If I install the Volume License edition of OfficeР В РІР‚СњР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћ016 for Mac from the ISO downloaded from the VLSC, do I still need to run the VL Serializer? I read an article from Microsoft and they mentioned that if we run the pkg from the VLSC we donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t need to run VL Serializer.

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. 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. Now I am in the process of upgrading Microsoft office (from 2011 to 2016) for all our users about 260 clients. I am new to the Mac admin world and my company just started using Casper. I hope this warning has been as helpful to you, as it was when shared it with us. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s been a great few weeks with the community sharing feedback with & some of us being able to test pre-release installers for Office. Well a little over a month ago a gentleman with the nick into the #microsoft-office channel on the Slack, this was awesomeР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В as is a:Р В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Software engineer for Office for Mac/iOS at Microsoft, a fellow Brit & nice guy. What happens if I carry on copying the ist?Р В РІР‚СњР В Р вЂ№5.17 is the first release with theР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўMicrosoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkgР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™, from 15.20 (scheduled for Q1 2016) you will have to use the correct license. To be clear,Р В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В this will only affect you if using the Volume Licensed version of Office 2016 & not the Office365 version. So again, can be added post imaging & thenР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В the suite will be correctly serialised. Running this will correctly serialise the Office 2016 suite, & should be run from the Mac thatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s running the suite. However, to enable Office 2016 to be correctly licensed in the multitude of deployment scenarios that we mac admins employ, & his team have created theР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўMicrosoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkgР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ 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 checkР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўInstall on boot drive after ImagingР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ for the PKG from within Casper Admin. (Please donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›tР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot, use the pkg).Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›lso, 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 theР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В serialisation will not work. So if you employ monolithic imaging or deploy Office 2016 via a Composer snap shot etc, the serialisation will not work. This device based serialisation is based around the generating a license on the Mac that is to be running Office 2016. Which means that deploying the plistР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В /Library/Preferences/2.plist will no longer work. With Office 2016, Microsoft are moving to a device basedР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В serialisation method. However, whilst the deletion itself was a bug, the ability to use the ist across Macs was also a bug.

This came about as on occasion an Office Update or Installer would delete the file. Well, for a while now itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s been fairly common practice to deployР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В the Office license toР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Macs outside of the Office installers or updates. The change is the new second pkg:Р В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўMicrosoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer.pkgР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ WhatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s that about?
