Hello
I'm using an official licence of Office 2011. Should I remove it before installing Office 2019? Or can both versions run on Mac OS?
I want to upgrade to 2019, forced by Catalina. Thanks for advice

Well Done... Good job (Catalina 10.15.1)

Well done, thanks !

Hello,
I tried to follow your tutorial, but it doesn’t work
Despite the use of the License Removal tool and the reactivation with Volume License Serializer , when starting Word it is asked to log me (sign in). my macos high sierra. please help me

thanks! worked here macos mojave

Thanks!

I don't understand why Microsoft released a 'crack' for their own products.
Worked on Catalina 10.15.4, thanks
BTW I have a digital license for 2019 but MS removed the option to deactivate so I cannot transfer it to macOS

@minayaba maybe you can try App Cleaner & Uninstaller app to clean legacy Office app data

Hello, a few people seem to have had this problem but I don't understand the replies... I cannot complete step 3, run Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer and it will automatic activate Office 2019.

1. I installed Office 2019. Installation was successful, Office files are in Applications folder. I have not opened them
2. I installed Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer Installation was successful.

I don't know how to run Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer. It is not in Applications folder.

I opened terminal to check the signature and got this:
Claires-MacBook-Pro:~ panda$ pkgutil --check-signature Microsoft_Office_16.28.19081202_Installer.pkg
Package does not exist: Microsoft_Office_16.28.19081202_Installer.pkg
AND
Claires-MacBook-Pro:~ panda$ pkgutil --check-signature Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
Package does not exist: Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg

I'm sure it is very simple but can someone explain step 3, how to run Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer ? I'm really lost here

@cithomas notice that you don't need to open or run the Serializer,

because it have serialized when you installed Serializer.pkg successful

Works like a charm! Simply follow the rules and make sure you delete all office apps before you begin!

You don't need any cleaner apps - I simply moved all apps from Applications to the trash folder and that was enough.

1. Delete previous Office apps
2. Install Office
3. Open and Install Serializer
4. Open Microsoft Office app(no need to sign in or anything)

macOS Catalina 10.15.2

One thing I noticed is that after opening Excel I had a pop-up asking me to update/install Office Authentication package which I have no idea what's about and cancelled it.

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

same problem 😢

Finally I've found the solution

Step 1: Download the license removal tool from Microsoft (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=849815) and install it to remove existing license.
Step 2: Reinstall Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg downloaded from this gist (https://gist.github.com/zthxxx/9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a/raw/Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg)
Step 3: Enable Launch Agent com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.helper which I disabled before in App Cleaner & Uninstaller app

Step 4: Open Office.

p/s: you can disable com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.helper in step 3 after step 4 successful, but remember to do all steps when no license found error occur.

Hope to help everyone.

Thank you a lot buddy!
i was completely disappointed about activating MS word on my mac and somehow you saved my life :)))
