It looks like your license only allows for the web version, so your university probably isn't spending that much for it. You'd get the same message on Windows too.
I think this overlooks the full picture. It's not about the this one pin prick relating to their license. It's that working with Microsoft in any capacity is filled with paper cuts like this, annoyances, bad design, and overt errors. Every single day.
They're a User hostile company and they make a buck by doing just enough to convince non-experts to keep their enterprise licenses.
Windows 11 has been out for like 6 years and they still haven't fixed a major File Explorer bug: after a few minutes of File Explorer being open the menu bar for the old File Explorer pops up underneath the new thing that replace the menu bar; none of the buttons on this weird artifact from the past work. It's just there. Re-open File Explorer and it goes away, until a few minutes later and it re-appears.
Not as noticeable on light mode but a constant distracting reminder about how much Microslop sucks on dark mode.
