Upgrade mac office 2016 to 20199/9/2023 These versions can be installed right over existing Office installs, can be used in patch management, or can be used as a fresh install. This is a work in progress but seems to function okay. So I've decided to automate mentioned workflow via a script, (which can be set up with Automator.app to just drag a MS Office PKG into it) and it will create a new package with both the App installer as well as the specific VL_Serializer for either 2016 or 2019 versions. However, the new patch management feature is great, but makes it hard to manage Office as you are required to have separate packages for each App, plus you need a VL_Serializer to be used with new installs or upgrades to 2019 apps. Unfortunately updating several gigs of apps at once has it's own problems, so I never pushed updates out (plus thousands of Macs downloading Office updates doesn't make sense), I just added new versions to Self Service which sufficed. In the past I used workflow to package the entire suite and include our VL_Serializer which worked great. Because I use Jamf Pro, I've decided to try to work with their patch management feature to patch MS Office.
