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:
- Close all Microsoft Office applications.
- Run Register Editor by clicking on Start -> Run, and then type “regedit” in the Open box and press Enter key.
- 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 Plus 2007
ProductName=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - Once found the correct registry subkey, delete the following values:
DigitalProductID
ProductID - Close Registry Editor.
Once Microsoft Office 2007 has been installed with no product key, proceed with the following steps:
- In Windows Explorer, brose to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\
- Right click on Proof.XML file, select “Open With…” in the right click menu.
- 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.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the Proof.XML to locate the following lines:
</Feature> <Feature Id=”SetupXmlFiles” Cost=”1248″>
<OptionRef Id=”AlwaysInstalled”/>
</Feature> - Change the AlwaysInsalled to neverInstalled so that the line looks like following:
<OptionRef Id=”neverInstalled”/>
- 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.
- 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.

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)
July 20th, 2008 14:01
It only stops the notification window from popping up everytime you work in Office. It doesnt actually activate microsoft office.

THANKS i tried all possible methods but only this one works
July 19th, 2008 07:31
works beautifully! thanks! ^^
July 17th, 2008 10:51
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
July 15th, 2008 17:05
