I did a guide several months ago to make Microsoft Office installation as easy as possible. I have recently modified it to tell people to use the Ohook activation method and also updated the GitHub Gist mirror.

Happy pirating and I hope this guide can help anyone.

Hwid was ever available for office? I thought it always needed a reactivation every 6 months

What is the actual advantage of Microsoft office in contrast to libre office or open office?

[–] LucidBoi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

it's prevalent everywhere

Microsoft bribing ISO to make their crappy standard docx the norm then implementing the docx standard differently in word than in the official docs they made so that FOSS alternatives don’t work as well IIRC.

Step one download open office

[–] IverCoder@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Step two, discover that people don't move to free Office alternatives for a reason

People do though they just aren’t arrogant about it.
