1. Download the trial and install.
Microsoft Office Standard - Download Office Standard 2007, Office Standard Download Free Trial

2. Go to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\

3. Open the file Proof.XML with notepad.

4. Look for the following line:
</Feature> <Feature Id=”SetupXmlFiles” Cost=”1248″>
<OptionRef Id=”AlwaysInstalled”/>
</Feature>

5. Change "AlwaysInstalled" to "NeverInstalled" so it looks like this:
<OptionRef Id=”neverInstalled”/>

6. Save

7. Profit!

nice find, i already have it, but +rep

THIS IS STILL ILLEGAL

It's the same as downloading the trial and cracking it. Whether it's a cracked executable or a changed text file, it's all the same in court.

This is only for those who care about legality - as far as ease of use, it is simple.

Try running it as administrator or allow changes in this folder.

It's normal, it's gonna stay a trial forever, instead of something like 2 months.

in terms of things that are more illegal i think that cracking their trial software is more illegal than just downloading their employees version

how do you run as admin/allow changes in the folder? Right-click>Run as administrator isn't there, and when i go to properties>Read only, i uncheck it, and it says run as admin T_T.

CharlesM · 10-05-2008, 03:13 PM

Properties, security tab, allow everything.

edit: pm me if you need more help, I had the same problem on another computer.

The Hitman · 10-05-2008, 03:25 PM

Thanks! Works like a charm. Here is my file that is already changed for anyone who is too lazy to do it lol.
Just extract and copy the file to the folder it belongs in.

Also make sure you backup the old file just in case you run into any problems.
