  • Provide your users with the installer package file, and have them install Office for Mac for themselves

  • The essentials to get it all done. Office Home and Student 2019 is for students and families who want classic Office apps including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Windows 10. A one-time purchase installed on 1 PC or Mac for use at home or school. Office 365 is a subscription that comes with premium.
  • If you're renewing an Office 365 subscription with a new product key, use the same Microsoft account you previously associated with your expired version subscription.

  • Sheila Forgacs Replied on May 1, 2019 In reply to Palcouk's post on May 1, 2019 I figured it out, I had installed excel over a version that was restored from Time Machine and it wouldn't save, I thought I had to uninstall / reinstall, but I just had to activate.

Download Office for Mac to your local network

Here are the links to the installer packages for the Office suite, which contains all the applications:

  • Office for Mac (for Office 365 plans)
  • Office 2019 for Mac (for retail or volume licensed versions)
  • Office 2016 for Mac (for retail or volume licensed versions)

Note

  • Installer and update packages for individual applications are also available on the Office CDN. For links to those, see Most current packages for Office for Mac.
  • The same installer package is used for Office for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac. How you activate the product determines whether you get the features for Office for Mac or the features for Office 2019 for Mac.
  • Unlike Office 2016 for Mac, the installer package for Office 2019 for Mac isn't available on the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

Deploy Office for Mac to users in your organization

Office for Mac uses the Apple Installer technology for installation. That means you can use the software distribution tools that you normally use to deploy software to Mac users. Some of the most common tools are Jamf Pro, Munki, and AutoPkg. You can also use Apple Remote Desktop and AppleScript.

Important

There are changes in Office for Mac to improve security, including implementing Apple app sandboxing guidelines. These changes mean that you can't customize the app bundle before or after you deploy Office. Don't add, change, or remove files in an app bundle. For example, even if you don't need the French language resource files for Excel, don't delete them. This change prevents Excel from starting. Even though you can't customize app bundles, you can configure preferences for each app.

Relocate the Outlook Preferences and OfficeSync Prefs files to the Desktop. Try dragging the files back to the Preferences folder one by one and launch Outlook to isolate the problematic file. If the problem stopped, one of the files is causing it. Microsoft word keeps freezing on mac. Once you’ve found the culprit, drag it into the Trash.If the problem persists, go to Preferences - Microsoft - Office 2011.

If you need to go back to Office 2016 for Mac after you've upgraded, follow these steps.

  • Version numbers Version numbers of 16.17 or higher for retail or volume licensed installs indicate you have Office 2019 for Mac. Office 2016 for Mac has version numbers of 16.16 or lower.
