Microsoft Licensing: Installing Microsoft Visio or Project

Summary

This article provides instructions to request the appropriate license and install Microsoft Visio or Microsoft Project to your Windows computer. These programs are available to USNH Faculty and Staff upon request.

How-To

You must install the application within 6 months of being granted the license. If you have not installed the application within 6 months or have installed the application but have not used it within the last six consecutive months, your license is revoked. If you require a new license after your license has been revoked, request a new license for the software.

Instructions

Step 1 - Once you have been granted the license, open a web browser on your computer and navigate to https://portal.office.com 

Step 2 - Sign in with your username@usnh.edu, password, and MFA if required.

Step 3 - In the upper right corner of the page, look for a dropdown box "Install and more".  Click it and select "Install Microsoft 365 apps".

Step 4 - On the Apps & devices page, click Install Visio or Install Project.

Note: If you do not see Visio or Project, then you are not licensed to install that application.  Review the section on how to request a license above. 

Step 5 - Depending on your browser, select Run, Setup, or Save File. If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? select Yes.

Step 6- When you see the phrase, You're all set! [Your software] is installed now and an animation plays to show you where to find the app on your computer. Follow the instructions in the window to find the software, for example depending on your version of Windows, select Start and then scroll to find the software in from your list of apps.

Note: If you receive the following error message, you may press the button to install the 32-Bit version of the program. Alternatively, you may un-install Office 365 and reinstall it as 64-Bit if the functionality is required.

Outcome

The application you installed, Microsoft Visio and/or Project, is available for you to use on your computer.
