Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg

After I install the serializer, I can't find it anywhere. I searched through Alfred and Finder, can't find it. Where is the Serializer file supposed to be located? It's not in my Applications folder.

@icebearmonster install == install & serialize

Thankkk you so much!! Such a great help!!! It does great! Everything you advised are very useful! :)

Huge thanks! Saved a lot of time and money. Registered on this site just to thank you!

Thank you 👍 Much appreciated :)

Thanks works like charm.

Thanks a lot. Didn't have to reinstall office even after opening it multiple times in the past in the readonly mode. It just worked by installing the serializer.

@ mcpeng
plz show me your screenshot of office 2019 version,
or other more info which are you follow

1. install Microsoft_Office_16.27.19071500_Installer.pkg
2. install Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
3. open Excel.app

the same for me. Always displaying "sign in", it requires activation even if I follow the procedure
Maybe the last choice is BRUTE FORCE.

@claudx maybe just "sign in"

@claudx maybe just "sign in"

already tried to sign in, always asking for activation.

@claudx 😕 so sad.

2. check the signature and the fingerprint for them

   pkgutil --check-signature Microsoft_Office_16.28.19081202_Installer.pkg
   pkgutil --check-signature Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg

3. comparison
   make sure their signature certificate have the same fingerprint

   bash-3.2$ pkgutil --check-signature Microsoft_Office_16.28.19081202_Installer.pkg
   + Package "Microsoft_Office_16.28.19081202_Installer.pkg":

@zthxxx I used your guide

@claudx
? ? ?
it's just a process of proof, not a guide

Amazing stuff. Works like a charm. Thanks a lot

anyway, brute formatting worked. now office works.
now my problem with Catalina iOS is Adobe Acrobat DC activation (damn)

@claudx 😄 ohhhh, that's exactly so brute

Thanks a lot. It works

@zthxxx I'm having the same, skip sign in doesn't show and when I did get it once, it still said activate, I'm on OS Catalina, any way to do this without brute force clean of my ssd? And what'll happen if I try restore from back up after the force clean? I've searched everywhere, and downloaded the files multiple times and can't figure this out at all

@ankit-lodha i think the reason is when uninstall Office from your macOS, Office will leave lots of libraries on disk

@zthxxx that’s the thing, I go in to /library and find all files com.microsoft and deleted them... even then, same issue :(

Does not work in macOs Catalina

I'm already in macOS Catalina, and the MS Office are still working fine.

Can I allow the update for the MS Office?

Can I allow the update for the MS Office?
