Uninstall the Miami University–licensed version from a macOS computer / Microsoft 365

Problem

• How do I remove Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) from a personal macOS computer?
• My Microsoft 365 software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) is unlicensed
• I have purchased a personal copy of Microsoft Office

Cause

• If you have purchased a personal copy or subscription to Microsoft 365, you must uninstall the Miami University–licensed Microsoft 365 from your computer, then download and reinstall Office from your personal purchase
• This is necessary because your Miami license for Office contains products that are not included in Microsoft’s personal-use plans

Resolution

1. Open Finder
2. Open Applications
3. Drag each of the following Microsoft Office applications to the trash:
   • Microsoft Excel
   • Microsoft Word
   • Microsoft PowerPoint
   • Microsoft Outlook
