Office Online & Office Download

You are already using Office desktop applications? Or

you might wonder what Office means to you. We think

you should go ahead and give Office a try, especially if

you are a person that works with other people on Office

documents, presentations and spreadsheets. With Office,

you can dynamically collaborate in real-time.

Office online gives us the ability view/edit & create

office deferments from any device without the need of

installing the office application. All you need is to login

with your UAEU ID to

cloudmail.uaeu.ac.ae

With your UAEU ID you can now

download up to 15 copies of

office on different devices for

FREE, limiting to 5 copies per

device type. E.g. Phone/Tablet/

PC. You will see the number

incrementing at each downloads

& similarly can deactivate a copy

from a device so you can install &

activate it on another.
