Deployment options for the 64-bit update AutoUpdate (MAU)Ĭustomers who use Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) to keep their Office applications up-to-date will see a "regular" monthly update notification when their selected channel is upgraded to 64-bit builds. This affects customers of all license types: Retail, Microsoft 365 for home, Microsoft 365 for business, and Volume License installations. So today everything is about downloading the right PKG from Microsoft and there is no need to enter a key or activate by internet/phone? Has Microsoft completely given up in relation to software piracy? I guess not and think, that I totally misunderstood something decisive.Existing Office 2016 for Mac customers will be seamlessly upgraded to 64-bit versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote as part of the August product release (version 15.25). I worked in a company for years ago and witnessed Microsoft blocking legally purchased VL keys and providing new working spare VL keys to the company. But what is the purpose of my delivered product key and how is Microsoft checking this product key against the VL activation limit? I mean, in the past Microsoft did as much as they can to protect their VL activation against fraud. I also read in the Support Bulletin that all customers use the same Serializer and therefore share the same VL key.
What I don't understand is, that the company pointed out to install the Serializer first before installing office, but I read inside Apex Support Bulletin that the Serializer is only needed when I would have a pre-installed office on my computer (which I don't have!).
SHA256 (internet search for some hash variants did not yield reliable results), so I would like to know if I can just download a "well known" version of the VL Installer and use it the same way I would use the package distributed by the software selling company? My problem is that I can't verify the Volume Installer with e.g. In the past I bought Office 2008 & Office 2011 retail boxes, but these get no Updates anymore and the activation server got turned off, so I bought a Office 2016 Home & Business licence online and got a product key and a download link to a package containing Microsoft_Office_2016_VL_Serializer_2.0 + Microsoft_Office_2016_15.23.0_160611_Volume_Installer. I recently purchased a license/product key for MS Office 2016 Home & Business for Mac from a software selling company I had no business relation before.
