Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Download
License: Faculty/Staff, Texas State Owned Computers
Microsoft Office for Mac is a suite of applications that provides a comprehensive set of tools to collect, consolidate and share any type of information (documents, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, email and calendar).
For more information on Microsoft Office for Mac, visit the Microsoft Office for Mac web site.
Technology Resources is pleased to provide Texas State faculty/staff users the ability to download and install Microsoft Office 2008 to their workstations across the Texas State network.
Office 2008 is a major release of the Office suite for Macintosh users. It is now a universal application that runs natively on Intel-based Macintosh computers. It has a new interface appearance though the user interface is organized essentially the same way as Office 2004. Office 2008 like Office 2007 for Windows saves files in a new XML format. It is highly recommended that you read the TR Office 2008 upgrade information and Office 2008 White Paper web pages before proceeding with the download and installation of Office 2008.
This Office 2008 Office network installation package is to be installed ONLY on Texas State Owned Computers.
Prerequisites
- You will need a faculty/staff NetID and password.
- You will need to be using a wired connection to the Texas State computing network.
- You will need to be using Mac OS X 10.4.9 or higher.
- You will need more than 3GB free on your hard drive.
- You will need to have adimistrator privileges to the computer.
- Your computer must meet the System Requirements for Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
If you have questions about these prerequisites, please contact your department's technical support person (TSP) or the Texas State IT Assistance Center (ITAC) at 245-ITAC (4822) or itac@txstate.edu for assistance before proceeding.
Office 2008 Installation Instructions
The following is basic guidance on the Office 2008 installation process:
- Make certain you have met the prerequisites above.
- Your existing Office Identities folder will be backed up. If you need to re-run the Install Office 2008 application, you will be given the option to Skip the backup for subsequent runs.
- You will be prompted for your Texas State faculty/staff NetID.
- The network process will begin. After 2 to 10 minutes, the Office 2008 package installer will open.
- After the Office 2008 package installer has successfully installed the various Office 2008 applications, you will be given the option to remove any previous version of Office. Most users should choose to remove any old version. However, if you have Word or Excel documents that use macros, you may want to leave the older version of Office. If you choose to keep the old version of Office, remove the check next to it in the list.
- If you had an older version of Office on your computer, you will next be prompted to import your existing Identity folder. This Identity folder contains your email settings and local email messages. It is highly recommended that you import all existing Identities that are in the list. Normally there will be only one in the list named Main Identity.
- If there are any Office 2008 updates to be performed, you will be prompted to do them.
- Click OK to close the Install Office 2008 application window that will still be open.

That device is the ”licensed device.” A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device. * You may install and use any number of copies of the software and of any prior version of the software on the licensed device. * Except as described in the Remote Access section below, only one user may use the copies on the licensed device at a time. * You may reassign a license, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment). If you reassign a license, the device to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed device for that license.
b) Portable Device. You may install a copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
c) Network Device. You may also install additional copies on a network device. You may only use those copies as described in the Remote Access section below.
II) Additional Licensing Requirements and/or Use Rights.
a) Remote Access. You may access and use the software remotely from another device as described below. * Primary user. The single primary user of the device hosting the remote desktop session may access and use the software remotely from any other device. No other person may use the software under the same license at the same time except to provide support services. * Non-primary users. Any user may access and use the software remotely from a separately licensed device. * Remote assistance. You may allow other devices to access the software to provide you with support services. You do not need additional licenses for this access.
b) Media Elements and Templates. You may copy and use images, clip art, animations, sounds, music, shapes, video clips and templates provided with the software and identified for such use in documents and projects that you create. You may distribute those documents and projects non commercially. If you wish to use these media elements or templates for any other purpose, go to http://www.microsoft.com/permission to learn whether that use is allowed.
B. Exceptions and Additional Terms for Particular Products.
For Office System Products and Suites:
Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features described below connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect. Unless otherwise noted, you may switch off these features or not use them. For more information about these features, see http://www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010986541033.aspx. By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols, which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based services available to you.
Web Content Features. Features in the software can retrieve related content from Microsoft and provide it to you. Examples of these features are clip art, templates, online training, online assistance and Appshelp. You may choose not to use these web content features. Digital Certificates. The software uses digital certificates. These digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users sending X.509 standard encrypted information. They also can be used to digitally sign files and macros to verify the integrity and origin of the file contents. The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation lists using the Internet, when available.
Information Rights Management. The software contains a feature that allows you to create content that cannot be printed, copied or sent to others without your permission. You may need to connect to Microsoft to use this feature for the first time. Once a year, you may need to re-connect to Microsoft to update it. For more information, go to http://www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010397891033.aspx. You may choose not to use this feature.
Groove Software and Services. If the software includes Microsoft Office Groove (“Groove”), Groove will allow you to communicate directly with others over the Internet. If you are not on the Internet, your communications will be encrypted and sent through Microsoft servers for later delivery. You cannot disable this service. Groove makes some information about your Groove account and computer known to your contacts. For example, if you: ? add a contact to your contact list, ? import your user account onto a new device, ? update the information in your “identity contact”, or ? send a Groove workspace invitation using an URL to reference the invitation file, information about you and your devices may be sent to your contacts. If you configure Groove to use Microsoft servers, those servers will collect information about your computers and user accounts. See the Microsoft Office Groove 2007 Privacy Statement at http://www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101153391033.aspx for more information.

If you upgrade the software on the work device, the WAH user may upgrade the copy on the home device. The WAH user’s right to use the software terminates when the WAH user leaves your organization. At that time, the WAH user must remove the software from the home device.
