Follow the instructions below to authorize use of Microsoft Office products on any COE computer, including the VLAB, for a period of 30 days. The steps below create a token file in your COE home directory in the Win10Files folder; please don't delete them!
- Launch an Office program (Word, Excel, etc.) from the Start Menu
- When you click the colored Sign In button, you'll be prompted for an email address; use (your myNortheastern username)@northeastern.edu
- In the Northeastern University pop-up window, you'll be prompted for credentials, leave the username as it is, and add your myNortheastern password to the password field.
- You will get a 2-Factor authentication prompt (usually a push notification to your cell phone); agree to the 2FA prompt.
- If you are successful, you'll get a pop-up window titled "Under your control"; you can close this, then start using your software.
After 30 days, you'll need to repeat these steps to update your token.
