Microsoft Office 2007 Home & Student

[BeanEgg]

I've got Microsoft Office 2007 Home & Student, I've entered a serial for it, but I can't get it to activate via the Phone or internet.

Is there anyway I can change the serial number and re-enter another one?

Like editing a script or something?

It's really annoying me now.

Thanks

Try this

1. In Windows Explorer, brose 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.

Everything is still disabled. :S

Anyway is there anyway I can reset the serial number I first entered as I asked for in the first post?

At the moment, I'm stuck with a serial that doesn't work.
