Exam User Office 365 no sign in

[pixellip]

Hi there

I've managed to set up an exam user with office 365. I've locked it down. Everything is working fine.

I've set a mandatory profile as well just to lock it down some more.

The only problem now is that no matter what I try Office 365 is asking to sign in as this single user.

This is not going to be workable with hundreds of exams starting at the same time.

Does anyone know how I can get around the having to sign in bit with Office 365 please? I just can't see what I am going to do.

 

Even if I sign in then make the profile mandatory Office 365 still asks the user to sign in at the start. If you cancel this you can't save the document as it says it's unlicensed.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated

Thanks

For what I've found out, if you using Shared Device Licencing, this is the expected outcome.

 

Now Microsoft have a solution, called 'Device Based Licence' or 'Device Based Activation'. However, this only seems to be available to EES customers, not OVES which most schools are on.

 

So I would put your thoughts to your Microsoft reseller as I will be doing and for the time being, use Office 2016 or 2019 which uses the old activation method.

 

Or ExamWritePad if you don't need office?
