Hi, I have successfully installed both the Office 2019 v16.27.0 and the Volume Licence on my MacOS Ventura. My Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote & Outlook are working well. Thank you.

Guys, it works, you just need to know how this "hack" works, and also how to make sure the modifications work.

  1. use the license purger
  2. reinstall the license
  3. go to the /Library/Preferences
  4. look for the flle labled com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist
  5. Go into the plist with text editor, xcode, bbedit or w.e. and delete everything. past in the code from this file.

For some reason the license installer doesn't put the correct .plist info in and you end up not getting activated, but the original code from this file, which you can download, or just copy and past it in, works! 09-24-24

also, make sure your using the older Microsoft's version, idk if the newer version works with this. and boom, works, tested on sequia and works. also this is a arm build, so yea..

@tomwhite1288 Are you talking about com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist ? Also, what is the license purger?

@tomwhite1288

make sure you have the older one installed, not the 2019 one, it didn't work on that one for me at lease. make sure you run the license installer or, open a terminal and type " touch /Llibrary/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist " now, open a file manager and go to that location, Library/Preferences/ and fund that file either you created or the one that was installed that is labeled : com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist. From this point you will either paste in the correct code configuration from which you can go to at the top of this form, look for the raw button for the /com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist section and just copy and past that into the license, save it and make sure microsoft apps are closed and restart them. Should work. good luck bud. you may be able to let me do it for you with team viewer, that simple you just install it and send me your link code, and I can do it from my end, well at lease try to help you. Atlease that way I'll know exactly what is going on.

@tomwhite1288

don't do the brew install, that installs the newest version guys. go back to the top after deleting the installation and make sure to download that older version, make sure you do no update it. This hack doesn't work for the newer version

For anyone who had already opened any MS office app before running the VL Serializer, OR updated it, you need to:

  1. Uninstall the app.
  2. Download Microsoft Office Reset from https://office-reset.com/ then run it and follow the prompt accordingly.
  3. Reinstall MS Office 2019 from https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/MacAutoupdate/Microsoft_Office_16.27.19071500_Installer.pkg or if you already have the package installer.
  4. Download the VL Serializer https://gist.github.com/zthxxx/9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a/raw/Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg, and run it.
