Microsoft Office are Office Home & Business and Office Home & Student. While the two are marketed for different purposes, both have huge similarities in terms of the applications and services included in the packages. Both are only one-time purchases for one PC or Mac—meaning that once the next version of the applications are released, you’ll have to buy again for that version. Both bundles have an included Microsoft support for 60 days at no extra cost. Both are also licensed for home use, although Home & Business is also licensed for commercial use. Both have the classic versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, as well, but Home & Business has the extra application Outlook on its package.

Both are great and affordable for the features included, however, setup.office.com has offered a better deal for its Office suite. The cloud-based Office 365 allows you to buy either a monthly or annual subscription of its plans. Not only will you get the classic Office applications and the Microsoft support, but you will also have Access and Publisher among your apps, a complimentary 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage, and your applications will always be updated to the latest version during the entirety of your subscription.

Follow the instructions for the operating system you'll be using.

Windows Download and Installation Instructions for Office 2019

Beginning with setup.office.com, all Office products for Windows that are available through Volume Licensing use Click-to-Run technology instead of the traditional Windows Installer technology. To deploy volume licensed versions of Office 2019 products for users in your organization, you'll use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).

You'll need a broadband Internet connection with download speeds of at least 20 Mbps to download Office 2019 products. Note that Office 2019 products require Windows 10 and will not run on older versions of Windows.

Step One: Register and Accept Your Software Agreement

If you haven't already, register and accept your software license agreement for the setup.office.com you requested by completing only steps one and two in our VLSC quick-start guide.

Step Two: Get Your Office 2019 Product Key

1. Sign in.
2. Select the Downloads and Keys tab.
3. Find your Office 2019 product in the list and click its Key link.
4. In the table beneath the name of the product, find your product key in the column labeled Key. The Type column for this key should say MAK, not KMS.
   • Office suites have separate setup keys for online functionality like web apps. These keys are not the same as the MAK product keys and cannot be used for volume activation of desktop products.
5. Copy the product's individual key from this table and paste it into a program like Notepad or click Export all keys: CSV just above the list of products to download a list of keys in comma-separated-values format (which can be opened with Excel).

Step Three: Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT)

1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft.
2. When the download is finished, open it, check the box to accept the Microsoft license terms, and click Continue.
3. You will be asked to choose a folder to store the extracted setup files. Navigate to the root level of your computer's hard drive (C:) and click Make New Folder. Then, name the folder "OfficeSetup" and continue with the extraction process. Note that these instructions won't work if you choose a different folder name or location.
4. When you are finished, your new "OfficeSetup" folder should have a file named "setup" and some sample "configuration" files. Delete the configuration files. You only need to keep the setup file.

Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration File

Download the configuration file that you need from the table below by right-clicking the link for the file you need, selecting Save link as…, and saving the file to the "setup.office.com" folder you created. Don't download more than one of these files to that folder at a time. If you need to install more than one type of Office product, you'll have the opportunity to do so later.

Next, follow the instructions below to add the product key that you obtained. step two to the configuration file.

1. Right-click the configuration file and select Edit to open the file in Notepad.
2. Look for the following string of text in the configuration file:
   • PIDKEY="#####-#####-#####-#####-#####"
     
3. In this string, replace #####-#####-#####-#####-##### with your MAK client activation key by copying and pasting the key from wherever you saved it. You should leave the quotation marks before and after the key.
4. Save the file and close it.
5. Then, right-click the configuration file, select Rename, and change the filename to be "configuration".
   • If the configuration file you downloaded has a name that ends with ".xml", that means your installation of Windows has been set to display file extensions. If this is the case, make sure to keep ".xml" in your filename by renaming it as "configuration.xml" instead of "configuration".

If you need additional customization for your deployment and have IT experience, you can use Microsoft's Office Customization Tool to create your own configuration files.

Step Five: Download and Install Your Product

Note that all earlier versions of Office will be uninstalled when you install Office 2019 products, so be sure to save and quit any Office applications that are running.

1. Navigate to your "OfficeSetup" folder in File Explorer.
2. You'll need to perform the next steps using the Command Prompt, which is a text-based command-line interface that runs within Windows.
   To open the Command Prompt
   1. Click the address bar in the File Explorer window that you opened.
      
   2. With the address bar selected, type cmd and press Enter.
      
3. Type the following into the Command Prompt that you opened.
   • setup /download configuration.xml
     
   It will look as if nothing is happening, but your product will be downloading in the background. The download will be a large file and might take a while to finish. Once the download is complete, you will be returned to the Command Prompt.
4. When the download has finished, you're ready to install the product. Type the following into the Command Prompt.
   • setup /configure configuration.xml
   If you see an error that says you still have previous versions of Office installed on your computer, you'll need to manually uninstall those programs and type the above command again.
5. When your installation is complete, you'll be returned to the Command Prompt. Close the Command Prompt and return to the desktop. Your Office 2019 product will be installed and ready to use.
6. If you need to install a different Office product, delete the "configuration.xml" file from the "OfficeSetup" folder and follow these instructions again beginning at Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration File.
