Office 2021 Professional Plus Volume LTSC Mak License For windows

Deploy Office Long Term Service Channel (LTSC) 2021
 

Follow these basic steps for deploying Office LTSC 2021:

• Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center
• Create the configuration.xml file
• Download the Office LTSC 2021 installation files (optional, if not installing directly from the Office CDN)
• Install Office LTSC 2021 by using the Office Deployment Tool

Regardless of how you choose to deploy Office LTSC 2021, you should remove existing versions of Office before installing Office LTSC 2021.

Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center

The Office Deployment Tool (ODT) is available for free from the Microsoft Download Center. Always download and use the latest version of the ODT.

After downloading the Office Deployment Tool, double-click the officedeploymenttool executable (.exe) file to extract the ODT files. The extracted files include setup.exe and a sample configuration.xml.

The setup.exe file is the ODT and is a command-line tool. The configuration.xml file is a sample that helps you get started. Use the configuration.xml file to specify settings for the ODT when downloading or installing Office. This file is a simple XML file that can be created and edited in any text editor, such as Notepad. You can name the file anything you prefer, as long as it retains the .xml file extension.

For an Office LTSC 2021-specific sample, see Sample configuration.xml file to use with the Office Deployment Tool.

Create the configuration.xml file

After you have a copy of the ODT, create a configuration.xml file. You can create multiple configuration.xml files to use with the ODT. For example, you can create a configuration.xml file to download and install the 64-bit version of Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 in English. Then, you can create a different configuration.xml file to install the 32-bit version of Visio LTSC Professional 2021 in French. When you run the ODT from an elevated command prompt, you specify which configuration.xml file to use.

There are several settings in the configuration.xml file that you configure to customize the Office LTSC 2021 download or installation. The following table lists the most common settings to configure in the configuration.xml file.

Sample configuration.xml file to use with the Office Deployment Tool

The following sample configuration.xml file can be used to either download or install the 64-bit version of Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 in English using a shared folder on your local network and activate by using MAK. If you use this configuration.xml to install Office LTSC 2021, previous Windows Installer (MSI) versions of Office are removed as part of the installation process. Even though the configuration.xml file doesn't specify it, updates are automatically enabled and come directly from the Office CDN, because those settings are the default.

Remove existing versions of Office before installing Office LTSC 2021

We recommend that you uninstall any previous versions of Office before installing Office LTSC 2021. To help you uninstall versions of Office that use Windows Installer (MSI) as the installation technology, you can use the ODT and specify the RemoveMSI element in your configuration.xml file.

There are several ways to use the RemoveMSI element when installing Office LTSC 2021:

• Uninstall all Office products on the device.
• Identify any existing language resources, like language packs, and install the same languages.
• Keep some Office products and uninstall all other Office products on the device.

RemoveMSI can uninstall 2007, 2010, 2013, or 2016 versions of Office, Visio, or Project that were installed using Windows Installer (MSI).

For more information about using RemoveMSI, see Remove existing MSI versions of Office when upgrading to Microsoft 365 Apps. Even though that article is about Microsoft 365 Apps, most of the information also applies to Office LTSC 2021.

To uninstall 2019 versions of Office, Visio, or Project from the device, use the Remove element. Use the Remove element because 2019 versions of Office, Visio, and Project are installed by using Click-to-Run, not Windows Installer (MSI).

Download the Office LTSC 2021 installation files

After you have a copy of the ODT and created your configuration.xml file, download the Office LTSC 2021 installation files to your local network. To do that, open an elevated command prompt, go to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and type this command:

If you've saved the configuration.xml file with a different name, use that name in the command.

The download happens in the background. Once the download completes, you return to a command prompt.

To verify the files are downloading, go to the location you specified for your SourcePath in the configuration.xml file. You should see a folder named "Office" with a subfolder named "Data." Under Data, there's also a subfolder named with the version number of the download. For example, 16.0.14332.20481. The files you see and their names depend on whether you're downloading the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office and which languages you're downloading.

Here are some other details about downloading Office LTSC 2021 installation files:

• You must download the 32-bit and 64-bit versions separately.
• All volume licensed Office products are included in the same download, regardless of which products you specify in the configuration.xml file. For example, if you download Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021, the download also includes Visio LTSC Professional 2021 and Project Professional 2021. Including all products in the download helps you save disk space on your local network. The core files for these products are in the stream.x86.x-none.dat or stream.x64.x-none.dat file, depending if it's the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office.

Install Office LTSC 2021 by using the Office Deployment Tool

After you have a copy of the ODT and created your configuration.xml file (and downloaded the Office LTSC 2021 installation files to your local network, if necessary), install Office LTSC 2021. To do that, open an elevated command prompt, go to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and type the following command:

If you've saved the configuration.xml file with a different name, use that name in the command.

Once the installation completes, you return to a command prompt, and you can open the Office LTSC 2021 programs you've installed.
