Offline Office Installation and Activation - Microsoft Q&A (2024)

Hi @Moran, Susan

> Is it possible to install and activate Office products on a network that has no internet access?

For Office 2019, whether it is a volume licensed version or a retail version, if you want to install Office from your local network, you must have a computer with Internet access, then download the installation package from the CDN.
And then place the installation package in a shared folder on the intranet, you can install Office from this source path.

For activation:

  • If the Office 2019 is one of Volume licensed versions, such as Office Professional Plus, Office Standard, you can use MAK activation with phone via steps below.
    Run ospp.vbs /dinstid in command prompt to get the Installation ID of Office.
    Run slui 4 in Windows Run dialog to get phone number of Microsoft Product Activation Center, call the phone number and give the Installation ID to get the Confirmation ID.
    Run ospp.vbs /actcid:<value> to enter the Confirmation ID.
  • If the Office 2019 is one of retail versions, such as Office Home & Business, do you have a key? You can also try phone activation via using the Activation wizard or the steps above.

> We tried phone activation with Office 2019 but then was told that the system needs to be signed in with a new user in order to activate.

Did you call the Microsoft Product Activation Center, provide the installation ID, and get a confirmation ID to activate Office?
Or did you contact Microsoft supporters directly to activate the Office?

Besides, have you been reminded what type of account is required to sign in from the phone?
Is the account you sign into Windows an Administrator Account?
To activate Office, it's recommended to use Administrator Account.

Any updates, welcome to post back.
