Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
For a work or school Microsoft 365 license, the supported download path is the account portal rather than a direct version-specific .pkg link.
For Mac:
- Sign in to the Microsoft 365 portal for the work or school account.
- Download the installer from the install page.
- After the download completes, open Finder > Downloads and double-click the installer package.
- If the installer does not open, try Safari, move the
.pkgfile to the desktop, and open it again. - If macOS shows an unidentified developer warning, wait 10 seconds, then Control-click the file and select Open.
If the goal is specifically to install an older build because the 2015 Mac cannot run the current release, the available context does not provide an official direct link for Microsoft_Office_16.86.24060916_Installer.pkg for work-license installation.
If the Mac is on the 21Vianet-operated service, the documented path is: Settings > Office 365 Settings > Software > Install Office 2016 for Mac.
After installation, the apps are usually found in:
- Launchpad
- Finder > Applications > Microsoft
