Disabled access to Excel MS Store or offline installation
- Łukasz Modzelewski (Unlicensed)
Due to policy in some companies, individual user cannot install apps from MS Store.
You can see for example message like this
Sorry, Microsoft 365 has been configured to prevent individual acquisition of Office add-ins
We do not support not authorized installation, however with help from your administrators you can still install apps in alternative way.
Admin Center / SharePoint App Catalog
Preferred way by using Admin Center - Deploy and publish Office Add-ins - Office Add-ins
Using SharePoint App Catalog - Publish task pane and content add-ins to a SharePoint app catalog - Office Add-ins (which have few flaws like: disabled commands, no Mac support and in hybrid ecosystem Admin Center is advised to be used).
Offline installation
Unfortunately, for Office Store (unlike for example on a Windows 10 apps Marketplace) there is no way to have completely offline installation (beside development mode – sideloading, which shall not be used for production environments)
