Downgrade Rights in Volume Licensing programs give you the right to use any prior version of the same product. For example, if you're licensed for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 through Volume Licensing, you can use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 instead. Microsoft released Office 2019 for Mac on September 24th, 2018 (Version 16.17). Parallels for mac 10.7.5. While these builds contain advanced new features, if you run into any work-stopping issues after installing Office 2019 for Mac, you can go back to Office 2016 for Mac (Version 16.16) if you had it previously installed.

Like many others here I will be advising users away from Microsoft products like Microsoft Office to less cumbersome products in the open-source community, like LibreOffice, which has matured significantly since it forked from OpenOffice.org.. Gregory for Microsoft wrote: Office 365 and Office 2016 are pretty much doing away with the Product key in favor of a user login. Each user will have 5 activations and as long as they have separate user profiles you can set this up once and as the use the Office applications they will be required to login at least once a month to keep it activated without login prompts. This really shines with SSO and ADFS / AD Sync.

Removing it!' Rm /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist exit 0 else echo 'License file not found! The process is the same. Currently the 15.17 serialiser does not remove/overwrite an existing v2.plist but then it doesn't have to yet because the apps still function correctly with a copied v2.plist MS will fix the serialiser to remove/overwrite the v2.plist before the apps fail to work with a copied v2.plist don't concern yourself too much with this. It will be fixed when it needs to be. The process will remain the same as mentioned above. If you wish to be super proactive, run a preflight script to remove the v2.plist before the vl serialiser package installs.

Create a Microsoft Account or use your existing account and begin installing Office 2016 for Mac. You need to create or use your existing Microsoft Account to login this step is mandatory. Here is the steps with screenshots: Step-1 Step-2 Step-3 Thanks prathaprabhu Don't Say Can't Say Can to Not.

Didn’t run the VL utility. Logged into one of the accounts; didn’t find the licenses. Then, ran the utility.

Anyway, this post has gotten lots of hits since I last looked at it. So, a couple of thoughts to bring up.

Have seen Rich's post.not knocking it.in fact Rich has helped me with other issues. My desire was for understanding of the logic behind this crazy package.

What is it & should I use it? With Office 2016, Microsoft are moving to a device based serialisation method. Which means that deploying the plist /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingv2.plist will no longer work. This device based serialisation is based around the generating a license on the Mac that is to be running Office 2016. So if you employ monolithic imaging or deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot etc, the serialisation will not work. (Please don’t deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot, use the pkg).

I tested those plists last night, and it worked to skip those screens. So, I thought of a Composer DMG that places the plists right after the Office installer. However, from your example, I suppose I can just include them within this bigger package, and use a postinstall script to move them to the right location. The difference in my company's environment is that we are, in fact, upgrading to Office 365 with all the bells and whistles. So, I can't fiddle too much with the installer. I just want our VL to be set, and then when the users first launch Outlook (because it's the first thing they always launch), they (or IT) can enter their account creds so they can use our company's new Office 365 service. What I'm wondering is if one logs into Office 365 on one app (like Outlook), it'll pass the info to all the apps so they don't have to enter that again.

Will the AutoUpdate install as part of this method? If so, how do we stop the AutoUpdate from installing this way? Will I still have to bundle a 'choices.xml' file with the suite installer? I don't want my users to get that 'Microsoft AU Daemon' warning, and any prompts that there's an update available.

Name Type Comments Requires Live System File Size★ SKU-less★★ Installer Contains all apps. Good for O365 installations.

A good overall resource for tracking the Office 2016 product names, plans and upgrade timing can be found in Microsoft's 'Office Problems and Solutions and Frequently Asked Questions' community forum page. At the end of that page, Microsoft published a table listing the Office 365 plan/version, along with the upgrade timeline. The page also lists common problems associated with Office 2016 installations, some of which are still unresolved. Also, some known install caveats are described in. One big change for Office 2016 users is that they will have to follow Microsoft's new service plans, which consist of 'first release,' 'current branch' and 'current branch for business' release cycles. For more information on the service models, see. Office 365 Availability Microsoft had earlier explained in that its Office 365 ProPlus users (who currently have the Office 2013 suite) would get automatically upgraded to the Office 2016 version starting 'in February 2016' if their subscriptions were set to get automatic downloads directly from Microsoft.

Read up bro, I explained earlier Posted: 1/5/16 at 5:30 PM by calumhunter I don't understand how people are having so much difficulty with all this. Its about as simple as can be. Take the Microsoft_Office_2016_Volume_Installer.pkg from the VLSC portal and install it any way you like -> DONE OR Take the office 365 installer package from the publicly available MS site i.e. The Retail/non VL version. Install that first, then install the VL serialiser package -> DONE No mess, no fuss.

Thank you for this. I installed Office 2016 on a new Mac on an air-gapped network and Microsoft had no way for me to activate and use the product. Though I have a key that I have paid for, I was forced to use your solution to activate the software that I paid for. How short-sighted for Microsoft that they didn’t provide an offline activation mechanism. There are at least hundreds of thousands of computers (maybe millions) that now cannot upgrade to Office 2016 because there is no way to perform an offline activation. They’ll either do what I did and use your tool, or just quit using MS Office. Sophia Hi FireWolf I tried Downloading from other sites including PB and Kat and Extra torrent but had no luck in activating the Product for the following versions 15.11 – 15.12 – 15.13 they all directed towards the Terminal App where you had to copy & paste from the Patch or insert the Patch into the Frame works Folder.

I've taken programming classes and I fail miserably at it. Doing the steps required just to make the installer do what 'last year's version' did without fail borders on writing code. Personally I need to separate my frustration of these factors from 'doing my job'. A long but very well written post above. I agree with your statement regarding trying to use a vendor package when possible.

Inside of this file you will find the latest VL Installer package and the VL Serializer package. At this time, the VLSC has 15.17 however 15.18 has been released. Microsoft is working to sync the development and VLSC teams so that the latest update is available on the VLSC faster. This installer is deployed via Apple’s Installer Application (command line & GUI) and can be deployed via: • Apple Remote Desktop • Munki • Casper • While at the loginwindow • And can NOT be baked into an image.

Downloaded your Version the full package on OSX El Capitan Mac Office 2016 V15.17.0 And it all worked flawlessly apart from Excel that file was corrupted so I went elsewhere and download it from another site. Well done to the developer of this package great job Xxx Many Thanks •. Jean thank you for your respond. The issue is my friend bought it for me using his account and gave me the product key. Then i have been trying to activate it and its asking me to enter his account information.

For Office 2016 for Mac (volume license) •.

There's a good post explaining how to use choices.xml: In this game, knowledge is power. And it gives you more options in tackling a problem. It is absolutely unnecessary to use Composer to deploy Office 2016. A few minor modifications by simply expanding the Office installers using pkgutil to expand and then re-flatten should do the trick. Here is my choices.xml:

Stacy I’m running MS Office 2011 for Mac and OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks, I already downloaded and paid for MS Office 365 for Mac, but it won’t run on 10.9.5. I need to upgrade to 10.10.0, however, the only update available is Sierra, which I already downloaded and hand multiple problems with running Adobe CS6. It took two days, five Apple tech agents, and a reversal with TimeMachine to get my computer back to normal. CS6 won’t run on Sierra and I’m not upgrading to CC. Any runarounds for getting MS Office to work on my system? Tire FireWolf Need help.

Double-Click the FWMSO2016VL.app. OK, finally I completely rewrote the utility. Problem fixed. This new Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac VL Utility V2.0 has been tested against Office 15.13.1 and 15.14.0 under OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and OS X El Capitan GM. Downloads: (Thanks to Joss’s contribution, working on Office 2019 for Mac (16.17.x+)) This app is created three years ago and is not signed by a developer certificate, so you will receive a prompt saying that the application is corrupted and should be moved to the trash bin nowadays. Please navigate to FWMSO2019VL.app/Contents/MacOS/ in your Finder, open the terminal, drag the FWMSO2019VL binary to the terminal window and press the “Enter” key. The lock icon no longer indicates the current activation status correctly, so you need to click the lock/unlock icon and follow the prompt to activate your copy.

If I could point to a MS web page and show my boss how much of a C#!*@& F(#&(@! It is, I can get some relief from the pressure to get this deployed to all our Macs.

How to implement Choices.xml in to my JSS Policy? This has been a very enlightening thread and I have been able to install the Full Office 2016 Volume License with 'my' Choices.xml file locally via CLI and it works perfectly. What I do not know and am looking forward to learning, is how to implement the Choices.xml file into my current JSS policy. The policy is configured with the 'MS Office 2016 v15.14 Volume License.pkg' installer set to priority 10 and the ' MS Office 2016 v15.14 License File.pkg' (packaged with composer) set to priority 11. They run in the correct order and I get a fully installed, licensed Office suite. However, I do want to suppress One note, AutoUpdate and the License volume with my Choices file. Can anyone expand on this and help me learn the proper way to do this?

It shows ‘green’ in the app, but the Excel (and others) are not activated. I ‘re-activated’ it multiple times. 2) I uninstalled completely multiple times (full), and tried running the utility first without logging into account.

Now, digging in deeper on the Office15_all_volume_licensing.pkg is quite interesting as well. Tim has a good write up of it here You can easily not install the volume licence package with the VLA installer by using an installerchoices.xml file - no need to unpack or repack That will let you deploy the VLA silently via the CLI or Munki or Casper ect ect without the package hanging while it tries to licence the product You will still have issues with the MAU being untrusted and having to allow the MAU daemon when you open a MS app for the first time Or you can just download the 15.3.1 updaters from MS for each app.

With the current state of affairs with Office 2016. It's a good idea to keep at least one computer in your organization loaded with Office 2011. It may take a year or two for 2016 to come back up to level of 2011.

• Select Continue on the pop-up window and download the VL serializer. • Once the download is complete, double-click to open the Office_2016_Mac.iso file and run the installer package - Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkg. • Launch any Office app, like Word.

I have confirmed by navigating in Finder to /Library/Application Support/Microsoft that MAU, and MERP (old versions, no less) are installed: I created a 'no_mau_lync.xml' choices XML file for Lync that excludes 'appsupport,' which is the package that installs MAU and MERP from Lync's installer. I based it on 's choices XML file that worked for my Office 2016 installer.

• The installation may take place while no user is logged in, and the machine is waiting at the login window. This may be so because a machine has just had its OS installed or re-imaged, and the deployment tools are now automatically installing all the other software destined for this machine. A software may also require a logout or restart, and therefore the deployment tools may opt to first log the user out so that the software can be installed. Office 2016’s licensing packages The volume license installer is provided as a Distribution installer package, which includes two components that specifically pertain to licensing: 1) com.microsoft.pkg.licensing, and 2) com.microsoft.pkg.licensing.volume. You can inspect these packages yourself using a GUI tool like or the, or even simpler by using the pkgutil tool that’s built-in to OS X, and just expand the flat package to a temporary directory: pkgutil --expand '/Volumes/Office 2016 VL/Microsoft_Office_2016_Volume_Installer.pkg' /tmp/office2016 The com.microsoft.pkg.licensing package installs a LaunchDaemon and PrivilegedHelperTool, which provides infrastructure necessary to allow an application to perform the license activation without needing to ask for administrative privileges. This allows the licensing to be performed by any user on the system, and to store an “activation status” in a location that would normally required admin or root privileges.
