Note that Office2019 DO NOT support activate via simple copy/paste plist license file which is the simplest way to activate Office 2016. Fortunately, you can also use the VL Serializer tool, just install Office 2019 and Serializer, then run Serializer to activate.
DO NOT RUN OFFICE APP AFTER INSTALLED, but just install Office 2019 for macOS, choose one of this
or install via brew:
brew cask install microsoft-office
manual download and install Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
in this gist (have tested to work with v16.27, but not work with >= v16.80)Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg
official linkrun Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer
and it will automatic activate Office 2019
open the office app, completed.
If you alaways been asked for 'Sign in' and still requires activation, please try to remove Office license files on a Mac. Here is the official download link for Microsoft_Office_License_Removal tool. (thanks for @lidroider's comment)
