It’s for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.
While I personally love LibreOffice, I get why your mom might not. It’s super easy:
- Download and install Office
- run

What doesn’t she like about LibreOffice, out of curiosity? It’s easy to make the layout like Office (View > User Interface > Tabbed) if that’s her problem - I felt the exact same way, but the second I found out I could do that, I never went back.

Man everyone I work with uses PDF and I have to do some janky shit to fill it out and sign it. Not that I would want docx either…
Done this a while ago for my brother who needed Office for work but isn’t as tech minded as I am. It’s honestly a fantastic tool, kudos to the creator!
What’s this do? Been linux only for like 12 years and don’t keep up with office
Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*
- it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.
Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.
And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.
I would pay to not use PowerShell, but I’m a Linux user so I don’t need to :)
Why not use powershell on linux :)
I don’t even understand why, it literally easier to crack, no need for an account
It literally easier to crack
It is not easier for almost every human on the planet.
I never knew about this. How did you find out about this method?
I’m terminally online
Yeah please teach me how you found it so I can be as resourceful as you. I’m not really interested in your self deprecation. Thank you.
Not OP, but I’m aware of it just from seeing it mentioned in threads like this. There might be a community or list available showing all these cool things but a lot of the time it just goes around by word-of-mouth.
:(
But, seriously, I’m pretty obsessed with piracy stuff and have spent an insane amount of time poring over lists like FMHY so it’s like trivia to me now
Download office from massgrave.dev and activate with the power shell activator. Permanent activation as easy as it gets.
massgrave.dev
This appears to have worked flawlessly
There was an article that caught Microsoft’s own IT support use this script to activate a customer’s computer so I guess Microsoft approves of it.
Edit: sauce
yea can barely call it ‘effort’ more like accidentally tripped, pressed enter and now office 365 is installed ;D
You could tell your mom the real price of MS office. She might suddenly stand LibreOffice just fine.
i’m always amused by the reaction of my friends when i tell them that office costs $10 per month. They are all always “whaaaaat?? This POS is this expensive??”
Screw word. I’m studying Software Development, but I have to write all these management reports for various classes. I’m just writing them in LaTeX now, so it feels like I’m coding while I’m writing a paper. Implement some new fancy features every time that I than have to debug like I do with code.
Hosting pirate scripts for a Microsoft product on another Microsoft owned website is… interesting.
There are even reported cases where Microsoft support used that tool to activate Windows Licenses when there are problems with the License of a customer.
Is there any tool like this for macOS?
Meanwhile I quietly switched Ms office with libreoffice on my dads PC and he didn’t even notice.
You can change libreoffice to have the ribbon and act more like ms office.
Go on
Refer to Google and YouTube.
Download the official version and activate with MAS
Neat. I didn’t know any services like this existed.
Should I be wary of using this while logged in to my Microsoft account?
As long as it’s for personal use I don’t think Microsoft gives a shit (beyond what is legally necessary)
They care more that you’re using their software and it stays the default productivity suite for workplaces
I don‘t think so. I‘m logged in with a regular account and don‘t have any trouble.
MAS?
Easy peasy…
u can download OFFICE official ISO fom microsoft directly and use MASS to activate just take like 5 mins downloading, installing and activating.
and you can be sure that it’s clean

At this point I think it’s more beneficial for you to move to using LibreOffice. It’s a better to spend your time getting used to that, instead of trying to obtain MS Office.
I’m not saying that LibreOffice is as good, but it’s good enough.
It’s really easy to do actually.
I’ve had success using a cracked Office 2013 installation. The older ones don’t have as sophisticated anti piracy measures and don’t unactivate themselves as often.
I eventually got my dad to use Libre office. There are several different ui layouts and one of the is really similar to ms office.
Out of curiosity: what she doesn’t like?
I bought my license for like 4 or 5 usd after a life of sailing and using libreoffice, not on ebay but on one of those praised website that sells key for games and suchWhy not just change to the other kind of header bar – Notebook or what not.
I’d say no because at least LibreOffice won’t change for no reason every few years.
Also, fuck Microsoft & their products & Adobe too. They can get lost and we shouldn’t prop them up as defacto when other options exist.
Krita is waving for some Photoshop users
How about a code from eBay for an older version usually around $5-$10 have never had an issue
