Regular reactivation
After Office 365 ProPlus has been activated on a computer, additional activation checks must be performed every 30 days These automatic activation checks occur automatically when the computer connects to the Internet. This 30-day period is an important consideration for certain types of scenarios and will determine whether it's okay to deploy Office 365 ProPlus or if it is necessary to deploy an appropriate edition of Office 2013.

Allocating Storage
Automatically - pooled storage model Manually - manually configure storage allocations on per-site collection basis
Enable telemetry through Group Policy
Before you can enable telemetry through Group Policy, you need to install the Office 2013 Group Policy administrative template. You can download the administrative template from the Microsoft website at http://www. microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554. You'll need to download the file to a domain controller and then run it. If you are deploying to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller, ensure that you download the 64-bit version of the administrative template file. This is because Windows Server 2012 R2 is an x64 platform. While the x86 version will likely also run, you should choose the architecture that matches the platform on which you will install the template. When running the file downloaded from the Internet, you will be asked to agree to the license terms, When you have agreed to the license terms, click Continue. You will be asked to choose a temporary directory in which to extract the template files. After you have extracted the files, you will need to do the following: ■■ Copy the file Office15.admx to the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder. ■■ Copy the language appropriate Office15.adml file to the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ Language folder. For example, if using EN-US for US English, copy the Office15.adml file from the EN-US folder where you extracted the templates to the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ en-US folder Once admx/adml files are copied, the you can edit the following policies, which are located in the User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2013\Telemetry Dashboard
