1. Download Parallels

Download Parallels

My laptop is a Mac with its own version of Office installed. I have to run a few programs in a Windows environment, so I have Parallels Desktop also installed with Windows 10. Several of these programs that need to be run in Windows have features that require Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but they are not able to open the Mac versions of Office from within Parallels. Because Parallels runs fairly slowly, I would prefer to continue using Office within the Mac OS, but would very much like the ability to run these added features of my Windows-only programs. Would I be able to install and run both installs from one Office license (it's the same computer!)? Or any way to trick Parallels/Windows 10 into thinking the Office for Mac installs are native and have it open them over in Mac land (this isn't unprecedented, as other programs open in the Mac environment with double-clicks in Parallels/Windows)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Mac are all the default file types for their respective files in Parallels/Windows, and the problem seems to be when the Windows-only programs call to open Office that they're having trouble communicating through Parallels. Edit 2: Does my business account really include 5 Mac/PC installs per user? We're the tier of Office 365 for Business without email hosting. This can't be right.

Why would that be a feature Microsoft just gives away to businesses for each user? If this is right, I can have these two separate installs on my work laptop (one in Mac OS, the other in Windows) then install Office on the beater field laptop I sometimes use and still have two installs left? Am I able to use these installs on a personal computer (or two) per the license agreement? Hi Justin, It’s not possible to run Office for Mac with Windows operating system. The workaround is to install Windows edition Office suite in Parallels Desktop with Window 10. Access with your work/school account, download and install Office suite.

It will also be countered as one of the 5 installers. With the Office suite license in Office 365 for Business plan, each user can install Office on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets (Windows, iPad, and Android), and 5 phones. You are correct. You can have these two separate installations on Mac OS and Windows. If you have another laptop, you can also install Office suite on it. To manager them, see. Best regards, Tim.
