The Volume Serializer (VL) is used to activate Office 2019 for Mac or Office 2016 for Mac as a volume licensed version. It's an approximately 4 mb package file that you run on a user's computer, either before or after you've installed Office.

Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus For Mac Download Introduction. Microsoft Office 2019 is a new version of Microsoft’s office suite, following Microsoft Office 2016. Office 2019 for the most part includes all the features that have been gradually added to Office 365 over the past three years.

Download the Volume License (VL) Serializer from the VLSC

To download the VL Serializer, do the following:

Sign in to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
Select the Download and Keys tab.
Depending on the version that you're deploying, search for 'Office 2019 for Mac Standard' or 'Office 2016 for Mac Standard.'
Select the Download link in the results panel.
Select the Continue button at the bottom of the window.
Select the icon (circle with download arrow) to download the VL Serializer .iso file.
Once the download is complete, mount the .iso file to extract the VL Serializer package file.

Make sure you have the correct VL serializer version for the version of Office that you're deploying to your users.

Version	File name
Office 2019 for Mac	Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
Office 2016 for Mac	Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkg

Then, deploy and run the VL Serializer package file on each computer that you want to activate Office as a volume licensed version.

Note

You can't use the VL Serializer for Office 2019 for Mac to activate a volume licensed version of Office 2016 for Mac.
Volume licensed versions of Office 2019 for Mac have version numbers of 16.17 or higher. Volume licensed versions of Office 2016 for Mac have version numbers of 16.16 or lower, such as 16.16.2 or 16.15.

Additional information about the VL Serializer

The volume license is located in the /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist directory.
The licensing plist generated by the VL Serializer contains data that's encrypted by using the serial number of the boot drive on the computer where it was generated. Upon each Office application launch, the plist is decrypted by using the current boot drive serial number as the decryption key. If the data cannot be decrypted (for example, boot drive serial number is different), Office will go into an unlicensed state without warning.
Because the license plist file is encrypted using information from the computer on which it's installed, you can't copy it to a different computer to activate Office on that computer.
There's a single VL Serializer package that contains a single key that's shared between all volume licensed customer installations.
The VL Serializer package contains a binary executable that's named 'Microsoft Office Setup Assistant.' It's this executable that actually activates the volume license.
If you install the volume licensed version of Office 2016 for Mac from the .iso file downloaded from the VLSC, you don't need to run the VL Serializer. That installer package already has the VL Serializer functionality built-in. But, we recommend that you always download and install the most current version that's available on the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. For more information, see Download Office for Mac to your local network.
The VL Serializer package is compatible with mobile device management (MDM) servers such as Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, or FileWave.

Here is some additional information about installer packages:

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.
