Identified - Microsoft is discontinuing the M365 A1 Plus license, and some users are being transitioned from the M365 A1 "Plus" license to the M365 A1 license. This results in a loss of access to the desktop version of Office 365 applications, but all users should still be able to use the web-based apps at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps/ (requires UA login).
This change affects Crafts & Trades staff, Adjunct/Temporary Faculty, and Emeritus Faculty members. If you're not a member of these groups and are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Office suite, please reach out to your campus's IT helpdesk!
You can find more information about the license change here: https://www.uaf.edu/nooktech/news/microsoft-365-a1-license-changes.php
As well as status reports by the license holder, UAA, here: https://status.uaa.alaska.edu/
Due to the longstanding nature of this change and resulting disruption, we will be updating this status only as new information becomes available. We are actively communicating with UAA about the situation, and appreciate your time and understanding as we navigate this unexpected transition. Thank you!

Identified - We’ve determined that some new University students, faculty and staff cannot access Microsoft 365 applications upon initial login.
This problem may impact multiple users across the system due to a malfunction in automatic licensing.
We’re working to restore Microsoft 365 automatic licensing however during the interim please contact the Technical Support Center at (907) 786-4646.

Identified - We are aware of an ongoing issue affecting Microsoft A1 Plus licenses. As a result, some users may temporarily lose access to desktop Office applications, especially Adjunct Faculty and Crafts & Trades employees.
However, you can continue to use all Microsoft 365 online apps (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) through your web browser by opening from OneDrive or going to https://m365.cloud.microsoft/create.
Our team is actively working with Microsoft and organizational leadership to identify and implement a long-term solution. We appreciate your patience while this issue is being addressed.
An update will be posted when it is resolved.
