[Archived] Activate MS Office 2019/2016 for macOS - Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer

Office 2019 above

2019-06-03

Note that Office2019 DO NOT support activate via simple copy/paste plist license file which is the simplest way to activate Office 2016. Fortunately, you can also use the VL Serializer tool, just install Office 2019 and Serializer, then run Serializer to activate.

  1. DO NOT RUN OFFICE APP AFTER INSTALLED, but just install Office 2019 for macOS

    or install via brew:

    brew cask install microsoft-office
  2. manual download and install Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg

  3. run Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer and it will automatic activate Office 2019

  4. open the office app, completed.

Note

If you alaways been asked for 'Sign in' and still requires activation, please try to remove Office license files on a Mac. Here is the official download link for Microsoft_Office_License_Removal tool. (thanks for @lidroider's comment)

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!!!

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

Thanks a lot bro !! now it works just fine .

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.
