Install Office Professional Plus, Standard, Project and Visio (2024, 2021, 2019)

Office Professional Plus and Office Standard as well as Project and Visio in versions 2024, 2021 and 2019 are not redeemed via a Microsoft account. The easiest way is to install them with the installation file whose download link you receive with your order. If you prefer to control the installation yourself, use Microsoft’s free Office Deployment Tool instead.

Prepare

• Remove older Office versions via Settings › Apps.
• All Office programs on one device must have the same architecture. Microsoft recommends 64 bit from 4 GB of RAM.

Option 1: installation file from your order (recommended)

1. Open the download link from your order email or your customer account and download the installation file (ISO).
2. Double-click the ISO file. Windows opens it as a separate drive.
3. Run Setup.exe in it and follow the installation.
4. Then open an Office program, for example Word. If Office asks for a product key, enter the key from your order. Office activates online.

If no prompt appears or activation fails, our support helps you – by email, with a callback appointment or via TeamViewer remote assistance (Help).

Option 2: Office Deployment Tool

1. Download the Office Deployment Tool

1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center.
2. Run the file and extract it to a folder, for example C:\ODT. It contains setup.exe and a sample configuration.xml.

2. Create the configuration

In the folder C:\ODT, create a text file configuration.xml with the following content (example for Office Professional Plus 2024, English, 64 bit). Replace the X with your product key.

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume" PIDKEY="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
  <RemoveMSI />
  <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>

The values for Product ID and Channel are fixed Microsoft identifiers. For other products, only change the product ID:

Product	2024	2021
Office Professional Plus	ProPlus2024Volume	ProPlus2021Volume
Office Standard	Standard2024Volume	Standard2021Volume
Project Professional	ProjectPro2024Volume	ProjectPro2021Volume
Project Standard	ProjectStd2024Volume	ProjectStd2021Volume
Visio Professional	VisioPro2024Volume	VisioPro2021Volume
Visio Standard	VisioStd2024Volume	VisioStd2021Volume

For 2021 the channel is PerpetualVL2021, for 2019 PerpetualVL2019. For version 2019, our support gives you the matching product ID. For another language, replace en-us with its language tag, for example fr-fr or de-de.

3. Install

1. Open the Command Prompt as administrator.
2. Change to the ODT folder: cd C:\ODT
3. Start the installation: setup /configure configuration.xml

The files are downloaded directly from Microsoft. When the Command Prompt is ready again, the installation is complete. With the product key entered, Office activates online.

Frequently asked questions

Can I redeem this version via office.com/setup? No. These editions are not stored in the Microsoft account; you install with the installation file from your order or with the Deployment Tool.

Need help with the installation? Our support sets up the installation with you via TeamViewer QuickSupport or creates the matching configuration.xml.
