Downloading Office 2019 on multiple computers

Question

We recently got 30 licenses from TechSoup for Office 2019 Standard. How can I download these onto each device? I am not understanding the website. Do I have to log onto each device with my email associated with the VLSC and download manually? Or is there a way I can send links out to each employee so that they can download on their own? Thanks.

Please note that Office 2019 products use Click-to-Run installation technology instead of traditional Windows Installer technology (MSI) and cannot be downloaded directly through VLSC.

According to your description, it is recommended that you could directly download the installation file of Office 2019 to a shared folder, and then share the shared folder with other users for installation. For more information, please refer to: Deploy Office 2019.

1. Please download the latest version of ODT.
2. Configure the .xml file and rename it to configuration.xml as shown below. You only need to change \Server\Share to the correct folder path. <Configuration>
   <Add SourcePath="\Server\Share" OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2019">
   <Product ID="Standard2019Volume">
   <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Add>
   <RemoveMSI />
   <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
   </Configuration>
3. Launch the command prompt as administrator, go to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and type the following command as shown below.

setup /download configuration.xml

4. After downloading, type the following command to install it.
Other users only need to copy the setup.exe and configuration.xml files to the local computer, go to the path of the ODT file, and run the following command to install.

setup /configure configuration.xml

For activating Office, please refer to: Activate Office.

Besides, I found this Download and Installation Instructions for Office 2019 from TechSoup, you could also have a check.
