--- Comment #18 from steven.byrnes@gmail.com 2013-01-28 09:52:56 CST --- Still an issue in 1.5.22.
Tip: If you need to type in a 25-character key, then you have MAK not KMS. I have MAK. It seems that no one has figured out an MAK workaround yet. :-(
Robspaulo -- I have a working installation in Windows 7 64-bit (the other half of my dual-boot). The registry there has no entries matching "MAK" or "MultipleActivationKey". In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform] there are entries for Default, Path, ReferralData, ServiceSessionID, and UserOperations. Plus there are subfolders -- data, Plugins, ReferralData. Nothing has any IP address or server name as far as I can see.
I tried running wine "setup.exe" "/admin". I don't think it's helpful. The only thing you can do in this interface is create a ".MDP" installation customization file, which I can save the key inside. If I put this MDP file into the "Updates" folder in the installation CD, BEFORE installing Office, then Office setup will automatically try to activate during installation. But I don't see how that could possibly help. It will still presumably use the exact same activation script, which doesn't work. (I didn't try it though.)
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help...
