I have tried this but it won't work on my Mac Air M1 Sonoma 14.4. I have downloaded Office from here before but it stopped working. Then I reset my Office to get rid of any remaining data that could hinder downloading again.
Here's what I did:
First, I download both the Office and serializer. After that, I turn off my network connection and install Office first, then the serializer. Then I run Microsoft Word to check but it asks me to sign in. What steps did I do wrong?

Hi, I have successfully installed both the Office 2019 v16.27.0 and the Volume Licence on my MacOS Ventura. My Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote & Outlook are working well. Thank you.
Now my question: Is it ok to click on "Check for Updates"? Can this setup go for Office updates? Please advise. Thank you!

Guys, it works, you just need to know how this "hack" works, and also how to make sure the modifications work.

  1. use the license purger
  2. reinstall the license
  3. go to the /Library/Preferences
  4. look for the flle labled com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist
  5. Go into the plist with text editor, xcode, bbedit or w.e. and delete everything. past in the code from this file.

For some reason the license installer doesn't put the correct .plist info in and you end up not getting activated, but the original code from this file, which you can download, or just copy and past it in, works! 09-24-24

also, make sure your using the older Microsoft's version, idk if the newer version works with this. and boom, works, tested on sequia and works. also this is a arm build, so yea..

@tomwhite1288 Are you talking about com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist ? Also, what is the license purger?

make sure you have the older one installed, not the 2019 one, it didn't work on that one for me at lease. make sure you run the license installer or, open a terminal and type " touch /Llibrary/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist " now, open a file manager and go to that location, Library/Preferences/ and fund that file either you created or the one that was installed that is labeled : com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist. From this point you will either paste in the correct code configuration from which you can go to at the top of this form, look for the raw button for the /com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist section and just copy and past that into the license, save it and make sure microsoft apps are closed and restart them. Should work. good luck bud. you may be able to let me do it for you with team viewer, that simple you just install it and send me your link code, and I can do it from my end, well at lease try to help you. Atlease that way I'll know exactly what is going on.

@tomwhite1288

don't do the brew install, that installs the newest version guys. go back to the top after deleting the installation and make sure to download that older version, make sure you do no update it. This hack doesn't work for the newer version
