installation conflicts between ms office and office 365

It works fine, and it sounds like it would solve the issue of students and faculty having to login to the individual Office apps. However, I am still using Office 2019 with the volume serializer in our Mac labs.

We have moved to Office365 in our Windows labs successfully. Our computers are AD joined, and we are working towards Azure AD. While I am certain that others can offer better solutions, I can only offer you what my setup has been in our labs. I have been using JAMF for a few years now at our college. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

Would it make more sense to get licenses for MS Office 2019, build a package and use the serializer to distribute licenses instead? Is there something that we should explore to get MS Office apps via Mac App Store and Apple School Manager licensing more streamlined on our Macs, such as AD implementation, etc? So far as I can tell, we cannot do device based licensing for MS Office, and are further limited by not having AD / Azure AD setup. This is often cumbersome for students and faculty, especially since these are shared computers. MS Office (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) are deployed to the Macs via Apple School Manager, however, these apps require students to login with their O365 credentials to detect licensing. All students have O365 accounts and access email and OneDrive data via web browser. I work at a college that supports about 150 Macs, not joined to AD / all using a generic student account. I am new to Jamf Nation (and providing assistance to this school) but thought I would reach out to this great resource to see what more experienced Jamf support folks think of my school's MS issue and offer solutions.
