Microsoft Office For Mac Serializer

Hi, I provide IT support to a school that has a Select Plus Agreement for Office 2016. I was under the impression that this also covers Office for Mac 2016 too but am unable to get it to activate, I have installed the serializer and uninstalled and reinstalled both the Office suite and the serializer but still get the not activated alert and am unable to edit documents.

Microsoft recently released a new software installer to help make the task of deploying updated copies of Office 2016 for Mac admins a lot easier. This new installer is available along with the latest Office 2016 volume license installer and is named MicrosoftOffice2016VLSerializer.pkg. This installer is designed to do the following. Microsoft Office is the latest version of Microsoft Office which succeeds in Microsoft Office 2013. Microsoft Office 2016 Product Key is the key that will provide you to work with Office 2016 professional plus. If you are using Office 365, you can easily upgrade to Office 2016 using MS Office 2016 Product Key. Download and install Microsoft Office 2019 VL Serializer – official link, or from GitHub. Run the Microsoft Office 2019 VL Serializer and it will automatically activate MS Office 2019.

Both Office 2016 and Office 2019 for Mac are available for installation and updating via Jamf Pro. The default for DEP imaged machines and EPM's third-party patching system is still 2016, but you are free to install or upgrade to 2019 with the instructions below.

Version numbering and names

Microsoft's application versions for 2016 and 2019 are very similar, so it's important to verify that you are installing the correct version. Age of empires 2 definitive edition forum deutsch. Version numbers up through 16.16.x are Office 2016, while 16.17 and higher are Office 2019. The licensing for these two are mutually exclusive, so be sure to install the matching serializer and application packages. See below for the two sets of packages.

Note that Microsoft's naming scheme for packages has also changed to use underscores instead of spaces for the 2019 packaging. This naming scheme is reflected in our Jamf Pro package names, which means that 2019 packages will appear separately from 2016 packages when sorting them by name.

Deploying the latest Office 2016 with EPM's custom triggers.

You can install the entire Office 2016 suite in one step by calling the epm-thirdparty-office trigger. You can do this either manually on a computer from Terminal by entering `sudo jamf policy -event epm-thirdparty-office` or execute it via Jamf policy by entering that same command into 'Execute Command' field under the 'File and Processes' payload.
