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.
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)

I got all the way to the last step and it tells me that it cannot create the file then asks me if I want to overwrite it and I click yes but then it takes me back to the first thing about not being able to create the file. does anyone know what I should do?

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…
February 8th, 2009 05:37
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.

OMG, I HAVE TO UNINSTAL EVERYTHING FIRST AND THEN FOLLOW THOSE STEPS? UUUUGHH, SHIT I DIDNT DO THAT .. cuz like, i did without uninstaling it, and it was still locked
but like, i have the home and student version, does it make any difference?
and i will unistal the whole office now to repeat those steps, so i DOWNLOAD THE OFFICE AGAIN, RIGHT?
February 6th, 2009 11:44
Do not fucking do this, this does not work, you can do this, but after 20 times you used it, it will lock again this just make the install Microsoft office windows disappear, in other words, this is useless, don’t even bother doing his.
