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.

    Hello
    I’m french and I’ve installed the french version of Office 2007 Pro.
    Before to do that, I’ve re-installed Windows XP Pro.
    I’ve followed the topic word for word. Really. (except I’ve changed Proof.fr instead Proof.en).
    During some days (perhaps ~2 weeks), it has worked, more that 25 uses I think.
    I did not update Windows or Office.
    But today, it doesn’t work anymore.
    Franck, You can believe me, I’ve followed your instructions. But it doesn’t work. Do you think you will be abble to find the counter(?) which limits the use of the trial version?

    it DOES NOT WORK. It just removes popup, but does not stop the 25-time counter.

    Thanks Kalia, comments such as ‘did not work for me’ easily translate to ‘did not bother reading all the posts and finding the relevant ones’. If the instructions are followed both removing previous software then reinstalling and adusting it the IT WORKS. :)

    Totally disagree with the comment previous to me. Back in Sept. I downloaded enterprise, used this hack and have not had any problems with it since. We need to get those little report card things… “Does not follow instructions”… if you follow these instructions word for word, it will work for you.

    Crack worked. but for only a limited time. DONT USE IT. YOU cannot uninstal after the 25 use trial.

    I think I’ve given myself access…the “Access key Request” no longer comes up…but I can’t do anything. All commands are grey (meaning, I can’t use them) I can’t even type. I must be doing something wrong.

    Ok, I see. Next problem I run in to is that I am denied permission to windows installer clean up when I try to run it.
    Secondly you said to whatch out with the removing the product registry. Is there enyghting else to it than removing it? In that case I think I can manage, or are there any other tricks to it.

    For starters read my posting in 58 and any others that may be helpfull. Just using Microsofts uninstall from control panel is somewhat missing the point.

    but that is the point I am not able to uninstall Microsoft office. The message is: unable to unistall because a file is either corrupted or unavailable. I guess it might be the product ID. So what do I do to uninstall it?

    If you COMPLETELY uninstall it, see below, including all registry enteries and program enteries you will be back to scratch so to speak. So even a trial version will install and run, if it wont then you have not comepletly uninstalled the last version.

    It worked for me at first but now I find that the version is back to the ‘read only’ mode. I am not sure what happened but uninstalling it does not even work anymore.
    Is there any solution to this?

    Well I’ve found no matter what you do, after you have used it 25 times thats it.

    Changing the proofen file only takes away the annoying pop up box, and it still counts down your usages, except now you dont know how many times you have left before Total Lockdown.

    Even if you remove it off your system, there is still something in your computer saying it’s been installed before.

    And It wont let you reload it again, with out formatting the whole hard drive.

    Has anybody been able to reload it again, and use the hacks again?

    Wow, thanks so much. It worked perfectly. The thing with Vista is that if you try and edit it with Notepad and try to save it, it says that you don’t have the privileges to do so. Then I tried to open the file with Dreamweaver and edit it there

    Then it said I couldn’t save in that file at all. What I had to end up doing was copy the file with the revision, Delete the other one, and paste that one in there. Hope that helped for all the Vista users out there.

    Word of advice to you all too, switch to Mac or Linux. Windows is not worth it.

    Childish. This crack does work, you may not be able to follow instructions but I, and dozens of others, have managed to get it to work. Why the DO NOT USE IT tag???? Makes it sound like some nasty virus.

    Can I suggest that -
    1. You COMPLETELY remove the office application you currently have. Instructions below.
    2. re-install and follow directions as listed
    3. Never update windows or office because as soon as you do office will grey out again.
