Install Mac Office 2019

broken image


I transferred all files from my old Mac Air including Office 2011. I purchased Office 2019 and installed it this morning. The download and install appeared to go ok, but I cannot activate it with the Office 2019 activtion code. I think it is trying to activate the old version of Office - not sure but the name Office 2011 does appear. Commercial and consumer customers can now purchase Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows and Mac. Office 2019 is the next perpetual release of Office. It includes significant improvements over Microsoft Office 2016 and earlier versions of on-premises Office. To download and install Office 2019, see Download and install or reinstall Microsoft 365.

Learn the new process for obtaining Microsoft Office 2019 products

With Office 2019, Microsoft has changed the way Volume Licensing customers can download and install all Office suites and individual applications, including Visio and Project. Unlike previous editions of Office that were obtained through Volume Licensing, Office 2019 products can't be downloaded directly through the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

Follow the instructions for the operating system you'll be using.

Windows Download and Installation Instructions for Office 2019

Beginning with Office 2019, all Office products for Windows that are available through Volume Licensing use Click-to-Run technology instead of the traditional Windows Installer technology. To deploy volume licensed versions of Office 2019 products for users in your organization, you'll use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).

You'll need a broadband Internet connection with download speeds of at least 20 Mbps to download Office 2019 products. Note that Office 2019 products require Windows 10 and will not run on older versions of Windows.

Step One: Register at the VLSC and Accept Your Software Agreement

If you haven't already, register at the VLSC and accept your software license agreement for the Office 2019 products you requested by completing only steps one and two in TechSoup's VLSC quick-start guide.

Step Two: Get Your Office 2019 Product Key from the VLSC

  1. Sign in to the VLSC.
  2. Select the Downloads and Keys tab.
  3. Find your Office 2019 product in the list and click its Key link.
  4. In the table beneath the name of the product, find your product key in the column labeled Key. The Type column for this key should say MAK, not KMS.
    • Office suites have separate setup keys for online functionality like web apps. These keys are not the same as the MAK product keys and cannot be used for volume activation of desktop products.
  5. Copy the product's individual key from this table and paste it into a program like Notepad or click Export all keys: CSV just abovethe list of products to download a list of keys in comma-separated-values format (which can be opened with Excel). This list contains all Volume Licensekeys associated with agreements in your VLSC profile.

Step Three: Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT)

  1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft.
  2. When the download is finished, open it and follow the instructions to extract its contents to a folder of your choice.
  3. You will be asked to choose a folder to store the extracted setup files. Navigate to the root level of your computer's hard drive (C:) and click Make New Folder. Then, name the folder 'OfficeSetup' and continue with the extraction process. Note that these instructions won't work if you choose a different folder name or location.

4.When you are finished, your new 'OfficeSetup' folder should have a file named 'setup.exe' and some sample 'configuration' files that end in .xml. Delete the .xml files. You only need to keep the 'setup.exe' file.

Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration Files

Download the configuration files that you need from the table below by right-clicking the link for the file you need, selecting Save link as.., and saving the file to the 'Office setup files' folder you created. Don't download more tghan once of these files to that folder at a time. If you need to install more than one type of Office product, you'll have the opprtunity to do so later.

  1. Right-click the configuration file and select Edit to open the file in Notepad.
  2. Look for the following string of text in the configuration file:
    • PIDKEY='#####-#####-#####-#####-#####'
  3. In this string, replace #####-#####-#####-#####-##### with your MAK client activation key by copying and pasting the key from wherever you saved it. You should leave the quotation marks before and after the key.
  4. Save the file and close it.
  5. Then, right-click the configuration file, select Rename, and change the filename to be 'configuration.xml'.

If you requested more than one type of Office product, you'll need to edit the configuration file and add a different key for each product that you received a license for.

Before beginning this process you should save any Microsoft Office documents you are working on, and close all components of the Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

STEP 1) Sign in to Office 365 at http://office.uoregon.edu using your full UO email address and password.

After you have signed in you should see one of the following screens:

Screen A (below). It's distinguishing feature is a bright orange Install now button. If you see a screen like Screen A, please follow the steps indicated in STEP 1 A below.

Screen B (below). You will see a screen similar to the one below after you have logged in to your Office 365 account more than one time. If you see a screen like Screen B, please follow the steps beginning with STEP 1 B below.

STEP 1 A: Press the Install Now button to start the download. Note that the download may take a while to complete, as the installer file is large. When the installer file fully downloads, skip to Step 2.

Above, are two other ways to access the Downloads folder. For some, a shortcut may already exist on the dock, indicated by a yellow circle above. It may appear as a stack or as a folder, but should say Downloads when you hover over it. If it is not on your dock you can search for it using Spotlight (shortcut – Command + Spacebar). The Spotlight button is circled in light blue above. Click the magnifying glass and type in 'downloads'. Once inside, the most recent file should be the download for Office 2016.

Click Continue again after looking through the Software License Agreement.

To move forward you will need to Agree to the license agreement, by clicking the Agree button.

Select the destination for the install. Typically this will be titled Macintosh. Click Continue to proceed.

STEP 4) Press Install to begin.

You will need to enter an administrative name and password to allow the installation.
