protected] or a partner with whom an agreement has been concluded under the First Aid program (“Agreements”) for the right to use software Microsoft in institutions of primary and secondary education in the Russian Federation

The letter must indicate the agreement and enrollment number, the full name of the customer’s organization, registration name and domain.

After confirmation and inclusion in the list (about a week), you will need to complete the following actions(2 options):

Option 1.

Register/create two users without licenses: Teacher and Student/Apprentice

Fill in Student/Teacher details

We choose for a Student - Student, for a Teacher - Teacher
Next - further, further, further.....

Everything is ready, exit.

We go back to Tenant - PLUS licenses should appear in subscriptions.

Option 2.

Once your listing is confirmed (approximately a week), you will need to do the following (if necessary, use the help of a technical specialist):

1. On a machine with the Azure AD powershell module installed, run the following scripts (in the authorization window, enter the username and password for the tenant):
   Import-Module MSOnline

Connect-MsolService

Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $true

Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $true

1. Next, go to the website https://products.office.com/ru-ru/student/office-in-education?tab=teachers

and enter the login of a user who is located in your tenant, created in a verified domain and does not have assigned licenses.
Select “I’m a student”
Next, log in using the login and password of the entered account and wait for the setup to complete.

After this, log out of the account you are using and repeat these steps for another account, only select “I’m a teacher”

Licenses for students and teachers should be in your tenant.

1. Lastly, run the scripts below to rule out the possibility automatic adding user licenses:
   Import-Module MSOnline
   Connect-MsolService
   Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $false
   Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $false

After these steps, the licenses will appear in the tenant and will be available for assignment. If you encounter any problems related to this process, you can contact [email protected].

Please note that these licenses include Cloud services, and applications to install on your devices. When you assign Office 365 Education Plus licenses, you must either replace the entire Office 365 Education license or remove duplicate products from one of the licenses.

The licenses are already present in my tenant and the users are synchronized. How can I assign licenses to users?

After confirming the domain as belonging to the educational institution, synchronizing, and obtaining licenses, we can assign them to users.
To do this, go to “users”, “ Active users» and select a specific user or several.

In the menu, click on the “Edit”, “add…” button

Repeat this operation for other users.

If in your organization a large number of users, you can use the PowerShell console to assign licenses in bulk: https://community.office365.com/ru-ru/w/sso/3293
After assigning licenses, users can use their Office 365 account. To log in to the office portal (www.portal.office.com), they can use their organization login and password.
