UA Faculty, Staff & Department License Agreement

MS Project and MS Visio Deactivation January 6, 2020 of Previous License Key Versions

Older versions of MS Project and MS Visio acquired with a license download key from UA Bookstores will be deactivated January 6th, 2020 which means you will not be able to access the software.

The Microsoft Campus Agreement this year is operating under a new cost model. As part of that agreement we have lost rights to older versions of the MS Project and MS Visio software. Any versions of MS Project and MS Visio that are not the 2019 online versions are out of compliance.

Get ahead of this deadline: Uninstall the older version(s) and request your free 2019 Project and/or Visio online licenses now (See ‘How Do I Get It’ section).

NOTE: The removal of older versions does not apply to faculty or staff in a department who purchased a personal copy of these products.

The 2019 Microsoft software offerings of MS Project Professional Online and MS Visio Online are available to faculty and staff at no cost.

How Do I Get It?
Windows 10 is required to install MS Project and MS Visio 2019 Online versions.

• Remove older versions of MS Project and MS Visio before installation of new 2019 online license
• Go to https://uaservice.arizona.edu and log in
• Click the 'Microsoft Products Request' to request your copy
• Check the box that states, “By checking this box the signature authority agrees to remove all previous versions of MS Project/MS Visio from their device(s) before installing the current licensed product.”

You will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to download/access.

If you have questions about your MS Project or MS Visio software, contact your departmental IT support person.

PLEASE NOTE: University licensed software for faculty and staff will require NetID +. For more information on NetID + and to enroll, go to http://security.arizona.edu/netid-plus.
