Note that Office2019 DO NOT support activate via simple copy/paste plist license file which is the simplest way to activate Office 2016. Hi, I provide IT support to a school that has a Select Plus Agreement for Office 2016. I was under the impression that this also covers Office for Mac 2016 too but am unable to get it to activate, I have installed the serializer and uninstalled and reinstalled both the Office suite and the serializer but still get the not activated alert and am unable to edit documents. Microsoft recently released a new software installer to help make the task of deploying updated copies of Office 2016 for Mac admins a lot easier. This new installer is available along with the latest Office 2016 volume license installer and is named MicrosoftOffice2016VLSerializer.pkg.
