Microsoft for Pupils

Pupils in Dundee schools are now eligible to download Microsoft Office ProPlus (instructions attached) for use on their home or personal computer equipment. This is a great benefit for pupils. Access to the software is free for them. Since, however, the computer equipment will most likely belong to parents or carers, schools are advised to inform them, about this opportunity, and pass on the instructions for downloading and installing to them, and not just to pupils.

The software is provided as-is and no support for the installation or use of the software is provided by Dundee City Council. Any incident compromising a computer during installation will not be the responsibility of Dundee City Council.

This version of Microsoft Office is compatible with the version deployed in all Dundee Schools.
