Important

Apple recently changed from using the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) to Apple Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). Intune is in the process of updating the Intune user interface to reflect that. Until such changes are complete, you'll continue to see Device Enrollment Program in the Intune portal. Wherever that is shown, it now uses Automated Device Enrollment.

For example, OS X 10 lets administrators query a Mac computer for its iTunes account to determine whether the Apple ID associated with the computer has changed. Admins can also do this with iOS 8.

The official name of this operating system is GNU. Hurd is the kernel in the GNU operating system. It is often listed as GNU/Hurd since there is also GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD, which are most of the GNU operating system with the Linux and FreeBSD kernels respectively.

You can set up Intune enrollment for macOS devices purchased through Apple's Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. You can use either of these enrollments for large numbers of devices without ever touching them. You can ship macOS devices directly to users. When the user turns on the device, Setup Assistant runs with preconfigured settings and the device enrolls into Intune management.

To set up enrollment, you use both the Intune and Apple portals. You create enrollment profiles containing settings that applied to devices during enrollment.

Neither Apple Business Manager enrollment or Apple School Manager work with the device enrollment manager.

Prerequisites

• Devices purchased in Apple School Manager or Apple's Automated Device Enrollment
• A list of serial numbers or a purchase order number.

Get an Apple ADE token

Before you can enroll macOS devices with ADE or Apple School Manager, you need a token (.p7m) file from Apple. This token lets Intune sync information about the devices that your organization owns. It also lets Intune upload enrollment profiles to Apple and assign these profiles to devices.

You use the Apple portal to create a token. You also use the Apple portal to assign devices to Intune for management.

Step 1. Download the Intune public key certificate required to create the token

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > macOS > macOS enrollment > Enrollment Program Tokens > Add.

2. Grant permission to Microsoft to send user and device information to Apple by selecting I agree.

3. Choose Download your public key to download and save the encryption key (.pem) file locally. The .pem file is used to request a trust-relationship certificate from the Apple portal.

Step 2. Use your key to download a token from Apple

1. Choose Create a token for via Apple Business Manager or Create a token via Apple School Manager to open the appropriate Apple portal, and sign in with your company Apple ID. You can use this Apple ID to renew your token.

2. For DEP, in the Apple portal, choose Get Started for Device Enrollment Program > Manage Servers > Add MDM Server.

3. For Apple School Manage, in the Apple portal, choose MDM Servers > Add MDM Server.

4. Enter the MDM Server Name, and then choose Next. The server name is for your reference to identify the mobile device management (MDM) server. It is not the name or URL of the Microsoft Intune server.

5. The Add <ServerName> dialog box opens, stating Upload Your Public Key. Select Choose File… to upload the .pem file, and then choose Next.

6. Go to Deployment Programs > Device Enrollment Program > Manage Devices.

7. Under Choose Devices By, specify how devices are identified:

   • Serial Number
   • Order Number
   • Upload CSV File.

8. For Choose Action, choose Assign to Server, choose the <ServerName> specified for Microsoft Intune, and then choose OK. The Apple portal assigns the specified devices to the Intune server for management and then displays Assignment Complete.

Step 3. Save the Apple ID used to create this token

In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, provide the Apple ID for future reference.

Step 4. Upload your token

In the Apple token box, browse to the certificate (.pem) file, choose Open, and then choose Create. With the push certificate, Intune can enroll and manage macOS devices by pushing policy to enrolled devices. Intune automatically synchronizes with Apple to see your enrollment program account.

Create an Apple enrollment profile

Now that you've installed your token, you can create an enrollment profile for devices. A device enrollment profile defines the settings applied to a group of devices during enrollment.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > macOS > macOS Enrollment > Enrollment program tokens.

2. Select a token, choose Profiles, and then choose Create profile > macOS.

3. On the Basics page, enter a Name and Description for the profile for administrative purposes. Users do not see these details. You can use this Name field to create a dynamic group in Azure Active Directory. Use the profile name to define the enrollmentProfileName parameter to assign devices with this enrollment profile. Learn more about Azure Active Directory dynamic groups.

4. For Platform, choose macOS.

5. Select Next to go to the Management Settings page.

6. For User Affinity, choose whether or not devices with this profile must enroll with or without an assigned user.

   • Enroll with User Affinity - Choose this option for devices that belong to users and that want to use the Company Portal app for services like installing apps. If using ADFS, user affinity requires WS-Trust 1.3 Username/Mixed endpoint. Learn more. Choose this option if you need multi-factor authentication (MFA).

   • Enroll without User Affinity - Choose this option for device unaffiliated with a single user. Use this for devices that perform tasks without accessing local user data. Apps like the Company Portal app don't work.

7. If you selected Enroll with User Affinity for the User Affinity field, you now have the option to choose the authentication method to use when authenticating users. For Authentication method, select one of the following options:

   • Setup Assistant (legacy): Use the legacy Setup Assistant if you want users to experience the typical, out-of-box-experience for Apple products. This installs standard preconfigured settings when the device enrolls with Intune management. If you're using Active Directory Federation Services and you're using Setup Assistant to authenticate, a WS-Trust 1.3 Username/Mixed endpoint is required. Learn more.

   • Setup Assistant with modern authentication: This option is in Public Preview. Devices running macOS 10.15 and later can use this method (older macOS devices in this profile will fall back to using the Setup Assistant (legacy) process).

     If a conditional access policy that requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) applies at enrollment or at enrollment and during Company Portal sign in, then MFA is required. However, MFA is optional based on the Azure AD settings in the targeted Conditional Access policy.

     After completing all the Setup Assistant screens, the end user lands on the home page (at which point their user affinity is established). However, until the user signs in to the Company Portal using their Azure AD credentials, the device:

     • Won’t be fully registered with Azure AD.
     • Won’t show up in the user’s device list in the Azure AD portal.
     • Won’t have access to resources protected by conditional access.
     • Won’t be evaluated for device compliance.
     • Will be redirected to the Company Portal from other apps if the user tries to open any managed applications that are protected by conditional access.

     For more information on how to get the macOS Company Portal on the users device, see Add the Company Portal for macOS app.

8. For Locked enrollment, choose whether or not you want locked enrollment for devices using this profile. Yes disables macOS settings that allow the management profile to be removed from the System Preferences menu or through the Terminal. After device enrollment, you cannot change this setting without wiping the device.

9. Select Next to go to the Setup Assistant page.

10. On the Setup Assistant page, configure the following profile settings:

    Department settings	Description
    Department Name	Appears when users tap About Configuration during activation.
    Department Phone	Appears when the user clicks the Need Help button during activation.

    You can choose to show or hide a variety of Setup Assistant screens on the device when the user sets it up.

    • If you choose Hide, the screen won't be displayed during setup. After setting up the device, the user can still go in to the Settings menu to set up the feature.
    • If you choose Show, the screen will be displayed during setup. The user can sometimes skip the screen without taking action. But they can then later go into the device's Settings menu to set up the feature.

    Setup Assistant screen settings	If you choose Show, during setup the device will...
    Location Services	Prompt the user for their location. For macOS 10.11 and later and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Restore	Display the Apps & Data screen. This screen gives the user the option to restore or transfer data from iCloud Backup when they set up the device. For macOS 10.9 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Apple ID	Give the user the options to sign in with their Apple ID and use iCloud. For macOS 10.9 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Terms and Conditions	Require the user to accept Apple's terms and conditions. For macOS 10.9 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Touch ID	Give the user the option to set up fingerprint identification for the device. For macOS 10.12.4 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 8.1 and later.
    Apple Pay	Give the user the option to set up Apple Pay on the device. For macOS 10.12.4 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Siri	Give the user the option to set up Siri. For macOS 10.12 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    Diagnostic Data	Display the Diagnostics screen to the user. This screen gives the user the option to send diagnostic data to Apple. For macOS 10.9 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 7.0 and later.
    FileVault	Display the FileVault 2 encryption screen to the user. For macOS 10.10 and later.
    iCloud diagnostics	Display the iCloud Analytics screen to the user. For macOS 10.12.4 and later.
    iCloud Storage	Display the iCloud Documents and Desktop screen to the user. For macOS 10.13.4 and later.
    Display Tone	Give the user the option to turn on Display Tone. For macOS 10.13.6 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 9.3.2 and later.
    Appearance	Display the Appearance screen to the user. For macOS 10.14 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 13.0 and later.
    Registration	Display the registration screen to the user. For macOS 10.9 and later.
    Screen Time	Display the Screen Time screen. For macOS 10.15 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 12.0 and later.
    Privacy	Display the Privacy screen to the user. For macOS 10.13.4 and later, and iOS/iPadOS 11.3 and later.
    Accessibility	Display the Accessibility screen to the user. If this screen is hidden, the user won't be able to automatically hear voice over. Voice over is only supported on devices that: - Run macOS 11. - Are connected to the internet using Ethernet. - Have the serial number appear in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.

11. Select Next to go to the Review + create page.

12. To save the profile, choose Create.

Sync managed devices

Now that Intune has permission to manage your devices, you can synchronize Intune with Apple to see your managed devices in Intune in the Azure portal.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > macOS > macOS Enrollment > Enrollment program tokens.

2. Choose a token in the list > Devices > Sync.

   To comply with Apple's terms for acceptable enrollment program traffic, Intune imposes the following restrictions:

   • A full sync can run no more than once every seven days. During a full sync, Intune fetches the complete updated list of serial numbers assigned to the Apple MDM server connected to Intune. After an Enrollment Program device is deleted from Intune portal without being unassigned from the Apple MDM server in the Apple portal, it won't be re-imported to Intune until the full sync is run.
   • If a device is released from ABM/ASM, it can take up to 45 days for it to be automatically deleted from the devices page in Intune. You can manually delete released devices from Intune one by one if needed. Released devices will be accurately reported as being Removed from ABM/ASM in Intune until they are automatically deleted within 30-45 days.
   • A sync is run automatically every 24 hours. You can also sync by clicking the Sync button (no more than once every 15 minutes). All sync requests are given 15 minutes to finish. The Sync button is disabled until a sync is completed. This sync will refresh existing device status and import new devices assigned to the Apple MDM server.

Assign an enrollment profile to devices

You must assign an enrollment program profile to devices before they can enroll.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > macOS > macOS Enrollment > Enrollment program tokens > choose a token in the list.
2. Choose Devices > choose devices in the list > Assign profile.
3. Under Assign profile, choose a profile for the devices > Assign.

Assign a default profile

You can pick a default macOS and iOS/iPadOS profile to be applied to all devices enrolling with a specific token.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > macOS > macOS Enrollment > Enrollment program tokens > choose a token in the list.
2. Choose Set Default Profile, choose a profile in the drop-down list, and then choose Save. This profile will be applied to all devices that enroll with the token.

Distribute devices

You have enabled management and syncing between Apple and Intune, and assigned a profile to let your devices enroll. You can now distribute devices to users. Devices with user affinity require each user be assigned an Intune license. Devices without user affinity require a device license.

Devices registered with ABM/ASM and assigned a profile in Intune can be enrolled:

• During Setup Assistant for new devices or wiped devices.
• After Setup Assistant using the profiles command.

Enroll your macOS device registered in ABM/ASM with Automated Device Enrollment during Setup Assistant

Devices configured in ABM/ASM will automatically enroll into management with Intune during Setup Assistant with a Remote Management prompt.

Note

If the device was assigned to a macOS enrollment profile with user affinity, you must sign in to the Company Portal for Azure AD registration and Conditional Access.

Enroll your macOS device registered in ABM/ASM with Automated Device Enrollment after Setup Assistant

For macOS 10.13 and later devices, you can follow these steps to enroll.

1. In the Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager portal, import the device.
2. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, make sure that the device is assigned a macOS enrollment profile with or without user affinity.
3. Log in to the device as a local administrator account.
4. To trigger enrollment, on the Home page, open Terminal and run the following command:sudo profiles renew -type enrollment
5. Enter your device password for the local administrator account.
6. In the Device enrollment window, choose Details.
7. In the System preferences window, choose Profiles.
8. Follow the prompts that will download the management profile, certs, and policies from Intune. You can view the profiles on the device anytime by going to System Preferences > Profiles.
9. If the device was assigned to a macOS enrollment profile with user affinity, you must sign in to the Company Portal for Azure AD registration and Conditional Access.

Renew an ADE token

1. Go to business.apple.com and sign in with an account that has the role of Administrator or Device Enrollment Manager.

2. Choose Settings > under MDM Servers choose your MDM server associated with the token file that you want to renew > Download Token.

3. Choose Download Server Token.

4. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Device enrollment > Apple Enrollment > Enrollment program tokens > choose the token.

5. Choose Renew token and enter the Apple ID used to create the original token.
   

6. Upload the newly downloaded token.

7. Choose Renew token. You'll see the confirmation that the token was renewed.

Next steps

After enrolling macOS devices, you can start managing them.

When choosing which laptop to buy, it makes sense to know what comes with it. And the most significant part of the decision is to know what software you get with the computer.

First, I want to mention that whether you buy Macbook Pro or Air the software bundle that comes with them is absolutely the same. You don’t get more programs if you spend more on the Apple laptop.

So, what software comes with a Macbook?

Any Macbook comes with macOS Big Sur (operating system) and built-in (free) software such as Time Machine, FaceTime, Safari, and Apple Music and TV. Macs do not come with games, antivirus, MS Office, or Final Cut Pro.

Here is a full list of built-in apps that come with every Mac:

How about MS Office and programs such as Word and Excel? I will touch on this topic after I give an overview of all the built-in apps first.

Software That Comes With Every MacBook Air/Pro

macOS Big Sur

Every computer needs an operating system. The operating system performs basic operations such as starting programs, reading data from the disks, controlling the display and sound, etc.

All apps that run on any computer use operating system in order to interact with the user or various computer components.

Is it OSX or macOS? For a long time, the operating system on Mac was called OSX. You can still hear some people use this term. However, in 2016, Apple renamed it to macOS, so we will use this term going forward.

Each year Apple releases a new version of macOS. They used to be backward compatible, i.e., they supported all Mac models produced in earlier days.

Mojave was the first macOS which could not be installed on some of the oldest Macs. I expect every next release will have similar restrictions. So, if you have an older Mac, check you can upgrade it to the latest OS.

Siri on Mac

Siri is a great virtual assistant tool which can increase your productivity if used properly.

What can Siri do? Most people use Siri to search for something on the internet. All you do is ask Siri a question, and it will transform the voice command to a text which will be sent to a search engine. Once Siri gets results, it will tell what it had found.

Another use is to find anything on the Mac. For instance, Siri is great when you need to find a document you worked on last week.

In my opinion, the most powerful feature of Siri is controlling Mac and connected devices. For instance, you can ask Siri turn off Wifi and Bluetooth, raise or lower the sound volume, send a message, set the alarm, take a selfie, etc.

And finally, people use Siri when they are bored. Siri can tell jokes, find the music you want to listen or read the news.

Safari

Safari is an internet browser that gets pre-installed on almost all Apple products.

Is it the best browser? Definitely, not, but it does the work. The advantage of Safari is that Apple wrote it specifically for Apple computers. So, it supposed to have some edge over other browsers in terms of energy usage and speed.

If you don’t like Safari, you can always download your favorite internet browsers, such as Chrome or Firefox.

Mail

Mail is fairly simple built-in email client. You can do things that any email client does: write and read emails, send attachments, sort and find messages, organize messages in folders. If you a regular email user then Mail client will be enough. Power users will find features limiting and will most likely invest in better solutions.

I use Mail to combine various secondary emails accounts in one place. I don’t use any desktop clients for my primary email, because I don’t want my messages to be stored on the computer in case if it ever gets stolen or lost.

FaceTime on Mac

If you have an iPhone you probably already know what FaceTime is. With FaceTime, you can make a video call to anyone who has FaceTime installed on his/her Mac or iPhone/iPad. You can also make a group call. In both cases, FaceTime uses Wifi as transport.

Additionally, FaceTime on Mac can connect to your iPhone and make a regular phone call.

Messages on Mac

If you have an iPhone, you probably noticed that messages sent to someone who has an iPhone have blue color while non-iPhone users get green messages. It’s because Apple uses proprietary messaging protocol when sending messages between Apple products using Wifi instead of the cellular network.

What does this mean for you? It means that you can send messages to iPhone or Mac users from your Mac without having a cellular connection. Also, it means that these messages do not count to your SMS limit (if you have one in your mobile plan).

Unfortunately, to send messages to Android friends, you still have to have an iPhone which Mac can use SMS.

News app

With the News app on Mac, you can follow a channel or even a specific topic of interest. Apple will aggregate the news and send them to you periodically. You can read them in the app and then like or even share.

In 2019 Apple launched a subscription service called News+. It’s a paid service. With this service, you can get stories from premium newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal or Time.

Books app

If you frequently purchase books from the Book Store, they will appear in the Books app. You can see books in all (or almost all) Apple devices, including MacBook Pro. If you don’t buy books or prefer to use Amazon, then you don’t need the app.

Stocks app

Besides following news, you can also follow stock prices. With the Stocks app, you can add ticker symbols to your watchlist. You can also view stocks in the Notification center on Mac. Stocks app also allows seeing price charts with multiple ranges.

Overall, it’s a very basic app for an average investor — nothing to write home about. Serious investors may find the app lacking functionality.

Home app

The Home app is a program that may become very big in the future when we all going to have smart homes. If you have a device that can be controlled over the network you can add it as an accessory to the Home app.

Once installed, you can then control lighting, temperature, home security, TV, and speakers. The list is endless. Besides issues commands and changing things in real-time you can set schedule.

For instance, you can set up the thermostat to start heating the house right before you arrive home. And all of this can be controlled thru Siri which will manage the Home app and its accessories.

Voice Memos

My personal favorite. Whether you are recording the lecture in class or just recording your notes for the next blog, Voice Memos can capture your recordings. You can then replay or even edit recordings, although editing capabilities are not too impressive. You can later transcribe voice memos to a text.

Notes app

Apple has a rudimentary note-taking app. Whether you need to save a recipe or make a to-do list, you can use Notes. This is not the best app by all means, but it comes with some neat features. You can attach different media such as pictures, videos, and even locations on the Maps.

There is also a collaboration feature. You can share a note with multiple people and work together. I’ve never tried it myself because I believe Google Docs is a much better and simpler tool to use for this purpose.

Calendar

Each computer needs a calendar app, and Macs have a pretty good one. As most applications in macOS, this one integrated with other programs on your laptop. So, if you need to add a location on Maps in your calendar event, you can do it. Other features include sending and receiving invites.

Calendar app obviously connected to your Mail app so you can see all meetings from all Mail accounts in one place. You can also color-code your calendars so you can quickly spot events related to family, work, or others.

Overall, it’s a relatively simple app. I always have it on my Dock because I keep forgetting which date it is 🙂

Contacts

I don’t use the Contacts app at all. With this app, you can aggregate multiple contact lists in one giant collection. But I don’t see any need for that. I prefer to keep contacts on my phone, not a laptop.

Reminders

Another app without a clear purpose. I use Reminders on my iPhone, but on the Mac, I don’t see a need for it when there is a much more powerful Calendar app. And if I need to take notes to collaborate with other people, I can use the Notes app.

Photo Booth

While most of us use MacBooks for work and study sometimes, we want to have some fun, and Photo Booth is super fun to use. With this app, you can quickly snap a selfie of yourself or yourself with friends.

Prefer videos? Not a problem, you can shoot videos with Photo Booth as well. If you need time to set up the scene, there is a default three-second countdown before taking a photo. You can also use various effects to make your photos funny. And finally, you can use any image to create a custom backdrop.

Preview

Preview is a very powerful tool on your Mac. When I switched from Windows to Mac, one thing I was missing was an MSPaint program. It took me some time, but I finally learned how to use Preview to edit images for my blogs. In some case, Preview is even better than my old favorite.

For instance, Preview keeps a history of changes you made to the image even after you close the app. In fact, I don’t know any other standard file editing software other than Preview, which allows you to go back in history after you saved the changes and close the program.

Another area where Preview can be useful is PDF annotations. You can add text, signature, or even shapes to any PDF document. And again, Mac keeps the history of changes so you can always go back in time.

Time Machine

Speaking of going back in time, Time Machine is not a fantasy novel. On the Mac Time Machine is a backup tool. If there is one thing that I would like you to remember from this post is you need a backup strategy for your computer. Things happen (virus, crash, documents accidentally deleted) and often the best and only remedy is to restore the old image of your MacBook from the Time Machine device.

I wrote a very detailed blog post about Time Machine and other possible backup tools, so please check it out: Time Machine on Mac: How it Works, Best Practices and FAQ

Apple Music

For a long time, iTunes was an audio and video player that came standard with any Macbook.

However, it was split into multiple apps with macOS Catalina and the role of iTunes was taken by Apple Music.

There is an Apple Music store where you can purchase music and rent movies. You can join Apple music as a subscriber, and you can manage your subscriptions there.

Apple TV

Another app that spawned from iTunes. You can use Apple TV to watch your favorite shows, movies and Apple TV+ channel.

Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts is the last part of iTunes that became a standalone app. You can subscribe to podcasts and listen them with this app.

App Store

While the list of built-in apps in macOS is good enough, you will always need more programs. There are two main ways to get new programs on MacBook: download from the vendor web site or buy from Apple Store.

If you have both options, I suggest you always go through Apple Store route. Apple has very strict requirements for any app they host in their stores. At the minimum, they all free from viruses. And yes, Macs can get viruses. Another advantage of the App Store is the ease of updates. You can configure the app to install updates automatically same way you configure the operating system updates.

And finally, any app you bought from the App Store you can download again if you deleted it. If you downloaded the app from the vendor web site, the process of downloading and finding a license might be quite complicated.

So this was a brief overview of built-in apps that come pre-installed on any new MacBook. There other applications that you can install for free. Specifically, there are two popular software suits: iLife and iWork.

iLife apps

Initially, the iLife software suite consisted of multiple apps, most of which were discontinued. The only two apps left are iMovie and GarageBand.

GarageBand

The GarageBand lets you play, record, edit, mix, and share music! You do not have to worry that you do not know a single note. Everything is there. Just open the application, select an instrument, then press the notes that tingle your ears. As easy as that, you can create your music. You can also add your voice by recording it.

iMovie

iMovie, on the other hand, gets you in touch with your video skills. It is the perfect application for neophyte video editors. It provides a user-friendly interface but lets you turn your raw footages into one creatively edited video. Personally, I use iMovie to edit my YouTube videos, and I found it very easy to learn and use.

iWork apps

There is a suite of apps that mimic Microsoft Office functionality, and they are free for anyone using macOS: Numbers, Pages, and Keynote. You can download all three from the App Store.

• Numbers is an alternative for MS Excel. You can save Numbers spreadsheets as Excel documents or import Excel documents in Numbers.
• Pages is an alternative for MS Word. You can save Pages documents as Word files and edit Word documents in Pages.
• And Keynote is an alternative for Powerpoint. As you already understand, it is possible to work with Powerpoint documents in Keynote.

What Apple empathizes is that with iWork, you can work on MS Office documents just in different apps.

Apple provides a way to share the documents built-in iWork apps through the iCloud or Box. Another neat feature you can use Touch ID to lock and unlock the iWork documents.

Software That DOES Not Come With Macs

MS Office on Mac

iWork may be a viable alternative to MS Office, but feature-wise it’s nowhere near to Microsoft suite. Fortunately, Microsoft ported the big trio of apps to macOS. These apps look a little different than Windows counterparts (key combinations are different), but they are very close. If you had experience working with any Office apps on Windows, you would quickly figure out how to edit documents on Mac.

Does MacBook Pro come with Word or Excel? No, Macs do not come with MS Office pre-installed. Although it is free to download, remember that you still have to pay to have an account for the Microsoft office to be activated in your MacBook Pro. The Microsoft Office from the App Store only gives you a 30-day free trial.

How to get Microsoft Word or Excel on MacBook for free?

There are three possible ways to get Word or Excel for free:

• Get Office license at work. For instance, your account may allow you to install up to five copies. So you can install one at the work computer and one at home. But first, ask permission from your manager.
• Get Office license in college. Most colleges in the US provide free Office licenses.
• Download from pirate web sites. I do not recommend doing this for two reasons: it’s illegal and very hacked programs contain viruses. In fact, if you see any link with a promise of a free Word install, know it’s a scam. Don’t click on those links!

There are, however, two ways to get MS Office for less money:

• Get a student edition. In this case, you either need to be a student or know someone who’s a student.
• Some sites may offer to sell Microsoft apps for deep discounts. What they do is they have volume editions, i.e., multiple licenses they paid for. Then they sell those individual licenses. All you need is to download the program and apply for the license. Is this legal? I don’t know. As they say, consult with your attorney.

Photoshop

Does Photoshop come with MacBook Pro/Air? No, it does not. Adobe offers 7-day free trial version after which it is required to subscribe for one of their plans: Photography ($9.99/mo), Photoshop ($20.99/mo) or Creative Cloud Apps ($52.99/mo). Students and teachers can get Creative Cloud Apps for $19.99/mo.

Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X

Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X are the most popular Apple apps, but unfortunately, they are not free. Moreover, they are very expensive. You can buy Logic Pro X for $199.99 and Final Cut Pro X for $299.99 from the Apple App Store.

Antivirus Apps

I often hear people saying that Macs don’t get viruses, however, I know that this is not true. It is true, however, that macOS has some rudimentary defense against malware, but if you are serious about security you need to either download a free antimalware app or buy a commercial one.

Zoom, Skype and Teams

Most video conferencing tools, such as Zoom and Teams are free for Macs. They have some internal limitations, but there is nothing specific to Apple products.

Games

Entroompreneur Mac Os Download

Apple computers do not come with games included. So, if you are a fan of Fortnite or Civilization you have to purchase them. The same applies to Steam games.

There is no even Solitaire or Minesweeper on Mac (my favorites on PCs).
