Microsoft for Students & Staff
-
HCPS provides each staff and student with an M365 A5 subscription. This allows the download and installation of M365 apps to 5 personal devices, but it is associated with the HCPS user account, not a personal account.
This is intended for work or school use only.
When the user graduates or separates, the apps go into "reduced functionality mode". Overview of licensing and activation in Microsoft 365 Apps - Microsoft 365 Apps | Microsoft Learn
