clareq Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 It's not accurate here - we only use student advantage, not Office 365. If I could find out how many have logged on, even if they haven't downloaded Office, it would be a start!
clareq Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Sorry timbo, we host our own exchange server, so no on-line mailboxes.

timbo343 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Sorry timbo, we host our own exchange server, so no on-line mailboxes. I thought students had to have an email address or at least a onmicrosoft.com username via office365 to get office365 pro for their desktops, thats how office365 is licensed and validated but i guess this still doesn't give you want you want. Just been looking through our office365 and cannot see anything about who has actually downloaded a copy of office.
chazzy2501 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 HA! I don't read emails properly and have only just discovered that MS gave me the key for my O365 accounts in December! Redeeming the key took a while to figure out though Now for DirSync.
sonofsanta Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Ten minutes reading this thread over a cuppa. Three minutes on the phne to my OVS-ES reseller. Five minutes work next week sometime to tie the licences in before our 365 launch over half-term. 1200 students with a full copy of Office and no more dealing with Pages files or bizarre ODF formatting or "I can't do it at home because" Result cheers everyone for asking all the questions before me so the answers were sitting here waiting for me! And cheers @jamesbmarshall for the blog posts
nadeem Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Does anyone know how long between confirmation of order from MS to going live in our Office365 it takes for StudentAdvantage? [been 11 days so far]
Boredguy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It took 24 hour when I had to slap my supplier as they had not set the initial number of licenses correctly and they had to raise a second order to increase it.
nadeem Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My supplier strangely ordered several thousand more licences than I had asked for!!! I still don't have access yet though.
Cache Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I was told up to 14 days, but then I had a pretty big arguement with my supplier over the course of a month in order to get the right number of licences on the right agreement.
ellsandell Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Took about 3 days, after having to chase the resseller, so about 10 days. We got the right amount of licenses (per month) right away so all was cushty.
FN-GM Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Took a few days for us to get them. Office 2013 isn't supported on Visa. What if someone tried to get Office from a Vista machine? Will it install 2010? Thanks
sonofsanta Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Took a few days for us to get them. Office 2013 isn't supported on Visa. What if someone tried to get Office from a Vista machine? Will it install 2010? Thanks Yes - it offers the choice on the software page, Not ready to install the latest version of Office? (click to embiggen) 1
aceonbass Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Bumping the thread slightly - does any know the correct SKU codes that our reseller should be using for the student advantage. We've had a quote through and they are charging us £0.01 per license, then saying they refund the subtotal but we have to pay the VAT?! This seems wrong according to most replies this thread, so can anyone help me straighten this up? Quote: S2Y-00002 ,EDU O365 PROPLUS F STUD OLV ,MONTHLY SUB ALNG 1MTH ACDMC
AngryTechnician Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 That is the SKU we bought, and it didn't cost us a penny. Your reseller is wrong.
aceonbass Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks, it did seem odd - I'll get back on the reseller.
jamesbmarshall Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 That is the SKU we bought, and it didn't cost us a penny. Your reseller is wrong. Actually, that's not strictly true. Microsoft doesn't sell directly, traditionally, it sells through re-sellers. Just like any other sales process, re-sellers can add a margin to the price. Where this breaks is in the cloud model, and more specifically when we publish $0 SKUs where it would be crazy to try and charge anything more. Some re-sellers systems are not capable of processing a $0 order and one way around this is to charge a nominal sum. It is unusual, but not unheard of.
AngryTechnician Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 That sounds about right. In which case, find a reseller that has a decent ordering system.
aceonbass Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Just to clarify, our reseller confirmed the full amount is refunded internally so effectively we aren't charged anything, so it's still zero cost to us in the end. 1
