The University has an agreement with Microsoft to provide software for equipment which is owned by the University of Toronto. Please see:
https://microsoft.utoronto.ca/
for more information (you will need your UTORid and password to access that site). Here is a paragraph from that page:
The Campus Agreement provides CORE CAL licenses, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Forefront Endpoint protection (for Windows), System Center Endpoint Protection 2012 (Windows, Linux amd Mac) and Microsoft Office Professional for Windows or Macintosh for installation on University of Toronto owned equipment only.
For personally-owned machines, the website mentioned above has a link to the Home Use Program where you can purchase an inexpensive Microsoft Office Professional license if you wish.
