Hi guys! Trying to get Office running on a Mac…How does one get it activated on Mac? On windows it has become so effortless, but I wonder if there’s a similar KMS method on Mac?
Thanks!
@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee and @JeyNessuno@lemmy.dbzer0.com register on MacBB and search for Office 2021 it will provide you with everything you need.
It boils down to downloading Office from Microsoft itself and using a Volume serializer (also provided by MS to big companies) that will add a valid and permanently activated license to Office and updates work without issues as all. Microsoft doesn’t care much about Office for Mac piracy there isn’t a KSM protection and licensing scheme like under Windows.
Bah, download Office for Mac directly from Microsoft. Here’s a link directly to the VolumeLicence.pkg to patch it and here is the VirusTotal report for that file.
Everything you need is here,

Just download the latest version with its volume serializer and you are good to go.
As far as I know, the authentication and activation is done via your 365/microsoft account if you have one.
There are others to do it. https://lemmy.world/comment/7193712
