#### How do I know if my organization is set up for Centralized Deployment? <a href="#how-do-i-know-if-my-organization-is-set-up-for-centralized-deployment" id="how-do-i-know-if-my-organization-is-set-up-for-centralized-deployment"></a>

​Centralized deployment of add-ins requires that users are using Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (and are signed into Office using their organizational log-in credentials) and have Exchange Online mailboxes. Your subscription directory must either be in, or federated to, Azure Active Directory.​ Centralized Deployment is only supported for online mailboxes. It does not support deployment to on-premises Exchange mailboxes.​You can use the [Centralized Deployment Compatibility Checker](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/centralized-deployment-of-add-ins?view=o365-worldwide#centralized-deployment-compatibility-checker) to determine if your subscription is eligible.
