Install the Microsoft 365 Apps on a Personal Mac Computer

TU faculty, staff and students may install the Microsoft 365 (M365) desktop apps on up to five personal devices. To install M365 apps on a university-owned Mac computer, use the Self Help (JAMF) app. This article describes how to download and install M365 apps on a personal Mac computer.

Download apps from m365.towson.edu

1. Open m365.towson.edu in your preferred web browser. 
2. Sign in using your NetID username and password. Faculty and staff are required to authenticate with Duo as well. Your Microsoft 365 portal will display. 
3. Select Install Apps from the upper right corner of the page. Then, select Microsoft 365 Apps.
4. Run the installer. Select Run when prompted to run the file on your machine.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Microsoft 365 onto your Mac.

Manage your devices

After you have installed the M365 apps on one or more computers, you may need to manage your installations. For example, you may need to deactivate a computer that is no longer in your possession or in use​​​​​​.

1. From the upper right corner, select your account avatar (photo or initials) and then select View account from the list of options.
2. The My Account page will appear; select Manage Devices.
3. The Devices page will appear. Select the drop-down arrow next to a computer’s name to see its ID number and disable the device.
4. To deactivate a machine, select Disable Device. You will receive a prompt asking: "Disable (device name)?”
5. Select Disable Device.
6. Finally, you will receive a message informing you that the removal was successful.
