Hack to Activate Microsoft Office 2007 Evaluation Trial Version

Most suites or programs of Microsoft Office 2007 allows user to evaluate the product. The trial version of 2007 Microsoft Office system can be installed by using a 25-character trial product key available from Microsoft while you download the free Office software, and you can use the Microsoft Office 2007 suite or program with full functionality for 60 days.

You may have the Office 2007 CD and are able to install Office 2007 without entering product key. However, Office 2007 will work in reduced functionality mode, where it’s effectively just a viewer for Office documents. Beside, if you forget the trial product key, or don’t wish to register a Windows Live ID to get the trial key, here’s the trick to activate Office 2007, or more correctly, bypass the activation of Office 2007 60 days trial, and making the “trial” word disappear from the Office title at the top and suppress activation and trial expiry prompt.

Note that to use Microsoft Office 2007 beyond 60 days trial period, you need to purchase a valid license for it, available from Amazon or most computer retail store.

To use this hack to crack activation on Office 2007, you need to install Office 2007 without any serial number or product key. If you have installed Office 2007 with a product key or serial number, do the following to clean remove Office 2007 of product key:

  1. Close all Microsoft Office applications.
  2. Run Register Editor by clicking on Start -> Run, and then type “regedit” in the Open box and press Enter key.
  3. Navigate to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

    Note that inside the registry key, there should be another subkey that resembles the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE

    or

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{91120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE

  4. If there is more than one registry entries or subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open up each subkey, and then identify the product by the ProductName value data until you locate the subkey for the product which you want to remove the existing product license key.

    For example:

    ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007
    ProductName=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

  5. Once found the correct registry subkey, delete the following values:

    DigitalProductID
    ProductID

  6. Close Registry Editor.

Once Microsoft Office 2007 has been installed with no product key, proceed with the following steps:

  1. In Windows Explorer, brose to the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\

  2. Right click on Proof.XML file, select “Open With…” in the right click menu.
  3. In the “Open With” window, select Notepad to be used to open the XML file. In Vista, if you can’t see the Notepad option, simply double click the “Other Programs” to unhide it.
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Proof.XML to locate the following lines:

    </Feature> <Feature Id=”SetupXmlFiles” Cost=”1248″>
    <OptionRef Id=”AlwaysInstalled”/>
    </Feature>

  5. Change the AlwaysInsalled to neverInstalled so that the line looks like following:

    <OptionRef Id=”neverInstalled”/>

  6. Save the Proof.xml file. In Windows Vista, you may need to take ownership and grant full access permission to yourself before able to modify the file.
  7. You can now launch Microsoft Office 2007 application such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and etc without prompting for activation.

As usual, as it’s a hack, and before you purchase a valid product key for it, you won’t be able to AND can’t access any updates or Microsoft Office Online.

Note: The hack may work for 60 days only. To make this hack fully working, try to delete additional file below, probably has to be deleted every two months:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\opa12.dat

Or,

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA (for Windows 7 and Vista)

    Can’t make it work.

    After about two weeks (yes, 2 weeks) since I purchased the Pc and installed MS Office, the system went into “locked mode”, where I can view everything, but can’t write or modify anything.

    I use Windows Vista 64bit; I downloaded Proof_hack_automated_patcher_v2.2 but it can’t find ProductID anywhere (there isn’t one)

    Proof are patched correctly; opa12.dat is created every time I launch an office application

    Can you help me?

    Thank you very much for your efforts

    Heya,

    Used this on my old laptop running vista for ages and it worked perfectly. Now with a new laptop running windows 7, there doesn’t seem to be a proof.en file. Any word on how to hack this one?

    ALERT!!!

    Hey guys the SP2 install screws this up. I had it running on W7 just fine, but I had automatic updates turned on. All at once it installed all SP2 updates and some security updates for Office 2007. With them installed the crack doesn’t work anymore. I can manually remove most updates buy the SP2 update I cannot unistall. Any thoughts? Is there a tool to bypass this?

    Actaully I found out how to fix this.

    Thanks to @Venkat

    Reverse the change in Proof.XML in the following folder on XP.
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en

    Need to change neverInstalled to AlwaysInstalled. make sure you use Upper case A.
    Then you should be able to uninstall it from AControl Panel->Add or Remove Programs
    .

    No registration file to be found. Found the Proof file but unable to save it after making changes. Attempts to save the proof after changing results in error telling me to make sure the path and file name are correct. I also gave myself ownership of the file but no change.

    Using Vista.

    add:
    Word + excel working
    over 60 days ago I installed the student version – then upgraded the trial to small business so had both on my system.
    It seems my student trial is working (can use word/excel) however the SMall Business Trial is not – so cant use outlook and publisher.
    Have checked all the original changes and they stand the same – have also tried deleting the OPA12.dat file – but it just reappears as soon as I try to open an office program.

    I did the mods months ago and today I went to use Office and it was locked. Using Vista Home Premium. the script choked on msg.exe( missing in premium ) and I kept getting wierd char errors ( maybe from the cut/past from browser ) so I re-verified my orig mods as ok. I then went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA and noticed OPA12.BAK and OPA12.dat had different dates. I copied the BAK —> .DAT and it works again My guess is to make a zip of these files after the mods and reextract then if the lock up occurs again.

    Help, is there a hack for if you have Microsoft Office that comes with a computer or laptop? My subkey reads as {91120000-0031-0000Office etc}, not the same as above and there is no productID or to erase. Anyone?

    To the people who can’t find opa12.dat – it’s there, you just need to show hidden folders. “Application Data” is a hidden folder in “All Users”.

    OK guys if you are using 64bit version try this:

    go to regedit->local machine->software->wow6432node->microsoft->office->12.0->Rgistration->{91120000-0031-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

    delete: DigitalProductID
    ProductID

    And make the changes in Proof.xml as mentioned

  62. Did you try the hack and it locked up on you?

    I have had the same problem. it suddenly stopped working after a while. I followed all the steps, and even tried deleteing the opa12.dat. that does not work, as it just recreates itself every time I open it.

    Is there a way to fix this? I understand how to uninstall it, but that is a pain in the ass. I would rather just get the full-verson back.

    Hey there,

    Do not follow the steps above as they offer a temporary solution that works for a few days. This is not a crack, this is a temporary solution which makes everything more confusing.

    Hi, i am on windows vista and even by taking ownership of the proof.xml file (i used a take ownsership registry tool) i cant seem to modify it because it tells me the path to the file does not exist.

    This is what i get:

    Cannot create the C:\Program files(x86)\Common Files\ microsoft shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup controller\proof.en\proof.xml

    make sure the path and file name are correct.

    now honestly, i don’t understand what to do…

    This is me again, SandyHan. For the %temp% part of the manual uninstall, I was able to delete all but one file–but that file didn’t seem important, so I just let it go at that. Just in case it’s relevant.

    HELP!! I’m really frustrated here!!

    Hi, I’m at my wit’s end and really hoping for help. Maybe I overlooked something.

    I installed Office 2007–I think it was the Small Business Office 2007 version–and put in the product key for the trial since it required it, and Googled and found this webpage. Thank you! And I used the information to successfully change this from a trial version to a permanent version–or so I thought.

    Well, Office 2007 as of a couple days ago won’t work except as a “reader.” That is, its menu options are grayed out. So I tried the other things suggested here, e.g., I tried EVERYTHING suggested above here in this webpage, PLUS, when that didn’t work for whatever reason, I tried the uninstalling option on your other webpage–the manual version that is.

    Well, what happened was I manually deleted everything that I could find, pretty much I think, and then I went to the Add or Remove Programs section and Office 2007 wasn’t there anymore, so I thought, hmm, it was successfully uninstalled. (Mind you, I now remember that Business Contact Manager 2007, part of the package for me, was still there–I didn’t uninstall that. Was that the problem?)

    So I went ahead and downloaded Small Business Office 2007, the same as before I think, and it asked for the product key, and I refused to give it, and I tried using 2007, and it’s still grayed out same as before I uninstalled.

    What do I do now? Help!

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office 12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en Needs to be manually located by navigating through the Program Files in the drive in Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7. Otherwise, Windows will state that the file can not be located. Also, it is necessary to open up Notepad and paste the contents from Proof.xml into a new Notepad document. Delete the old Proof.xml and save the new Notepad document as Proof.xml on the desktop. Than drag it to the location where the old Proof.xml document once existed. Close out of all Windows and reboot. Than open up Office 2007 and enjoy!

    THANK YOU “doesnt last forever”! I followed the steps you recommended, and succesfully uninstalled word.

    One point I would like to add is that the activation code I purchased would NOT work with it until I uninstalled/reinstalled it it – but now all is fine (if at a cost)!

    i was going to leave you all in the dark BUT!!

    you can make it so it is 100% normal again

    1. follow the same path that you did to the XML document…. replace it with the original one which ISNT screwed up:

    2. go to C:/programdata/microsoft/OFFICE/DATA/
    then delete both files

    3. NOW microsoft (the multi million dollar national company you thought u could fool)NOW your computer will relize you have been screwing around and it will RE-CONFIGURE

    4. you should be prompted again, now enter you 60 day trial code or phurcased code or a code off a code gen

    5. it is now the way it originally was now u CAN unistall it

  94. doesnt last forever
    October 4th, 2009 11:15

    sometimes, steps 4,5 which has “neverInstalled” doesnt work because it says you cant overwrite it. for this, you should save the “neverinsttaled” file to the desktop, then go to the XML file and switch them. You will need administrative access

    After unsuccessfully trying to save proof file with change to “Neverinstalled” i took another reviewers advice of saving proof file to my documents, that is after deleting product id and registration numbers. When proof file is in documents change “alwaysinstalled to “never installed”In the
    . Delete original proof file totally and paste the new amended file containing “neverinstalled” in its place. This worked for me!!
    Thank you

    I coulnt get it to save so i just deleted all the registration code numbers like u listed in the 1st stage of the solution. How do i get it to Save the “Neverinstalled” part it keep saying incoorect path unable blah blah. I sort of have solution now but i have to put trail product key in every time i want to use the extra options…very annoying

    i did this without reading the reviews, and it worked in the sense that the program didn’t ask for the product key

    so it hit me that i should read the reviews, and many people have said that this leads to locking the program after the trial is up and being unable to uninstall it, because you can’t change the never installed back to alwaysinstalled. i had the problem where i could not get it to save, but after about five tries it worked, and now when i open the trial microsoft office it asks for product key again.

    no solution to the problem, but solution for problem of the solution to the problem. :-)

    this “hack” is nothing more than a little trick which takes off the pop up for the product key and such.
    the time bomb which will lock microsoft office is still intack.
    the hack does not remove that.
    well as a matter of fact, u can uninstall it, but only through the painstaking process of removing each subregistry key and such. its a pain in the ass. ur trail will expire and it will lock up. then u WILL have to manuelly uninstall each little tidbit of the Microsoft office. and u cant even jst buy the full version to “wash” out the trial. so please spare urself the troubles of listening to this “savior” cuz it does not work.”

    I downloaded MS office 2007 professional version 60 trial version with a product key provided by microsoft and installed it on my computer. Then,I came to know a trick which could convert this free trial version into a permanent version. Trick was as follows:

    1.Click on Start button, then click on Run.
    2.Type “regedit” (without quotes) in the Run text box, and click OK or press Enter.
    3.Locate and then click the following subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

    Inside, you will find another subkey that resembles the following subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{30120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

    4. Deleted the following two filed:
    • DigitalProductID
    • ProductID

    5. Go to RUN and locate file Proof.en
    6.In the bottom changed AlwaysInstalled into NeverInstalled and saved it.

    It worked for couple of days but after a few days it ceased working.Now I can not even uninstall MS office because of those two filed I had deleted. I tried to download free trial version again and setup from the beginning but it does not work either because of the same reason.

    Could you please help me out this problem?Thanks!

    after posting my confirmation today, ive been surpirsed to read that some people have problems. in fact, this is it:

    1. for ms 2007 enterprise professional sp2 (including basic products, excluding visio and project), i can only suggest the following serial it worked for me:

    (may delete your current key first in order to be prompted to insert serial again . more details on deleting your current serial: see step 1 in the original posting)

    2. for visio and project 2007 professinal (english) trial, i ve been using the method above (s, original post) by modifying the english file (…en\proof.xml). what i can notice is, it didnt only exit the popup activation prompt but also: the product works fully now ! (those who installed visio and project 2007 pro, they know that if you dont activate the prodcuts, you wil only be able to “try” the menu, see the buttos, etc…without right to create new file for example…)

    the activation method works for visio and project. how long? hmm well see… i can only confirm that it didnt only exit the popup prompt, but more…

  203. midnight hawk
    July 25th, 2009 04:50
    1207

    i can confirm it worked with m§ Visio and project 2007 pro [english] trial.
    in fact it is very important to delete the first key entered (the trial one) then EXIT regedit !! .
    once done, you must cut the proof.xml file and paste it somewhere else (for example on desktop) where you can edit it (i used win text editor, u can use notepad too). just edit the line, close and confirm saving then re-paste the file to its original directory,
    start m$ offi..,
    done.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. It removes the pop-up for activation, but then you are in Read-Only mode. Can’t type anything.

    I’m lost. Help.

    I stuck on #4. I found the below folder when I click on its, it show me all the AB Icons. What do I do next. Please email me kimme05@gmail.com

    Thank you

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE

    4.If there is more than one registry entries or subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open up each subkey, and then identify the product by the ProductName value data until you locate the subkey for the product which you want to remove the existing product license key.
    For example:

    ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007
    ProductName=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

    5.Once found the correct registry subkey, delete the following values:
    DigitalProductID
    ProductID

    6.Close Registry Editor.

    June 27th, 2009 08:50
    1172

    READ PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    This does work. This hack makes no promises of stopping the trial version from expiring – it simply gives you full use of Microsoft Office that is otherwise limited due to it’s trial status.

    This works EXACTLY how the poster says it will. Open your eyes. Read. Stop being idiots.

    THIS-DOES-NOT-WORK… it only turns off the prompt to buy office. The demo will expire all the same at the end of the trial period.. why do people keep posting this obviously non-working hack?

    OK this is the second crack (that actually works!) Install Office 2007 with a product key (not a trial product key!)and use this crack!

    1. Install Office 2007

    2. Enter the Serial (Don’t work without one)

    3. Extract this stuff to:
    C:Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12
    Replace file when prompted
    Open any Office 2007 Application. Like Word.
    Click Activate by Phone. Pick your Country.
    Fill all of the empty boxes with zeros so it looks
    like this: 000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000

    . Click Activate. and it will tell you it’s activated! :-)

    Get the OGA here http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4387686

    I know it’s a lot of work but it worked 4 me. Maybe it will work 4 others…

    FYI :I use Vista Basic, and made many modifications to the services.msc file disabling many microsoft programs.

    in answer to the question vista users might have about allowing themselves full control, you just right click on ‘proof’ (the file itself) and choose properties>security>edit, choose the appropriate user and click ‘full control.’ hope that helps! it should allow you to save normally after that.

    If you already installed MSO 07 with a good key but cannot ACTIVATE it try this.

    Download mso.dll_patched_activation_and_templates_SP2_(12.0.6425.1000). Extract the file to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12
    Replace the file when prompted. Open any Office 2007 application, like Word. Click “Activate by Phone.” Pick your Country. Fill all of the empty boxes with zeros so it looks like this: 000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000

    Click “Activate” and it will tell you it’s activated! :-)

    At work they use cracked versions of Office 2007. I checked and all of them say “Always Installed”.

    Considering they’ve been using the cracked versions for a good year or year and a half, it obviously makes no diff that the thing says “Always Installed”.

    Okay so I’ve basically been getting the same problems as everyone here. I installed Onenote 2007 and it worked for about a month and now it’s grayed out and I cannot modify my document. I’m currently trying to use it on XP. However, I did the same thing a couple months back on my vista laptop and it still works perfectly fine…

    does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?? Thanks

    If you get an error trying to save, follow this:
    1. Open proof.xml
    2. Edit correctly
    3. Save to Desktop as proof.xml
    4. In Office /dir/ rename proof.xml to proof.old
    5. Copy desktop version to office /dir/

    This does work. However, if you ever want run the installer for office 2007 for any reason, you must change the “neverinstalled” back to “AlwaysInstalled”. If you don’t you will get an error telling you that to run the installer from the original media.

    Microsoft has patched Office 2007 so that this option doesn’t work anymore. No widely known solution is available except to buy a real copy of it. Depending on what you need in the suite it isn’t that costly sometimes… especially if you are a student.

    Yeah… looks like this hack breaks after a period of time or perhaps someone accidentally ran a Windows update that killed it. At any rate it looks like this install is dead… or at least I don’t have a new idea to continue. :/ Tried setting back to original (restoring the reg entries, restoring the file to AlwaysInstalled) opening up Word and then closing and re-following steps. No joy. :(

    It can only work for a while. The only thing is that window which let you enter the product key doesn’t appear. Then after office expired, you cannot use it at all.

    @ rivebise – thanks, I had trouble locating the file as Im using Vista as well, now my turn to help you.
    To save the file (cos I then had the same problem as you) you need to right click on the Proof.en file, go into properties, and click on the security tab. Have a look at your user name in the list (there’s administrator etc) and see if you have modify rights. Most likely not, so just click on the edit button, give yourself rights to modify. I didn’t even bother closing down the proof.en file while I made the changes, just went back and saved it and voila!

    This didn’t work for me on Office 2007.

    It no longer asks for a product key, but if I try to type anything it says ‘This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked’.

    Any suggestions? the search continues..

    This does work. This hack makes no promises of stopping the trial version from expiring – it simply gives you full use of Microsoft Office that is otherwise limited due to it’s trial status.

    This works EXACTLY how the poster says it will. Open your eyes. Read. Stop being idiots.

    Please help because I would like to use this hack. Also, when I went to change to “neverinstalled”, it gave me two options, one was for SetupControllerFiles and the other for SetupXmlFiles. I didnt know which to change so I tried both.

    If you are using vista and you can’t save the file take the following steps; it worked for me.
    Go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account Control off -> Restart, then try it. It will let you save.

    I have Windows Media Center XP. This worked for a while, but now runs in “compatibility mode”. (Can’t change anything.) I tried uninstalling MS Office and reinstalling, but it didn’t work. (says a file is missing when I try to uninstall.) Any ideas?

    to give permission to save the changes in note page, right click on the file while in its folder, click properties. go to the security tab, click advanced, you should see 3 options- 2 have full access, one does not, click on it- click off the check box for full access. voila

    im on vista and it wasnt letting me save, so instead save it into your documents and delete the original proof.xml then paste the new one into the folder…this should work

  531. TRJB
    February 15th, 2009 02:22
    879

    i have vista and at first it kept saying it couldn’t save Proof in XML format, it could only save as a .txt file.
    so i had to open Notepad first, right clicking it to open. I selected use ‘run as administrator’ to be able to edit in notepad (second part).
    when i opened notepad as an administrator, then clicked OPEN from the File menu,
    selected ‘all files’,
    and then copied and pasted the proof file address (from part 2 step 1) in the search box.
    I followed the directions changing AlwaysInstalled to neverInstalled.
    Then I saved it.

    after that i worked.

    Hope it helps a Vista user.

    Actually, neverInstalled produces an error, YOU HAVE TO DO FullInstalled and change the MS_OFFICE_TRIAL value to MS_OFFICE_FULL. Then it will work.

    Totally worked – thanks! I had the trial already installed but had passed the 60 days. I followed the instructions to remove the activation codes, then do the hack & had no problems. I dont know what these other people are on about re it not working – they must not have followed the instructions properly! If it locked your office trial why wouldn’t you just uninstall-reinstall and try again? Uninstalling a trial doesn’t wipe your saved files…

  553. Ron
    February 8th, 2009 05:37
    857

    You guys do know that after the 60 days if you delete the 2 things in the registry. Once Office locks up all you have to do is download a new copy of the trial over top of the one you currently have, and use a new trial key for an additional 60 days of use.

    and i will unistal the whole office now to repeat those steps, so i DOWNLOAD THE OFFICE AGAIN, RIGHT?

    Kristie $827, did you find out how to fix the problem without uninstalling? I can read my emails but can’t respond or use most of the features. Quite annoying. I just saw Frank’s suggestion in 67. Not sure how I missed it. Apparently, once you have the gray features that’s it. So you do have to uninstall and try the suggestions he gave once you reinstall office. Give it a shot! Let me know if it works.
    Unfortunately, I gave my office (ultimate) Cd away and never activated; I didn’t expect to have a problem since it was an original. Does anyone know if I can download a trial version for ultimate or should I have my nephew ship it back to me? Oh yeah! Since I can’t save anything in outlook, does that mean I lose all emails since my screen went gray? Sucks to be nice sometimes! Help

    okay. i did all that and everything worked perfectly for a few months or so, and now i’m back to an ended trial?
    i’ve checked the proof.en file and it is still saved as “neverInstalled”, and so i changed it back to Always, and it said my trial ran out – and changed it back to “never” and it doesn’t give me the popup, but still acts as if my trial ran out.
    now it appears the only way to fix this, is to remove that version, and download a new trial pack (student, home etc) for a new trial – and attempt this hack again? possibly to only get 60 days/25 uses all over again?
    i have no idea why this happened, (or when for that matter, since i don’t use office regularly).
    help please?

    It worked but the file was in a different place. My computer came with M office installed but no product key and said it would stop working after a certain number of times opening the product.

    I searched in my computer for Proof.XML and it found the file for me and changed the line as stated and now it opens without warning.

    I tested this out and it works, though, when I got my laptop office 2007 was already on my comp but i guess it was just the trial version, the user before me never installed office and thus never entered in the trial product key. i saw on here somewhere that if you do what you posted before the trial version then microsoft will pick it up and you won’t be able to get it back. would this also apply in my case?

    please send an email to emilelongo19@hotmail.com

    thanks, you are a genius dude!

    I’ve read all the comments about this item. All i’m going to do is wait for the 60 day trial period and then do this “hack / tweak” or whatever they call it. For the meantime, i’ll still look for serials and keygens that will work. Saves me all the trouble of going through this unsure process of obtaining Microsoft Office ‘07. I suggest to find keygens and serials in torrents/file sharing sites like “Thepiratebay.com or mininova.org”.
    Also try astalavista.com for serial search…
    I think this is the safest way so far and only do this “hack/tweak” if only in desperation… Just a thought….

Deswegen wollte ich es löschen, allerdings konnte ich dies nicht vollzogen werden, da ja die Dateien von mir zuvor gelöscht wurden. Kann mir jemand sagen wie die Werte im “Regedit” aussehen? vielleicht einen Screenshot schicken oder so? Ich denke wenn ich die Werte wieder herstelle wie sie vorher waren gelingt mir das Deinstallieren auch.

    So use this hack after trial evaluation expired?
    Why the developer didn’t tell it from beginning?

    For people that have problems: If you have the trial, let the 60 days pass then use the hack because people are getting locked from the computer because Microsoft moniters the trial until it ends. So, when the trial expires and it’s in “read-only” mode that’s the time to use this hack

    Thanks a fucking lot, doing it caused Vista to shut me out completely. Now I can’t do anything with my computer except go on Firefox, and what the fucking use is that. I reversed what I did awhile ago because I found an old version of Office. Now I have to reload Vista, and basically lose everything, as far as I can tell. Don’t use it.

    The Office Trial that was preinstalled on my PC ran out so it effectively turned it into a reader because I could not make any changes to the documents. After using this workaround I can now make alterations etc again so in my case it worked a treat. OK I now have to turn off auto updates etc but that’s no great inconvenience.
    Thanks to the Compiler of this workaround, keep up the good work.

    This does not work to get MS Office for free. It just disables the notification. After 25 starts or 60 days most functions are disabled. When you want uninstall it you cant because of the deleted subkeys in the registry file. Manual uninstall is your next step and its a lot of steps. Best to go to Ebay and find one cheaply.

    I did every single step, but once I got to the step where i open up proof.en in Notepad, i change is to ‘neverInstalled’ but once i save it, it tells me that

    “can not create….

    Make sure the Path Name and file name are correct.”

    I also use Vista…I already had this installed onto my computer for a little over 30 days also, so I just went ahead and did all the steps with it being on my computer…should I uninstall it?

    What am i doing wrong?????

    No this actually works, and yes MS does have a correction for it in automatic updates. Key is, just stop installing automatic updates. I had to system restore and stop installing them.

    All MS does for auto updates is scan your web history and provide it to its MSN web search team. No real need for them unless you have Vista, where MS constantly must fix OS flaws :)

    it will only let you run it up to 25 times before you can no longer use it w/o a product key.

    Ok, this works indeed for about 25 times opening a Office document and then you’re back to start. Keep your initial product code, after resetting the “NeverInstalled” back to the original value you may be able to re-install.

    Navigate to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

    Note that inside the registry key, there should be another subkey that resembles the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE

    or

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{91120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE

    If there is more than one registry entries or subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open up each subkey, and then identify the product by the ProductName value data until you locate the subkey for the product which you want to remove the existing product license key.
    For example:

    ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional 2007
    ProductName=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

    Once found the correct registry subkey, delete the following values:

    (DigitalProductID and ProductID)
    If these value’s are not available then delete,

    (Current)

    Close Registry Editor.

    and have a Activated Microsoft Office 2007.

    This crack does not work. If it does why have microsoft let this crack be here to this day? After 25 times of opening this it says ‘…selection is locked’ which means you cannot type or do anything with office.

    I did this and it worked, but a few things were different.
    I have Vista with the trial home & student version. When I first tried to clear my existing key, I couldnt find “Registration” under the 12.0 in regedit. Nor could I find “Office Setup Controller” under OFFICE12 when looking to edit the xml file in Windows Explorer.
    I found after further research that I have a x64 system. So instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE
    you need to look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

    and then to edit the xml file you should look under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\
    instead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\
    And I also had to change the permissions for the xml file because it wouldnt let me save it. To do that, right click on the xml file (before opening it with notepad) and choose “properties”, then the “security” tab. Click on “advanced” and then “owner”, then “edit” then click on the name of the person under “change owner to” then click apply or ok. Close out the “properties” window and then reopen the “properties” and click on the “security” tab. Now click on the user name you chose and click “edit”. Click on the user name you chose again and then mark all of the empty boxes under “allow” in the permissions for users box. Click apply or ok and your done. Now you can edit the xml file and save it according to the instructions above.
    Hope this helps some of ya!

    Do not do this. After 60 days all Microsoft Office programs will eventually freeze. It’s just a hack not a permanent hack. It just gets rid of the activation screen. I repeat do not do this

But I just can use the program for some days, now I can’t modify my document. The Office say: “the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked”. Tell me the reasons why,pls. Or help me how to get a full free version forever.

    Hey guys. To those having troubles saving the ‘proof’ file you have to change go into the ‘properties’ for the folder that holds that file and change the permissions. It is set by default to NOT allow you to change / modify. Just go into properties –> security and change the permissions so USERS (such as you) have full control. Then you can save the Proof.XML file!

    :)

    Fk you microsoft !

    Here are two serials that work for MS office enterprise 2007 and do not require activation and validation. (These keys are VLK keys which do not require activation)

    KGFVY-7733B-8WCK9-KTG64-BC7D8

    DBXYD-TF477-46YM4-W74MH-6YDQ8

    If you want a patch here are two Virus Free registry files (Checked by VirusTotal!)

    Patch One is located here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmujcrwjnn2/Patch.reg

    Patch two is located here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/jndi1znz0rm/Patch2.reg

    These have been created by me, so you can be sure they’re virus free.

    Patch one causes your serial to change to
    KGFVY-7733B-8WCK9-KTG64-BC7D8
    Patch two causes your serial to become
    DBXYD-TF477-46YM4-W74MH-6YDQ8

    Use either one. Before patching make sure any ms office programs are not running. Download file, double click it and click yes. This patch only works with Office Enterprise 2007.

    This only works for awhile until u get the document to lock up and which u cnt edit it anymore.

    I have installed the version of home and student 2007 package and followed this step to unistalled it.

    1. changed the Proof.xml file back to AlwaysInstalled (make sure it spelt the same way!) then u can uninstalled the software. –> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\

    If u dnt have access to changed the file then do this.

    Right-clicked on the proof.xml file and choose properties –> in the security tab, click on the user group that ur logd on 2 then hit the edit button –> give the user full control and save.

    I then downloaded the 60 trails from the website http://trial.trymicrosoftoffice.com/trialnewzealand/default.aspx?re_ms=oo&culture=en-NZ
    –> pick a product, I choose the pro version –> click on the download now, if might ask u to register so just do that
    –> download both of the files
    –> then u have to download these cracks to replace the files from http://rapidshare.com/files/95093505/MS_office_2007_ultimate_RTM_and_SP1_Activation.zip.html
    –> read instruction first b4 installing it

    It worked for a day, then quit and became a file reader. Sorta got excited and then disappointed. I think MS has already corrected this hack in newer versions of the download trail versions. Had to go through the long complicated process of the online MS Office 2007 uninstall instructions since couldn’t uninstall any other way. If you do have to do this, I solved my reinstall of old Office version by doing a system restore.

    I think you wont be able to remove MS Office if this file has been modified.

    SO i recomend you save this info to change the file again in case you need to uninstall.

    If you are no able to type, this hack wont work, i think is after it expires.

    im here to tell you that this actually works. this probably sounds like an infomercial but seriously it does. i downloaded the trial version in june this year and after 60 days is stopped working like they said. so i was looking to get another free trial, but i came across this. so i did it and the enter product key screen that used to come up when i turned on ms word or excel stopped coming up and at the top of the screen where it used to say trial version now just says ms word or ms excel. thanks so much it works if you do it right!!!

    Ok, so after 600 pointless posts let’s summarize. This “hack” should actually be called “How to get Office to lock up after 25 uses.

    Now, to the morons who say this hack works, let me suggest either that you have not used it 25 times yet, or you’re just happy you were able to uninstall it after the “hack” was reversed.

    News flash; IF IT HAD TO BE UNINSTALLED BECAUSE OF LACK UP, THE HACK DOES NOT WORK!

    I have read through all 600 posts, and here’s my question: Is there a fix for this BESIDES uninstalling? Post 266 is the only actual fix I see here, so:

    CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT THE FIX ON POST 266 WORKS?

    And please, if you respond, DO NOT JUST SAY “This works” or “this does not work”. There are a thousand suggestions floating around. Please specify what you mean by “this”.

    guys.. if your ms office gets locked and you cannot unistall, just change back the xml file.. from neverinstalled back to Alwaysinstalled. save it and you should be able to unistall the trial. Not a crack to get your ms office working again but at least you get a choice of uninstaling it..

    Hi, I did this about 2 months ago and I received an Email this morning saying my trial has officially ended with Microsoft.
    Despite this hack it still disabled my account and I can no longer get it to work.
    I’ve retried the hack and all the right registries are deleted and the “neverInstalled” is still in its place, but I can no longer access Office 2007 properly.
    Help anyone?

    I installed it on Vista.
    It seems to work, but in reality it doesn’t work.
    Alright, the messages do not appear, but as Jason experienced, after x number of tries, everything becomes readonly.
    Trouble: you cannot make a clean uninstall. So it is just a fake hack.
    My opinion: don’t waste your time with this!

    Again it worked for a while, so everything was done right.

    For everyone trying to figure out the last part of this “so-called” hack, I couldn’t figure out the last part but I found this easy way to save the xml.file. When you open the “proof.en” folder, either move the file or right click and export to desktop, when you attempt this, windows will ask you for admin permission, click ok. Once you get it on desktop do the whole right click “open with notepad” thing and do the always to never procedure and it will save. Then move the folder back to where it was previously, it will ask for admin permission again. This should work without messing with all the admin permission stuff. Just to let you know this isnt really a hack or whatever you want to call it. Still trying to figure out how to make MS Office work without any of this garbage hacking!

    For any one having trouble doing the last part where you have to save, I have figured it out.
    If you are unable to save the file after modifying it, you have to first right click on the proof.xml file and go to properties and then click on the security tab. You have to toy around with the users and permissions so you can have clearance to modify the file. Also make sure you are logged in as an Administrator. I just got it to work for my self after many trys, so don’t give up!

    This worked and continues to work on my old IBM laptop, and worked initially for my newer dell laptop. Then roughly 4-5 days after hacking the office program on my dell, office no longer works and is locked and I am getting:

    “the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked”

    similar to another poster

    perhaps I downloaded a windows security update or something that nullified the hack?

    Hi,

    I’ve tried this tip, but I’ve encoutered some problems.

    I had installed Office 2007 with entering the serial number, so I canceled the keys with regedit.

    But when I browse into C:\Program Files\Common Files… I have no folder called “Office12″. I got Windows XP SP3.

    Do you know where that can come from and how to fix it ?

    This worked great until I had to restart my computer. When I tried to use Word after the restart all of my documents are locked. I get this message at the bottom of the screen when I try to edit the document

    “the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked”

    Any idea how to fix this. I am running Vista.

    It worked for two days, then all Office programs were essentially disabled (no editing/saving allowed).

    My advice to anyone considering this hack: don’t waste your time. If you really want Office, just do a Google search for “office 2007 enterprise torrent” and download a torrent. You’ll need a torrent client such as uTorrent.

    In Vista, totally works!

    Once you open the file in your browser, right click on Proof. Scroll down to properties. Then go to security. Click on USERS then click EDIT. Once you’ve done that, give yourself permission to everything. It okay.

    Then open that link in notepad, change the part talked about in the article and… ‘poof!’ totally works!

    It worked for a while, but then it locked down. Then I couldn’t uninstall it.

    In order to uninstall it, I needed to get the stuff that I deleted back. So this is what I did:

    1. I clicked on the Microsoft Office Button in Word (the round button on the top left hand side).
    2. Then I clicked ‘Word Options’.
    3. On the list that pops up, I chose ‘run Microsoft Office Diagnostics’.

    I let it do its thing, and it reinstalled the verification (original Proof.en) on my computer. Now I’m able to uninstall.

    Hope this helps!

    look
    Found out how to uninstall

    1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\
    2. Right click on Proof.XML file, select “Open With…” in the right click menu.
    3. In the “Open With” window, select Notepad to be used to open the XML file. In Vista, if you can’t see the Notepad option, simply double click the “Other Programs” to unhide it.
    4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Proof.XML to locate the following lines:

    5. Change the neverInstalled to AlwaysInstalled so that the line looks like following:

    6. Save the Proof.xml file. In Windows Vista, you may need to take ownership and grant full access permission to yourself before able to modify the file.
    7. You can uninstall.

    Did it myself works perfectly
    if you need something else email me at dark-knight@aol.com ;)

    This did not work for me. I did the saving the proof file in a different location and pasting it over the original like someone mentioned. There were also proof.es and proof.fr folders in which I also changed the “always” to “never”. No go.

    I am guessing this doesn’t work for all versions of Office?

    What I have is:
    Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.4518.1014)

    hey J thanks for your reply, i tried what u suggested and it still wont let me uninstall it, when i did the hack for the first time it gave me 15 uses before i had to purchase this was after it had already expired. so i opened and closed it 15 times and after that it wouldent let me in. so now when i try to uninstall it a message comes up saying “setup cannot continue bcause a required file is corrupted or missing”???….anymore suggestions

  934. J
    July 29th, 2008 21:17
    476

    @Rami: You didn’t screw anything up. The hack is what prevents you from uninstalling it. Just reverse the hack, change “neverInstalled” back to “AlwaysInstalled” and you should be able to uninstall the program through Control Panel.

    Wouldn’t let you use the program without buying after 25 uses, right?

    This “hack” DID, did being the key word, at one time work!!!! I have Office 07 installed and working for 6+ months using this, including use of Windows Update!!!

    MS released a new installer that checks for this now.. All this hack now accomplishes is that it stops the “nag screen” to activate, but still requires it (after 25 uses or 60 days from first use)

    It only stops the notification window from popping up everytime you work in Office. It doesnt actually activate microsoft office.

    only post working or not working if you have tried opening the program more than 25 times!!!!

    So far this hasnt worked for me or most people past 25 times by the looks of it.

    But I would like to know if anyone has used this method and kept the program running for more than 25 times of opening.

    Please let us know proper feedback not. yay I got it working for 5 mins your are the best etc.

    All these guides are fking bull shut.

    You either get prompted by the activate by phone or if you actually do manage to get rid of the trial with a key it only lasts for 25 times of opening the program then shuts down to read only mode.

    Stop posting this Bull fking sht, or find a real crack/fix.

    The only reason people comment saying it works is because it does but only for 25 times of opening the program.

    dont waste your time with this shut

    I have office 2007, running vista premium..unfortunately doesnt work! changed and saved the proof.en file no probs, but when using word or excel, features are still disabled. Seems all i have done is remove the pop up window that requests activation key. Office 2007 was pre-installed on my laptop with 60 day trial, thats now expired. Can anyone help..thanks in advance..Leg

    hahaha dude your such a moron. Elite is the person who wrote this. He’s also the guy who rewrote the .dll files for the hack that really works perfectly. This thread would work better if people like you shut your mouth when you don’t know what you’re talking about. You should be thanking him you d-bag hahaha.

    Hi Just thought I leave a comment I installed on Windows XP Pro. the current trial version (skipping putting in a the serial number). and making the mod the article suggested.

    It is working fine.

    thanks,

    I hope it continues to do so but as its only the second day of install can’t comment on that.

    Didn’t have any issue’s that Vista seem to produce.

    I did opt out of doing any updates as the article did say you will not be able to do any updates or access anything online.

    The first time i followed the steps and worked! Today however it suddenly seems to be re-locked.
    I followed the steps (again), but I’m not allowed to change the Proof file. I made a copy of the Proof file, edited it and put it back. Unfortunately Word still doesn’t work. Who can help me out of the read-only mode?

    You need a key of final activation no key try 60 days at first. Then, in the conversion of software into final version, software will want an Internet activation or phones for verification ., Apply information zip.

    If you enter a legal 60 day key, and then delete all these keys, the program will stop either way. I suggest just get another trial :D

I go to the exact location in the registry, but I don’t see Product ID or the other thing I’m supposed to delete. I have: Product Name, Product Namebrand… blah blah.

    Thanks.. Vista users try this..

    For Windows Vista users: you won´t be able to rewrite the file on its original location. Save it with a different name (e.g. “proof2″) in some other location (e.g. my documents). Then delete the original file, rename “proof2″ as “proof” and move it to the orignal folder. You must have full permission to do that.

    It did work

    Just in case, it’s better to back the original proof file up, if you make a mistake, then it is hard to undo.

    For Windows Vista users: you won´t be able to rewrite the file on its original location. Save it with a different name (e.g. “proof2″) in some other location (e.g. my documents). Then delete the original file, rename “proof2″ as “proof” and move it to the orignal folder. You must have full permission to do that.

    This is bullshit.

    this doesnt work, it just gets rid of the warning message to activate MS Office. It doesnt actually activate MS Office.

    The programs still lock up after 30 days of use.

    just a warning, it will work but from the moment it reaches the trial period. you wont be able to use the software anymore. if ur lucky, you wont be able to encounter problem uninstalling it or re-installing it, but for people like me, i had headache try to reinstalling or removing it on my system.

    Joanne, otsego and others. If you want a really working method for activating office 2007 (it works for all editions) take a look at #253 and following posts HERE.

    If you have done this hack and want to uninstall Microsoft office than just change neverInstalled back to AlwaysInstalled(make sure the A and I are capitalized). Voila, its that simple.

    I strongly suggest that everyone downloads an Office trial and then finds a keygen, rather than use this method. It works for a while, but now I am now stuck unable to uninstall software that has all the features disabled and I don’t have time to go through all the steps listed by “Frustration Station.” This has cost me a lot of time!!

    I feel the need to post. Many of the problems discussed (along with their answers) did nothing to quell my anger towards Microsoft’s office products. I have purchased new computers and new operating systems which have voided my rights to use my legally purchased versions of office, so I turned to less legal means. Being a college student, you don’t get a whole lot of time to screw around with money or (dis)functional software. The problem I ran into was not being able to uninstall software previously installed, especially the trial versions. I attempted at using the uninstall software that many of you have recommended, but to no avail. It hasn’t worked completely, yet, but I think I found a way to completely rid myself of ALL office files with much less frustration. (Trust me, I tried control panel/program uninstall method. It only gave me the same error message “Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from the original source disc or download location.” After about 6 hours of research (I REALLY needed to fix this so I could do my homework. My grade, and about $700 of class fees depended upon it!) I came to this website, hosted by none-other than Microsoft. (Their one saving grace) If you go to this website, it will show you one more location other than the registry that these tricky Microsoft files will be hiding.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us

    Simply follow the directions, and you should be on your way to reinstalling in no time.

    And for heaven’s sake, if they tell you to create a back up for files in the registry, DO IT. YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS HASSLE YOU FOR SIX HOURS.
