[OPLINTECH] O365 for public

[Tyson Horton]

While we're on the subject, I just ordered 13 licenses for Office LTSC
Standard from TechSoup, and I'm having nothing but trouble installing it.
I've followed their instructions to the T, and can't get it to work. Does
anyone have any insight on it? TechSoup and Microsoft haven't been any
help.
