--- Comment #31 from Andre alopes@ime.usp.br --- Workaround for MAK keys activation (worked for me)
Found on PlayOnLinux Forums - https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-4452-2.html - Try following these instructions... It seems that if you enter the MAK serial number on the config.xml and run the installer, it will install and activate the Office 2010 Standard (and hopefully other versions)
1) Copy the CD content to a folder on your computer 2) There'll be a folder named "Standard.WW" (or ProPlus.WW or whatever your version name) 3) Inside "Standard.WW", there is a file named config.xml 4) Edit config.xml and make sure that it has the following lines (for Standard version):
<Configuration Product="Standard"> <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> <PIDKEY Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" /> <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"/> </Configuration>
Where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is yours 25 chars serial key without dashes.
5) Save the file and now install it through setup.exe
This should install, verify and activate Office 2010 for you. It worked for me on Zorin OS 9 Linux running the installer through PlayOnLinux 4.2.2
