Teachers and IT administrators can now get early access to **Minecraft Education Edition** and add it their Microsoft Store for Business for distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- **Minecraft Education Edition** requires Windows 10.
|
||||
- Early access to **Minecraft Education Edition** is offered to education tenants that are managed by Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
|
||||
- If your school doesn't have an Azure AD tenant, the [IT administrator can set one up](school-get-minecraft.md) as part of the process of getting **Minecraft Education Edition**.
|
||||
* Office 365, which includes online versions of Office apps plus 1 TB online storage and [Microsoft Classroom](https://classroom.microsoft.com/), is free for teachers and students. [Sign up your school for Office 365 Education.](https://products.office.com/en-us/academic/office-365-education-plan)
|
||||
* If your school has an Office 365 Education subscription, it includes a free Azure AD subscription. [Register your free Azure AD subscription.](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt703369%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)

# For IT administrators: get Minecraft Education Edition
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> <span style="color:#ED1C24;">[Some information relates to pre-released product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here. ]</span>
|
||||
|
||||
When you sign up for early access to [Minecraft Education Edition](http://education.minecraft.net), Minecraft will be added to the inventory in your Windows Store for Business, a private version of Windows Store associated with your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. Your Store for Business is only displayed to members of your organization.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: If you don't have an Azure AD or Office 365 tenant, you can set up a free Office 365 subscription when you request Minecraft Education Edition.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add Minecraft to your Windows Store for Business
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [http://education.minecraft.net/](http://education.minecraft.net/) and select **Get the app**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enter your email address.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- If your email address isn't associated to an Azure AD or Office 365 tenant, you'll be asked to fill in a form. The information will be used to create an Office 365 subscription for your school.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Select **Get the app**. This will take you to the Windows Store for Business to download the app. You will also receive an email with instructions and a link to the Store.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Sign in to Windows Store for Business with your email address.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Read and accept the Windows Store for Business Service Agreement, and then select **Next**.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Minecraft Education Edition** opens in the Windows Store for Business. Select **Get the app**. This places **Minecraft Education Edition** in your Store inventory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Distribute Minecraft
|
||||
|
||||
After Minecraft Education Edition is added to your Windows Store for Business, you have three options:
|
||||
|
||||
- You can install the app on your PC.
|
||||
- You can assign the app to others. Enter email addresses for your students, and each student will get an email with a link to install the app. This option is best for older, more-tech savvy students who always use the same PC at school.
|
||||
- You can download the app to distribute. This downloads a provisioning package (.ppkg) file. You save the file on a USB drive, and install the app on PCs from the UBb drive. This option is best for younger students and for shared computers.
