MS Office has been available on any Cornell computer for a long time, using different licensing

MS Office can be installed for free on any Cornell "institution-owned" computer, due to Cornell's license agreement with Microsoft. (A Cornell "institution-owned" computer is any computer purchased with any Cornell funds, or given to the University). University licensed software needs to be removed if the computer's ownership is transferred.

Summary, valid as of Dec. 2, 2016:

Here's a direct link to the page that lets you install Office on a personally owned computer:

• https://portal.office.com/OLS/MySoftware.aspx

If you get a generic Microsoft login screen, when you enter your <NetID@cornell.edu> address into the <someone@example.com> box and tab to the next field, you will be forwarded to Cornell's login screen, where you can enter your NetID password.
