I purchased this on line, I have the product key, but cannot find where to enter it. I looked for help and it refers me to the Program Names or the activation wizard, I cannot find either. Any suggestions?
Once Microsoft Office 2007 has been installed with no product key, proceed with the following steps:
1. In Windows Explorer, browse 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.
I have changed from alwaysinstalled to neverinstalled. BUT same message appeared asking for activation.. help me please
