Login screens: Windows (left) and Mac (right) The Windows or Mac computer login when you start a computer.Anyone using a computer can use the installed Microsoft Office. Office 2019 works on this basis and it’s the way all past Microsoft Office worked for many years. It needs a Microsoft account login within the Office programs. This is the way Microsoft 365 / Office 365 works.
Microsoft Office is licenced in two different ways: Once you’ve installed Office on a computer it’s available to all regular users on that machine however the licencing rules matter. Windows 10 for Microsoft Office users has a chapter devoted to multi-user setup and use including making a ‘Guest’ account (which Microsoft stopped providing but we show how to restore Guest to Windows 10). Most commonly, there are separate Windows or Mac logins for the computer with each user/login having their own folders for documents etc. Office can work for multiple separate users on the one computer. It depends on which type of Office you have on a Windows or Mac computer. Microsoft Office rules might let two users or more use the same copy of Office on a computer. Thanks for joining us!
