Enjoy the classic Office Suite for Mac. It’s got some new features and enhancements and remains ahead of its competition.

Microsoft Office 2019 - Install on Mac Because Office 2019 is such a large program, it is recommended that you connect to the network using a wired Ethernet connection and disable your wireless connection before beginning this process in order to reduce the installation time. Double-click the MicrosoftOffice2019VLSerializer (.pkg file) to run the serializer. After the serializer finishes running, you will be asked if the file can be moved to the trash. Note: To activate your Office download, you must have a secure campus network connection or be connected via VPN if off-campus.

An updated productivity bundle

Create, edit and design with this new and improved suite from Microsoft, designed for Mac.

Shape your professional life with Microsoft Office’s Suite for Mac. They gave it some subtle tweaks, so it remains easy to use and accessible. You can rely on their package for all your personal and work-related needs.

Enrich your word-processing experience with Word. It’s got a fresh feel to it and is versatile for all uses. Keep yourself on track with Focus.

Over in the PowerPoint package, there’s a whole range of new or updated features. The signature options have improved as well. Get creative with your presentations and add in a zoom feature to move between slides. There’s support for Bluetooth pens so you can design and create projects seamlessly.

Outlook hasn’t had a grand makeover like the other programs in its family package. It continues to be a smart and efficient way of managing your inbox. View your emails, contacts, and calendar in one place.

Sync your contacts and emails to your calendar so that Outlook can fill in commitments for you. Similar to Word, there is a Focus option that delivers the most important emails to a dedicated inbox.

It’s important to note that Office 2019 isn’t bursting with new features. It has subtle changes and one or two upgraded services in each of its programs. This might prove disappointing to some users, but the software has remained loyal to its user base.

It also lacks an iCloud option, which many Mac users are accustomed to. This won’t prove much of an issue to anyone who wants to use the programs on a single computer.

Where can you run this program?

This software runs on any version of Windows and Linux, with this particular software only available on Mac. There are also versions available for Android, iOS and Windows tablets.

Is there a better alternative?

No, you won’t find a better suite for productivity programs. If the lack of cloud syncing bothers you, try Google’s bundle of software offering similar services.

Our take

Microsoft Office 2019 is an impressive program, encapsulating the best productivity tools for a variety of projects. It boasts a range of useful features but doesn’t overdo it with elaborate tools. It lacks cloud support but remains ahead of its competition with its smooth interface.

Should you download it?

Yes. This program is accessible, efficient, and simple to use. It offers thoughtful tools and services and is ideal for professional or home use.

2019

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).

If you've already requested an Office 2019 product through Charity Digital and received an email from the VLSC notifying you that your license agreement is ready to be accepted, you can use these instructions to obtain your product.

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 requireWindows 10and will not run on older versions of Windows.

2. Select theDownloads and Keystab.
3. Find your Office 2019 product in the list and click itsKeylink.
4. In the table beneath the name of the product, find your product key in the column labeledKey. TheTypecolumn 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 clickExport all keys: CSVjust above the 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 License keys associated with agreements in your VLSC profile.

2. When the download is finished, open it, check the box to accept the Microsoft license terms, and clickContinue.
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 clickMake 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' and some sample 'configuration' files. Delete the configuration files. You only need to keep the setup file.

Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration File

Download the configuration file that you need from the table below by right-clicking the link for the file you need, selectingSave link as…, and saving the file to the 'OfficeSetup' folder you created. Don't download more than one 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 opportunity to do so later.

Next, follow the instructions below to add the product key that you obtained from the VLSC in step two to the configuration file.

1. Right-click the configuration file and selectEditto 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, selectRename, and change the filename to be 'configuration'.
   • If the configuration file you downloaded has a name that ends with '.xml', that means your installation of Windows has been set to display file extensions. If this is the case, make sure to keep '.xml' in your filename by renaming it as 'configuration.xml' instead of 'configuration'.

If you need additional customization for your deployment and have IT experience, you can use Microsoft'sOffice Customization Toolto create your own configuration files.

Step Five: Download and Install Your Product
