Successfully installed on MacOS Big Sur, and it works fine (offline) .
But I would like to know if it's safe to connect it to the internet by signing into my account?
I want to be sure I don't trigger them asking me to reactivate.
I have some files there I would prefer editing and saving online rather than offline.

I have been using Word 365 online for a while now. But recently, it's been misbehaving; keeps disconnecting and endlessly reconnecting every 1 or 2 minutes.
Anyone got a solution for that too?

UPDATE: It's safe to connect to the internet.

Have you already downloaded the .pkg file from MacAdmins or with HomeBrew?

If yes, then download VL Serializer and run it. It's as simple as that.

@ankitbbsr What was the issue in your case?

I don't know about the technical issue.

It was that, even after running the serializer the office was not getting activated and it was not showing the skip button and was asking to sign in.

So I assume it is something in the software that is causing this failure.

@NotThareesh

NotThareesh commented Jul 18, 2023

It is the same software. I believe there are no changes. Try to uninstall Office from your device completely using the link gist author provided here and then download the file from the direct link mentioned above. Run the serializer afterwards, preferably without opening the app (which is what I did).

The author has provided a note section for such problems

Good day folks,

Update - Sep 10, 2023:

I opened the raw data plist file you provided and downloaded as a .txt file while changing the extension from ".txt" to ".plist". Then I moved the file to /Library/Preferences folder while authenticating it.

I noticed there is another file named com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. I wonder if having this file also here would create any conflict with the licensing.

Then I opened the office applications, but there were asking for sigining in and activation.

Therefore I proceeded to use the Microsoft_Office_License_Removal tool that was also provided here. After doing this, I tried to opened the office applications again and now they just open a microsoft window for the sign in.

What did I do wrong? I don't know. [zthxxx], could you help to solve this issue?

I don't know how to interpret the instructions you provided (below) :

md5(com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist) = a8f1283303838b4d3bd943775e463239

cp com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist /Library/Preferences/

or download it in library by command line

curl -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/zthxxx/9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a/raw/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist -o /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist

Please note there are two different numbers for both of the instructions, not sure if they are related to the license numbers though, but they are not the same (with # md5 is a8f1283303838b4d3bd943775e463239 and with the # command line is 9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a). So which is it?

Lastly, is this thread still alive and working or not?

Thank you for your help!

copy license file com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist to Preferences how did you do it

@giuseppeme97

I have installed the 2019 versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but since about 1 month the updates for these software are suspended because the official support is ended. My question is: can I install the 2021 versions over the 2019 version, or do I have uninstall the previous versions?

I have the same issue can't follow this step, please someone help for 2016 Office install on 2012 MBP macOS Catalina

Do NOT use this old command:

curl -sSL git.io/office16-plist -o /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist

Use this one instead:

sudo curl -sSL gist.github.com/zthxxx/9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a/raw/61a60e3a9754fe0b36919bcf14d7ef12a0e386a9/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist -o /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist

@zthxxx can you please update your instructions?

You're a life saver- it worked. 1 attempt with this new code

U need to make sure u download correct version eg: 2019 need to match with 2019 serialazor Same with 21 -

What I asked is how can upgrade the already installed version of Office 2019 to 2021 version. Should I remove the old versions and reinstall the new one, or can I install the 2021 version over the 2019 one, and next install the 2021 serializer?

For all the people facing licence issue, I face the same. I was doing one particular mistake. Don't click on the link Official Link - Office 2019 Volume License 16.27.0
this will download the 16.80.0 which is not compatible with the serializer. Instead go to https://macadmins.software/ and download the 16.27.0 version , install it and then run the serializer. It will work fine.

Used to work till a few days ago when a message about this being single use license popped up and prompting me to activate license. Tried all the troubleshoot and even downloaded 16.27.0 version from macadmins page but it still doesn't work on my macbook Pro Ventura 13.6.3 either. please help! this used to be so good and helpful :(

tried to download 2021 version from macadmin but that didn't work too. was prompted to sign in with my account and then prompted to purchase the license. :(

Downloaded the 16.27 version from https://macadmins.software and it works perfectly on my MacBook Air 2017 running on Catalina 10.15.7

Just a question - I do have a Microsoft 365 Subscription from my university, but I graduate in 1 month, so should I sign up through it on my device? Will it override this patch and I might face issues once my university stops the subscription. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

For all the people facing licence issue, I face the same. I was doing one particular mistake. Don't click on the link Official Link - Office 2019 Volume License 16.27.0
this will download the 16.80.0 which is not compatible with the serializer. Instead go to https://macadmins.software/ and download the 16.27.0 version , install it and then run the serializer. It will work fine.
Thanks

Hi, I am not able to follow step 3: Run Serializer, after installing. I can install the pkg file, but then I cannot find where to run it from, any help is appreciated.

after installing, just open word, excel and start using it

How do we run the Serializer ? via the Terminal after installing it ?
I enter : Microsoft_Office_LTSC_2021_VL_Serializer but got the answer : "command not found"
How do we know where the serializer is installed and how do we run it ??

@scitechjohn Thanks for your sharing. Your file works. My laptop was a Macbook Pro with Monterey Mac OS. What I do is that: 1) uninstall any relevant Microsoft products if you have installed them; 2) disconnect the internet; 3) use your setup.pkg file to install the software; and 4) use your serializer file to activate the software. Now I could use it, thank you very much!!!

Guys, I was facing the same issue as you guys highlighted. However, I did a search for all the files that start with "com.microsoft" in my system using command line and I found around 150 such files which were created due to one reason or the another. Ofcourse, there will be some genuine microsoft applications that you may use on a regular basic (ignore all such files). For example, I use VS code and I ignore all those files. I deleted all of them manually and it took me around 20 to 30 minutes. I restarted my system and TADAAAAA IT WORKED.

You can guys can try and the same let me know what happens.
