Please note: Because the CRM Online Administration panel does not refresh itself automatically, you have to refresh the window from time to time. 

However, as soon as GroupCalendar installed, its status will be changed to Installed (see figure 7).

Now open CRM Online and click on Workplace > MyWork > GroupCalendar. The so opened window provides you with the information required to activate GroupCalendar.

Please note: Make sure that the user possesses the following roles: 
- mscrm-addons general security role
- MSCRMAddonsAzureService
- MSCRM-ADDONS.com GCAutoUpdate

Please open the GroupCalendar Service User (Settings > Administration > Users) and set the MSCRMAddons service user to non-interactive access mode (to do so, please follow this blog article). 
If the user is still counted by CRM dynamics licensing after being set to non-interactive, simply remove the CRM license from this user in the Office 365 Portal.

Now once again, open GroupCalendar in CRM (Workplace > My Work) and verify that everything works fine.

Enjoy GroupCalendar for CRM Online experience!
