Groups created in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Stream, etc. ((team) * hereinafter referred to as groups) are automatically created in each Microsoft 365 app as Microsoft 365 groups.
For example, a group created in Teams is automatically created on SharePoint and Stream. (* It takes time to create)

Notes.

• It will take some time for Microsoft 365 to automatically create them in each app.
  For example, if you create a new group in Teams, that group has not created in Stream etc. immediately after it is created.
  *It will take 2 to 3 hours at the earliest. Or more.
• A group or site created from Stream or SharePoint can also work as a Teams group by taking the following actions.
  (1)Access with https://o365tsukuba.sharepoint.com/sites/group ID/
  *The group ID is the part of the group email address before @ that can be confirmed from the group edit screen.
  (2)Go to the SharePoint site for that group and select Add Microsoft Teams.
  (3)Then the group will be displayed on Teams as well.
• It may be possible to create a group name with the same name from Teams and Steam respectively. (By changing the group email address, the part before @)
• If you delete a group from Teams, SharePoint, or Stream, the group will also be deleted from all apps on Microsoft 365.

As on-line license verification is performed on a regular basis, utilization must be, in principle, on-line. (Verification is performed upon signing into your Office 365 account). However, as there is a 30-day indulgency period for the regular verification, it is possible to use it off-line during 30 days after the last license verification. After this verification period, Office function restrictions are applied.

Please contact us as we may allow changes to the MAK method, which does not require regular activation.

NOTES:
For “Remote Desktop Access to Windows Server (RDS CAL)”, see eesq22.
Other licenses not listed here (such as the Exeternal Connector License) are not included in the EES contract.
CALs that are not included in the EES contract should be purchased by your organization, and you may be able to purchase CALs at a slightly lower price by informing the vendor that the University has an EES contract.

Please see “If authentication fails“.
If you are off-campus, please use the VPN service to create an on-campus network environment.

Regarding virtualization at the client OS, up to four virtual OSEs are allowed per license per terms of the Software Assurance (SA) privilege.

Yes. Please check this table.
Reference: Windows 10 upgrade paths (link to Microsoft site)

No, you cannot.

You need to separately obtain an OS to upgrade from. The upgrade version can be used if you have a package license that allows installation of a new OS.

You cannot install unless you have a license that you can upgrade from.

A “new install” installs a new Windows OS.
In contrast, an “upgrade install” inherits the settings of the original Windows OS.

This means that the OS can be upgraded (changed to a higher version) only if it is already running a Windows OS.
If your PC already has a Windows OS when you buy it, you are eligible.
In the case of a Mac, the upgrade can be applied as an OS that runs on virtual environment software or boot camp that can run on a Mac.
Downgrading the OS is also possible, but not recommended.

See “Choose between the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Office” (link to Microsoft site).

See the JUSTSYSTEMS website. (in Japanese)

Office for Mac also requires the installation of “Serializer”. You can skip it if you have the serializer installed.

Please check “Check the status of License Authentication” for more details.

There is no problem to continue using the Office already installed. In order to install Office provided by the University of Tsukuba, you need to uninstall the existing Office. These tasks must be done at your own risk, and the University of Tsukuba does not support it.
If you use Office provided by Tsukuba University, you can always use the latest version. In this sense, decide for yourself whether to use the Office already possessed or the Office provided by the University of Tsukuba.
If the Office you already have is no longer supported, please use the Office provided by the University of Tsukuba.
