Overview
Microsoft Office remains an industry standard for creating and editing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other content. Although Microsoft provides cross-platform versions of some of these tools, the Windows version of Microsoft Office remains the most feature-rich and powerful version available.

Licensing
Microsoft Office licensing is included for every licensed Labs user. Due to Microsoft's licensing model, Labs can only offer the "LTSC" version of Microsoft Office; this differs slightly from the "Office 365" version of Microsoft Office. Microsoft does not provide detailed documentation on the differences between these versions; however, some specific features (such as certain Excel functions) are only available in the Office 365 version.
Note that this licensing only applies to the Office software; students are permitted to connect to their Office 365 services and data such as OneDrive, SharePoint, or Teams from within Labs.
