Please Note the Following:

Office 365 and Office Professional Plus 2019 is free for use as long as Essex County Public Schools provides licensing to staff and students.  If ECPS decides to no longer provide licensing the product will continue to stay installed.  The software will then alert the user that the license is no longer valid.  The software will provide a link to the Office website where the user would be able to purchase a license directly from Microsoft.  The software will not run without a valid license.  An example of this would be if a student graduated and moved on to college.  The software would continue to be installed on the student's laptop.  An option would be given to purchase a license to continue use.  This way the student could continue use of the Office product at college by purchasing their own license for the software.

Essex County Public Schools will not be held liable for any damage to software or hardware as a result of using Office 365 or Office Professional Plus 2019.  These two products are offered free for use at your own risk.
