Microsoft released a new version (16.17.x) of Office 2019 for Mac.
You are still required to have a Office 365 subscription in order to enable full features.
However, you can download my VL patch to avoid the requirement of Office 365 subscription.
Update 9 @ 2018.09.26
Support Office 2019 for Mac now.
Update 8 @ 2016.09.13 15.26.0 released
This is a stable release.
Update 7 @ 2016.07.03 Insider Fast Channel Update – Office for Mac 15.25.0 (64bit)
Microsoft released a new 64bit version of Office for Mac to Office Insiders. Note that this is not an official stable version.
Update 6 @ 2016.04.07 Alternative MSO Download Site
In addition to download the latest release of Microsoft Office for Mac on this post, Farrukh recommended a very nice website where you can download Microsoft Office for Mac, including all legacy versions and Microsoft AutoUpdate.app (MAU).
Update 5 @ 2016.01.06 Excel Installation Issues
Some of you may experience Excel installation/crash issues, please have a look at Sophia‘s comment at here.
Update 4 @ 2015.12.12 New Office Updates
As Microsoft released a new version of Office for Mac, you can use either the integrated Microsoft AutoUpdate.app or the following direct links from Microsoft to get this update.
In addition, for those who want to get the auto update feature back, please download and install the latest AutoUpdate 3.3.0 (as shown below).
Update 3 @ 2015.12.01 IMPORTANT NOTICE
As some people reported that the file cannot be unzipped or cannot be downloaded properly, I have added a MEGA mirror.
I am currently working on a new version to improve the user experience and add some new functions. Thanks for following. : )
Also FYI, you can feel free to update to the latest version of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. The activation will still be working.
Update 2 @ 2015.09.19 IMPORTANT NOTICE
For those who have previously installed Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac 15.13.x and “activated” it via creating a certificate and patching the MicrosoftSetupUI.framework, please COMPLETELY REMOVE your previous Microsoft Office.
You have to delete every Microsoft Office component installed in /Applications folder BEFORE installing the new version and applying the VL activation. (Delete Microsoft Word.app, Microsoft Excel.app, Microsoft Powerpoint.app, Microsoft Outlook.app, etc.)

>> Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac VL Utility V2.0
Download and mount the disk image file. 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:
FWMSO2019VLU2.0+ (10705 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.
Once you activate your copy successfully, you no longer need this utility unless you reinstall your system.
How to use:
Extremely simple. Click the Lock icon to activate your Office 2016 for Mac with VL license.
For your convenience, this new utility will display your currently installed Office version and VL license status.

To all the guys that are having problem downloading the Office Volume Patcher. Open your terminal, and hit the command below.. you will have to do it a few a times until the file downloads completely. the server somehow is resetting the connection every amount of seconds or something.. when the curl stops, u will see the remaining bytes.. so.. just hit it up again.. until the file download completes.. . in curl the -C is for RESUME TRANSFER 😉

Hi. I uninstalled previous versions of Microsoft Office and installed Version 15.14 as linked above. Patch Worked perfectly, except for windows. Followed tutorial on how to uninstall Office completely, yet after reinstalling, and running the patch, it doesn’t work on any application no more. Is there anyway I could uninstall this patch as well then reinstall it? It’s automatically initially unlocked each time though office apps still ask me to login. Thanks!

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.

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.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

I’ve wiped and downloaded the updated powerpoint 2016 (the .21 version) for Mac, wiped the V2.plist file and regenerated with VL, but I still don’t have morph transitions, which are the only reason I want to update from 2011.
Has anyone been able to get morph to work this way?
-

I set up a one month trial Office 365 subscription and verified that Powerpoint morph worked. Then ran the crack and morph disappeared.
So this seems to be a real limitation at the moment.

The activation work from which version?
-
Unknown
Unknown
Thanks a lot! Just downloaded Microsoft Office 15.22.0 and used the VL package, which says everything has been activated. The only issue I have is I am being asked to sign in to Office 365 still by entering an e-mail address. My understanding was that the VL package should have bypassed signing in. Should I uninstall and reinstall an older version or does it matter what sign in I use? Thanks!
-
Unknown
Unknown
HI,
Indeed, that works fine BUT as soon as I install some extended styles (for “references”), word crashes down and when it restarts, it asks me for activation… So I reactivate but the same happens… The only way is to remove the extra styles I added. The problem is that I need them.
Do you have any trick to fix this issue ?
Thanks !

Hi FireWolf, I just want to say you are so awesome..THANKS! After installing each separately and running VL afterward each time to make sure they were unlocking..they were. I then waited til the very end to open each officially. To my surprise, they all prompted me to sign in but I didn’t. Came back here and read that I needed to open back up VL and reactivate. Did that and now everything works. The sign-in was still there but on the very bottom gave me the option to skip sign-in.

Hi Patty,
I am encountering the same problem you had earlier. Would you please advise what is the back-up VL and where can i download it and reactivate it ?
Thanks a million !
-

Noble, what you have to do is open VL again and click the lock icon and force it to reactivate again. After that, open word, excel.. and you’ll see on the bottom to skip sign-in.

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?

Need help. I read the entire thread, and I’ve tried so many different variations but I am not able to activate Office apps.
1) In the beginning. I’d installed Office suite 15.36.0 (mac| 10.11.6 El Capitan). I installed the suite. Didn’t run the VL utility. Logged into one of the accounts; didn’t find the licenses. Then, ran the utility. It shows ‘green’ in the app, but the Excel (and others) are not activated. I ‘re-activated’ it multiple times. Not working.
2) I uninstalled completely multiple times (full), and tried running the utility first without logging into account. It didn’t work. Every time it asks me to login into one of the accounts.
3) After multiple attempts, I tried installing only “Excel” first (15.17). Again the same issue (link for images given below.

http://imgur.com/a/2ldobBackground info:
a. I’ve a secondary hard-drive (installed inplace of optical drive) which has Office 2011. It’s has OS X Lion installed. I am not sure if it can interfere with the Main Drive.b. This was the my first attempt to install Office application in this OSX copy. I haven’t used any other patch/ serial earlier.
What can be a way forward?

Hi FireWolf,
I downloaded Office for Mac 15.36.0 which is the latest official release from Microsoft. I tested the app without activating first and Microsoft Auto Update was working fine but when I applied your patch it activated office successfully but Auto Update stopped working and crashed every time I tried to update office from within the app. I believe your patch replaced the installed auto update and rolls it back to a previous version. Is there a way to modify your package and replace the Auto update app inside Contents/Resources/Essentials with the newest version as of today which is auto update 3.9.1?
Thanks !
Cris

Or alternatively, disable your patch to install its auto update version at all and leave the default one installed by Office?

It is not working with version 16.17.0 anymore, for obvious reasons, because that’s Microsoft Office 2019.
The last MSO 2016 version is still working (v16.16.2). So we need a new volume license for MSO 2019. 🙂

Microsoft Office 2019 Volume License has been made available today. Works with 16.27.0 updates/installers. FWMSO2016VL continues to work if you exchange the old files in the ./Contents/Resources/Essentials directory in the app bundle with the new files (2019 VL helper + plist, Autoupdate, SetupAssistant). So it really only needs a quick 2016-to-2019 update.

Hi,
thank you for your work! I’d like to tell you a few things:
1. the unzipped file shows as “broken” if the unzipping process is performed in an APFS formatted drive. It seems working OK in a OX Extended formatted drive.
2. I tried to apply the unzipped VL 2.0+ on a fresh installation of MacOS 10.13.6 (APFS): a) from MSO 16.17 installer package VL 2.0+ seems to work, but the “Ignore” button doesn’t show and MSO asks for licence activation b) from MSO 15.13.3 installer package. VL 2.0+ works, but after upgrading manually to 16.17 MSO asks again for licence activation.
Hoping this useful for you.
Thank you again!

The previous activation does not work with 16.17. Office 16.17 needs to be activated using FWMSO2019VLU2.0+ and my disk is APFS formatted, so that isn’t the problem. I was able to download and open it without it being damaged. I posted a link to a download that should work no matter what.

Hi,
tried everything but there’s no way to get the Skip sign in button.
I’ve just downloaded and installed the MS Office 2019 suite from this web page and then also downloaded FWMSO2019VL from this web page also and finally executed from the terminal as the notes says to. I’ve been always unable to get the skip sign in button so I’ve tried fully uninstalling MS Office, downloading and installing the MS Office 2016 and running FWMSO2016VL but could never get it patched don’t know why. SO finally I installed Mac OS X on an external SSD Drive, downloaded again the MS Office 2019 from here, executed FWMSO2019VL from the terminal and finally got it working. So I wiped out the external SSD Drive, also erased my MacBook Air internal hard drive and reinstalled Mac OS X Mojave and after installing MS Office 2019 and running FWMSO2019VL from the terminal I could never get the Skip sign in button again, so I installed Mac OS X Mojave again to my external SSD drive, installed MS Office 2019 and patched it running FWMSO2019VL from the console but I could never get the Skip sign in button again.
To me it looks like FWMSO2019VL is not able to patch/modify my MS Office 2019/2016 install. Really strange, sometimes I wonder if there any type of hidden files in the drive (in the boot sector or wherever) so MS Office 2019 knows I should Sign in and thus Skip sign in button does not show. I don’t really know what to do.
Hope someone can help. I’ve never reversed engineered anything nor coded patches or Mac OS X apps but I’m a computer engineer with strong computer and web applications coding skills so if you were so kind to give me some hints or steps on what to do I could try to debug what’s going on.
Hope you can help me FireWolf.
Thanks a lot for your nice work 🙂

Same issues with both the Microsoft Office 2019 VL Serializer and FWMSO2019VLU2.0.
Will not generate the necessary com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist preference file on a 2015 MacBook Pro running High Sierra with an SSD drive (APFS). This was doing a clean install removing every trace of the old Office 2016 installation. Multiple attempts. Same result after doing a recovery mode fresh install of High Sierra on the MacBook.I did a new install of High Sierra on an external hard drive (HFS), booted from it, and installed Office 2019 without any issues using the firewolf utility and was able to install on an iMac running High Sierra on a fusion drive (HFS)
So my take is that there’s an issue (at least on my system) with the volume license utilities with High Sierra and APFS drives. Curious if anyone has had success installing Office 2019 with High Sierra or Mojave on APFS drives. (no issues anywhere with Office 2016 and the original FWMS02016VL.

The popup says activated but it doesn’t actually go through. Have tried rebooting, repairing permissions with OnyX in various combos but haven’t been able to get that to work either.
Am going to try using AppCleaner to uninstall and try downloading MSO 16.17 directly from Microsoft and then use your activator to see if that works. Hints are welcome. (Also thank you for your previous VL2016.app!)

So got it to run (missed the terminal comment) BUT it still doesn’t work after repeated clicks to re-run the app, launching any Office app still prompts for sign in.

Hi !
Thank you so much for this utility !
Activation successfully performed since early December for MSO installed on a Mojave fresh install.
This new system is located on an external SSD connected to an iMac. Yesterday I put the SSD inside the -same- iMac in replacement of the original HD.
Today MSO is no longer activated and when I try to run the utility again, I get an error message
“Failed to activate VL license
An error occured during activating Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. Please restart your computer and try again.”
Any help will be very appreciated! Thank you! -

to anybody who has problems activating office under Mojave 14.xx- use the “FWMSO2019VL.app/Contents/MacOS/”-workaround with the FWMSO2019VLU2.0+
Downloadlink above.made a clean install, everything worked fine

Hi everybody, i just try this installation tomorrow morning, working fine.
Just think to right clic on FWMSO2019, show packet content, clic on MacOs and now you can drag the FWMSO2019 exec to the terminal, not drag directly the app.
In this case, all working good!
Many Thx FW !!!

If you have a developer certificate you can codesign the app and run it directly instead of having to take the trouble to go through terminal:
sudo codesign -s “3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Yours (XXXXXX)” -f ./FWMSO2019VL.app
then checking with
codesign -v -v ./FWMSO2019VL.app
spctl -a -vvv ./FWMSO2019VL.app
I have not tested whether you can do it with a selfsigned certificate-

In 10.15 Catalina things have become worse: now you MUST have signed all software otherwise it does not work.
Just do
sudo codesign -s “Developer ID Application: Yours (XXXXXX)” -f –deep ./FWMSO2019VL.app

感谢大神的分享,2019 版激活成功;有个小问题,我之前装的是2016大客户版不用激活的,然后我下载了您分享的2019版,需要激活,于是使用 VL 工具进行激活,运行后提示已经激活,可实际没激活,然后我就选择了再次激活,然后成功了,一点小瑕疵哈。

Wolf,
I have 2016 working perfectly but I find your instructions difficult to follow for the 2019 update. I tried opening it in the terminal but it doesn’t work.

It’s not working anymore with macOS Catalina. Tried dropping the app to the terminal window and a pop-up say that the app is broken.

everything works unless the microsoft outlook came up with “You’ll need the latest version of outlook to use this database”.
is that means the installer not up to date?

I have tried the VL app FWMSO2019VLU2.0+ every which way with the Office 16.17 downloaded here and it never works. I have removed all old Office versions (I had 2011 before). It does the same thing every time:
1. I open it in Terminal
2. It says the office version is 16.17 and the VL license is activated
3. I click the lock, put in the admin password.
4. Asks if I want to reactivate. yes.
5. All done, open Word and Word says I have to login to MS to activate.I have tried removing all vestiges of office from my mac. No effect.
I have Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
Simply does not work. -

Hello,
I placed question here yesterday and it has disappeared…..
It was a question about why the FWMSO2019VLU2.0+ has not worked with my Office 16.17, despite following all instructions.

Thank you soooooo much! It works like a charm!
Excel en Powerpoint both asked for a Password of the Keyhanger (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) and I just re-entered the Password I used in the Terminal app, clicked the “Allow Always” button and it worked. I’m very very very grateful

您好,一直关注您的VL Utility,刚刚下载试用了一下,能够激活,但是出现一个问题,打开一个文件5分钟左右会崩溃,提示错误报告,然后重新打开文件会发现激活失效,提示需要激活才能使用功能,不知道是Office问题还是激活的问题.Office版本为最新版本,官网直链下载的,特此报告,感谢您的付出!
