Yay, that’ll be a fun day at work… I’m in charge of administering our fleet of Macs and all the users use MS Office heavily. We are currently not allowed to provide access to Office 365 for data protection reasons, so if they brick the volume license we are currently using I won’t have a viable solution for them, beyond switching to OWA/Apple Mail and some other office suite. The writing’s been on the wall for a while though. They recently made it so that you can’t hide the Office 365 nag screen while using a volume license, which confuses users into thinking they don’t have a license. I fucking hate Microslop.

Just swap to Libre. And if your job is working on spreadsheets just quit. Lets all go back to farming and trading goods. Or just install Linux.

Honestly just use LibreOffice. It’s pretty good.
