Hi there,
I have an app for Word that I want to publish via app catalogue (Micrsoft Store is not an option here). Most of the users will be internal users but we'll have a few others as well. Now I don't see an option inside Sharepoint to enable the app catalogue for
users that use Office 2013 Professional WITHOUT a Microsoft or company account. So if someone installs Office just with a serial number it does not seem to be possible to get access to Office apps directly since the administrator won't be able to invite them.
Am I right or do I miss something here? Do people need to sign up at Microsoft first before using Office apps via app catalogue?
The best option would be to have a way to just open the app catalogue for anyone (of course with reading permissions), but that does not seem to be possible, it seems to be on an invitation-only basis.
Another alternative would be to publish the app catalogue via network share, however that will be hard to maintain in the long run.
