If you would like to install the new Office 2008 for the Macintosh on your University-owned computer, it will be available to full-time faculty and staff for download in February from UDeploy. In the meantime, Office 2004 is available for download.
Several clients have recently received an e-mail message that requests that they verify their UDelNet ID, password, date of birth and country. This e-mail is a phishing scam, unsolicited e-mail; the best thing to do is to delete the message. You will never be asked to verify your UDelNetID or password through e-mail. As a matter of course, do not respond to any e-mail by sending your password or any other personal information such as credit card numbers. Delete!
The University recently purchased a campus-wide license for Microsoft Office that allows any full-time faculty and staff the right to download Office on University-owned computers. This license includes these versions of Office: Office 2003 and Office 2007 for Windows, and Office 2004 and Office 2008 (slated for release this January) for Macintosh.
To download Office, go to https://udeploy.udel.edu/, the University’s software distribution site, and choose either Macintosh or Windows software. When you click on the Office link, you will need to use your UDelNet ID to begin the Office download.
