So, I've had the Windows Office Pro 2021 with the crack for a long time now, but I'm really fed up with the annoying "Get Genuine Office" popups that it gives me. I've tried a TON of different things to fix it, from changes to the Office files themselves, to reg edits, but nothing seems to work.

The last thing I tried fixed it for three days, but then it notified me that I would no longer have access to Office as of Tuesday (this past Tuesday). I had to reinstall the KMS crack to fix that, but then of course I'm still back to the same popups.

Is there anything we can do after KMS (or other than KMS) to get rid of the popups, or is there just no workaround?

You've put so much effort into trying to bypass the message, why just just pay like $10 for a "legit" serial key and be done with it?

You can easily find activation keys for cheap on Google, I'm even wondering if you should check the marketplace section, maybe some people are selling this on HF

Are we now allowed to sell Microsoft keys on HF?

I see people selling keys in the marketplace, I guess that's allowed, I checked Omni's threads and I didn't see any communication about that, or maybe I'm missing something, do you have any information about that ?

No, you can download legit Office installer and activate it with a cheap key, we're proposing an alternative to OP

I would ask if LibreOffice would be good enough. It is for me.

Thank you for all the quick responses here. It's greatly appreciated.

So, as far as this quote above, I'm not sure it was LibreOffice I tried, or OpenOffice, but whichever one it was, I didn't like the setup. There were certain things that are normally very easy to configure in word, that were either more difficult to set up in the software, or with at least one or two of the things, not even possible. I can't remember exactly, as it was a while back, but I'm a physics major in college, so there are some things I need word to do that are out of the norm as far as formula's, mathematic symbols, etc.

I could certainly look into them and give them a shot again. I normally don't like to clutter my computer up with multiple trial installations, but considering I have a new computer now, the old one can be my guinea pig :)

Considering this is a forum for hacking, I would certainly hope so, lol. But I mean really, I was hoping there was some tweaking that I could myself rather than a crack. Something that could both solve my problem, and be a learning experience for me. I've been a techy since I was a kid with Commodore 64, but hacking is something I'm fairly new to. Still have a LOT to learn.

Thanks for this feedback as well. To answer the question, because one as I said in my last post, I like to use things like this as a learning experience. That's why I spent time messing with the registry and the software itself; to try to learn more about how to successfully pull something like this off.

Two, out of principle, lol. I have never once paid for any software in my life other than a couple games, Xbox games, or monthly subscriptions to things like WoW, and I'm in my 40s. Now, it's sort of like a game to me - I either crack something myself, or get a pre-made crack if it's out of my league (or too much trouble). If I support a developer, I prefer to donate to them directly. Corporations I don't particularly care about making richer, and only makes sense that if I don't have to pay, to not pay.

I'm sure at least some of you on here do the same, don't you? At the minimum, at least with music? I haven't bought music since cds back in the 90s. Now again, I do support some musicians, but by buying concert tickets, official merchandise, helping with their online face, etc.

With that said, at this point, I would consider getting a key, as it has become way too much trouble for me to try to take care of this myself. But, don't you need to pay monthly or annually for it though? If not, which version would I be looking for where I could get a permanent key, or can you for any version? And to add, yea, if I can get one off these forums, I would much rather do that to support the forum (and forum users) than go somewhere else, if they're on here. I'll take a look around later when I have a few mins free. For now, I have the kids. But again, I appreciate everyone's feedback, and please let me know about getting a permanent key for it when you're able.
