Thank you.

Note: For the people trying this in 2024 download the 16.27.0 version manually or from the below “Link to download”. Do not download the above originally mentioned Official Link - Office 2019 Volume License 16.27.0 because it wont work . Then, download the serializer and install. After installing serializer you are able to use MSoffice 2019 without any sign in and activation. Link to download: https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/MacAutoupdate/Microsoft_Office_16.27.19071500_Installer.pkg https://gist.github.com/zthxxx/9ddc171d00df98cbf8b4b0d8469ce90a/raw/Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg

it worked for powerpoint, excel etc but NOT for Word! And that's the app I need the most. is there any fix for it???
