How to resolve restoring access to your personally owned Microsoft Office license

How to resolve restoring access to your personally owned Microsoft Office license after linking your Microsoft account to your @biola.edu account

What Happened?

Microsoft changed how Office licensing is managed. All Microsoft accounts that use @biola.edu ​are managed as institutional (Biola owned) accounts. Since the original Office license is personally owned, Microsoft will no longer allow the @biola.edu account to access it.

What Can I Do?

To resolve the issue, you will need to contact Microsoft Customer Support and request that they transfer ownership of the Office license from your @biola.edu account to a personal account (one not unaffiliated with Biola). You may need to provide them with proof of ownership of your Office license. https://support.microsoft.com/en-US
