Deployment requirements:

Centralized Deployment

Centralized Deployment is the only supported deployment method of the OC.

The following requirements must be met to deploy the OC with this method:

1. All users must use Office 365 ProPlus and be signed in to Office using their Organizational IDs. 

2. Windows users must use version 1704 or later of Office 365 ProPlus

A more detailed description of the requirements and a description of how to check whether the requirements are met can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/manage/centralized-deployment-of-add-ins?view=o365-worldwide.

Alternative deployment methods 

Alternative deployment methods exist, but they should only be considered if no Office 365 ProPlus subscription is available. However, note that:

• These alternatives have not been tested, and they are a lot more cumbersome than Centralized Deployment. 

• No alternative seems to exist for making the OC available on Mac

Possible alternatives are

• Installing the OC separately on each computer where it is to be used: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/create-a-network-shared-folder-catalog-for-task-pane-and-content-add-ins

• Publishing the OC to a SharePoint app catalog: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/publish/publish-task-pane-and-content-add-ins-to-an-add-in-catalog
