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.

      Yes. Although the previous method didn’t really need manual intervention, so as long as you go online at least once every few months it gets automatically renewed.

      But this method activates Office permanently with no need for internet connection, so you can run away from civilization to an unmapped forest with your laptop, and Office remains activated even if you stay there forever.

      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.
