GENERIC-VOLUME-KEYS
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/use-the-office-deployment-tool-to-install-volume-licensed-editions-of-visio-2016
Download the install files:
The call to setup.exe can be local in the directory or can be from a share/UNC path (ie \\server\share).
If local, the path is not needed:
setup.exe /download myConfiguration-v1.xml
If share, the path is required:
\\server\share\setup.exe /download \\server\share\myConfiguration-v1.xml
(not: \\server\share\setup.exe /download myConfiguration-v1.xml)
Install Office365 | Install Microsoft365:
This is used to install, configure, remove, update O365:
If local, the path is not needed:
setup.exe /configure myConfiguration-v1.xml
If share, the path is required:
\\server\share\setup.exe /configure \\server\share\myConfiguration-v1.xml
(not: \\server\share\setup.exe /configure myConfiguration-v1.xml)
