Office 365 Personal activation for G50-80 80E501LRIN

Hello everyone. I recently bought a G50-80 80E501LRIN laptop from an authorised Lenovo store. It had along with it a free 1-year MS Office 365 Personal subscription. So today when I wanted to redeem the same, I couldn't; initially. The 'Language' drop-down menu wasn't highlighted in the Office activation webpage. Then, I chatted with a Microsoft technician and allowed her remote access. Even after many trials, she couldn't get it done too. Note: All the while we were trying to do this in Mozilla Firefox (latest version). She then headed over to Edge and Voila! the 'Language' menu was highlighted and she could select the desired language. Now I don't want to malign Mozilla or Microsoft, but the guys at MS seem to have done some customization or something in Edge for Office specifically, I think. Anways, I just wanted to share this incident offering possible relevant help if needed.

Stream 8 Tablet's free one year Office 365 Personal and One Drive extra spaces

1. How to enable the free one year Office 365 Personal subscription? I can only active the trial one month Office 365 Personal subscription.
2. How to active the additional storage space for One Drive with the purchase of the Stream 8 Tablet?

I called HP local support here in Hong Kong January 2, 2015 around 11:00am, after checked with my settings the HP support person promised to email me the solution/fix.
I have yet receive any such respond from HP support.
I have online chat with Microsoft Office online support, they inform me that the activation key should included in the box of the Stream 8 Tablet.
Mind you that it is against Hong Kong law "The Trade Descriptions Ordinance, Chapter 362" for 'Misleading Advertising'.

Do I need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for faculty to get free Office 365 ProPlus for students in Office 365?

Hi there
Our school has A2 plan for both students and faculty. We recently contacted our reseller and placed an order for free Office 365 ProPlus A for our students. We received an acknowledgement from Microsoft regarding this order saying that it was successfull
and I can see the license added when I log into the VLSC website. Problem is, I can't see this licence listed when I log into Office 365 admin. It is not listed under subscriptions or licenses. Apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how can I get this
license added in Office 365 so that our students can start using editable versions of office apps on their IPADs. Do we need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for our staff to get this student's license enabled in Office 365? Can somebody please help?

I have similar questions concerning getting started with the Student Advantage program offering.
I've read the blog posts and made as many as 5 calls to Office 365 and still do not understand how to get this going.
We have a subscription to Education A2 for both faculty and students that we started in January 2014. We receive this at no charge. So I'm starting with a subscription at no cost. I do not have an Education Reseller because we started our
subscription through the website with a trial and had that converted to the no cost A2 plan.
When I am in the portal and look under 'Purchase Services' I can see the option to add Office ProPlus for Faculty at $2.00/user/month and for Office ProPlus for Students at $1.50/user/month. My understanding of Student Advantage is that if I license
all my faculty/staff accounts for Office ProPlus I would then get the Student access at no charge. So I've licensed the Office ProPlus for Faculty for all of our faculty accounts yet I cannot get a clear answer about how to get the Student accounts added
at no cost.
I most recently was told by Office 365 support that I needed to speak to a reseller, which I did today. He told me that I would need to do one of two things.
1. Upgrade my no cost A2 faculty accounts to A3. Which for me and what I see in the portal would take them from $0 to $4.50/user/month. With that A3 for faculty I would get the Office ProPlus for the Students accounts on A2 at no charge.
2. I would need an Open Value license covering all school FTEs for Office at a cost of about $29/user/year.
Both of these options are higher than licensing all Faculty accounts for Office ProPlus via the portal at $2/user/month which I have already done.
So I don't understand why that doesn't qualify us for Student Advantage and now have to license all FTE, most of whom don't even touch a computer, for Office.

Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted.

Hello Folks,
We have recently deployed Office 365 (We had Kerio email system previously, But we did not do a migration).
The problem is
Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted
Tried the following workarounds,
1) Logon network security under More
Settings on the Microsoft Exchange Security tab
is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication
2) Tried removing the Generic Credentials from Credential manager.
The is issue is only for some users (Majority).
(OS Platform: Windows 7/Windows 8).
Thanks in Advance

The first thing I would recommend to do is to make sure that your install missing Outlook updates and try again.
I would also recommend asking them in this forum: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=outlook

Brand/ Remove Office 365 Login Page for SharePoint Online

Hi there,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you very much for setting up this great forum. I have learned a lot of good tips from here.
We have a challenge which we would like to find a solution to.
We are using Project Online with SharePoint Online with Office 365.
We are trying to find a solution to brand/ (if branding is not possible) get rid of the Office 365 log in page.
What we are trying to achieve is:
1. Users click on a link, say:
https://abc.sharepoint.com/project1/
2. Instead of seeing Office 365 login page, we would like them to be able to see the login page with our own brand or a login box to enter username and password.
Thank you very much in advance for the time you set aside to share your knowledge with us.
Sincerely, we really appreciate your kind help.

Hi Charlotte,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the Office 365 login page for SharePoint Online.
We can implement ADFS for the Office 365 subscription, then customize the ADFS forms based on login page.
Per my knowledge, If no ADFS you will need to use the Microsoft login page.
Here are two similar threads for you to take a look at:

Can't activate 1 year of Office 365 Personal on Stream 8 tablet

I click on the "Microsoft Office" tile, then click "Activate", then it opens up the web browser and I log in with my Microsoft account. But then it just says "Office is not associatted with this account. Sign in with a different account with Office already activated or activate office." I click "activate office". It prompts me to log in again, then it takes me to the "Office is not associatte with this account" screen. It's driving me crazy!

Hey @Chaosprower ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to activate your Microsoft Office 365 subscription.
The activation is done via Microsoft and I personally do not have access to the tools necessary for this type of problem.
I would suggest contacting our phone support team who may be able to offer some insight or direct you to the correct department with Microsoft.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
Thanks, and good luck.

Office 365 ProPlus Activation Transfer

If so shouldn't her account info allow her to activate even if install is disabled?I know this is not part of the question but why disallow the install on other machines? When a user leaves the company you take the license away and they have to get their own copy. I just do not see why you might want to do that.
The policy to not allow installs is for security and business reasons. If you allow installs a user can install on a personal PC with no IT controls around A/V, updates etc... They could then have access to email through the Outlook client and also OneDrive for Business. We also have restrictions on hourly employees doing work from home. A policy that is not likely to change.

Office 365 ProPlus Activation Issues

Issue Resolved:
After adding all of the Office 365 URL's and Address Ranges to our internet filters exception list activation worked.
Hi Everyone
I'm preparing for a deployment of Office 365 ProPlus using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) and having trouble getting Office to activate after installation. Using my custom .xml file, I'm able to install only Office products that are needed without
issue using a Group Policy start-up script. It is necessary for me to do this because none of the users in my environment have local administrator rights and cannot install Office on their own using Click-to-Run. Installing with a start-up script
uses the System account to circumvent that issue. Upon first launch of Office 365 ProPlus I'm prompted to enter my email address and password for activation and promptly receive the error "There is a problem with your account. Please try again
later."
I've verified that an Office 365 ProPlus license has been provisioned for my account through our portal and have ADFS running without issue. Here's where things start to get strange... In testing, I added myself as a local administrator to my desktop
and downloading/installed the Click-to-Run from our Office portal. Upon launching Office for the first time it was activated automatically and the portal showed that a license was used.
As of right now I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I can't activate Office using valid credentials with proper licenses provisioned when installing with the ODT but it auto activated when using Click-to-Run. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
See below for a copy of my configuration.xml
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="PATH TO OFFICE INSTALL FILES" OfficeClientEdition="32">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />

</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
**note: Add SourcePath="PATH TO OFFICE INSTALL FILES" points to the Office\Data folders which were created when using the ODT in /download mode.
Edit:
After troubleshooting the issue more yesterday I found that whenever I try to activate Office 365 ProPlus an error is generated in the application log.
The description for Event ID 0 from source MSOIDSVC.EXE cannot be found. Either the component that raises
this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
InitializeSvcAPI failed with hr = 0x8004825b
I've thus far been unsuccessful in figuring out what MSOIDSVC.EXE is or what it does.
Edit:

MSOIDSVC.EXE is part of the Microsoft Services Sign-In Assistant (MSO SIA). After installing MSO SIA and verifying that the services were running activation still failed.

Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

hi
we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
Requirements
+ all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
+handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
+ the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
Current Solution
at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
- allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
- all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
- you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
the problem however is that the users also need to access this...

Hi Aleksei,
I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

"Office 365 Mailbox" missing for users that are member of Ricipent Management role

Hi,
I have a hybrid setup with Office 365 and one exchange 2013 standard server on-premises.
I currently have an issue with that I have a button after pressing the + under recipient to create a Office 365 mailbox from the ECP, but users that are members of the Recipient Management role don't have that button visible.
What extra permissions are required to be able to create an Office 365 mailbox from the on-premises Exchange?

Hi SeidKrv,
Thanks for your update.
Following article introuduces the permissions that need to assigned before running "New-Mailbox" command.
Please focus on "Recipient Provisioning Permissions" session.
Recipients Permissions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638132(v=exchg.150).aspx
Based on the article, it seems both Recipient Management role and Organization Management role are required.
More detailed information on both management role as below:
1. Administrators who are members of the Recipient Management role group have administrative access to
create or modify Exchange 2013 recipients within the Exchange 2013 organization.
2. Administrators that are members of the Organization Management role group have administrative access to the entire Exchange 2013 organization and
can perform almost any task against any Exchange 2013 object, with some exceptions. By default, members of this role group can't perform mailbox searches and management of unscoped top-level management
roles.
