Install MS Office without MS account?

[LazyLion]

So when I do re-install for people - I don't usually have access to their Microsoft Accounts, but I would like to still install office for them, so that all they have to do is enter their account details when they get their PC back? Why is this not possible?

Why don't you do it from a downloaded file?

I can't download the file without an account. At least not from an official source.

No 365. The client has a 365 account.

I called Microsoft and they emailed me a link to fetch the file. It was the "Enterprise" edition which I received

There is for MacOS. Saves me a lot of hassle when I need to update multiple machines.

Search Google for Office 2016 OPK. It's the Office Pre-installation Kit. Current version is 16.2.1. I use it continuously to install Office 365 for clients.

Note: you do have to sign in to download, but it's with YOUR MS account

Not true. It'll install normally and activate after sign on...

If it is Office 365 just rather use the ODT. It works way better. You can install all the 365 apps without the need for the user to log in. Little difficult to get started with, but awesome.
