Update - There appear to be further issues with the Software Center-installed version of Foxit on MacOS devices specifically, and users may not be able to reactivate even after updating. The NTS Technology Support Services team is aware and investigating!

We will update this status as new information becomes available, and at one-hour intervals. Thank you for your time as we do so!

Nov 17, 2025 - 08:31 AKST
Update - Users may need to update their copy of Foxit in order to log in and reactivate it-- versions before 14.0 are outdated, and this can be performed by downloading the update from Software Center for users on UA computers, and from the Microsoft/Apple store for users on personal devices.

Please inform your campus's respective IT service desk if you do have any issues activating or using Foxit. You can find instructions on activation here: https://service.alaska.edu/TDClient/36/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=780#Activate%20Foxit

Thank you for your time and patience as we continue to follow this issue, we will make further updates as new information becomes available, and and at the end of the business day (5:00pm AKST).

Nov 17, 2025 - 08:01 AKST
Monitoring - Foxit has erroneously notified some users of a license change and revocation of access during UAA's annual renewal cycle with the vendor. Users may need to sign into the application again to reactivate, but the product is available and there should be no disruption to the service itself.

Please inform your campus's respective IT service desk if you do have any issues activating or using Foxit. You can find instructions on activation here: https://service.alaska.edu/TDClient/36/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=780#Activate%20Foxit

UAA's engineering team is aware and determining the scope and effect, if any, of this issue. We will make an update as new information becomes available, and at the beginning of the business day (8:00AM AKST) Monday, 11/17.

Thanks so much for your time as we follow this issue!

Nov 16, 2025 - 11:15 AKST
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!

Oct 27, 2025 - 09:15 AKDT
Update - The issue is persisting. The next update will be when it is resolved.
Oct 13, 2025 - 10:12 AKDT
Update - This issue continues as the system engineers work through the changes Microsoft has made to their licensing application. Please continue to contact the Technical Support Desk (TSC) by phone (907) 786-4646 or email uaa.techsupport@alaska.edu
Oct 10, 2025 - 12:07 AKDT
Update - We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

Aug 26, 2025 - 11:34 AKDT
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.

Aug 25, 2025 - 17:53 AKDT
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.
