Contents • • • • • What’s Changing? When you download the.iso from VLSC you’ll notice two packages within it: The change is the new second pkg: “Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkg” What’s that about?

If user tries to open Microsoft Office file which is already opened by another user, there is a message Filename is locked for. Microsoft-office cifs asked Nov 21 '18 at 9:09. Sep 25, 2017 - Your first option is to buy a copy of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. Each of these are only valid for one user on one Mac; so, if you have more than one. To also work on a Windows PC, you won't be able to install the software. To using PowerPoint, the different features may take some learning, but all of.

Well, for a while now it’s been fairly common practice to deploy the Office license to Macs outside of the Office installers or updates. This came about as on occasion an However, whilst the deletion itself was a bug, the ability to use the license.plist across Macs was also a bug. What is it & should I use it? With Office 2016, Microsoft are moving to a device based serialisation method.

Which means that deploying the plist /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingv2.plist will no longer work. This device based serialisation is based around the generating a license on the Mac that is to be running Office 2016. So if you employ monolithic imaging or deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot etc, the serialisation will not work. (Please don’t deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot, use the pkg). Also, if you install Office 2016 whilst booted to another volume (as in when installing via a NetBoot or NetInstall volume or something like Target Mode Imaging), again the serialisation will not work.

To install Office 2016 from another volume & have the serialisation work, cache it locally on the Mac being imaged & install on first boot or if using Casper Imaging check “Install on boot drive after Imaging” for the PKG from within Casper Admin. However, to enable Office 2016 to be correctly licensed in the multitude of deployment scenarios that we mac admins employ, @pbowden & his team have created the “Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkg” Running this will correctly serialise the Office 2016 suite, & should be run from the Mac that’s running the suite. So again, can be added post imaging & then the suite will be correctly serialised. To be clear, this will only affect you if using the Volume Licensed version of Office 2016 & not the Office365 version. What happens if I carry on copying the licensing.plist?

For now, not much. 15.17 is the first release with the “Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkg”, from 15.20 (scheduled for Q1 2016) you will have to use the correct license. How did people find this out? Well a little over a month ago a gentleman with the nick @pbowden hopped into the #microsoft-office channel on the, this was awesome as @pbowden is a: Software engineer for Office for Mac/iOS at Microsoft, a fellow Brit & nice guy.

It’s been a great few weeks with the community sharing feedback with @pbowden & some of us being able to test pre-release installers for Office. I hope this warning has been as helpful to you, as it was when @pbowden shared it with us.

Hi Macmule, I hope you are doing well. I am new to the Mac admin world and my company just started using Casper.

Now I am in the process of upgrading Microsoft office (from 2011 to 2016) for all our users about 260 clients. Before I start I am doing a lot of research so I can learn more about the Casper tools and hopefully chose the right option for this project. I am planning to just use the Self Service App to cache the Office 2016 installer on clients computers, after that I am still debating if it will be a good idea to have clients run the upgrade them selfs or just run it automatically for them. I read an article from Microsoft and they mentioned that if we run the pkg from the VLSC we don’t need to run VL Serializer. Has anyone tested this? If I install the Volume License edition of Office 2016 for Mac from the ISO downloaded from the VLSC, do I still need to run the VL Serializer?

The Volume License installer already has the functionality of the VL Serializer built-in. Link – I also read a few discussions in JAMF Nation and there were a few recommendations to remove Office 2011 first and the run the Office 2016 installer.

Do you guys know if this is still the case? Or this has been resolved with the latest version. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate all the information you share and any help you can provide. Thanks, gnoriega.
