Activate Office 2010 Play On Linux (Step By Step)

ENG / ESP

For most it is already known that you can install Office in its various versions through a program called Play On Linux that works with Wine.

In Windows already you could activate Office 2010, but installed on Linux had not yet known ways to do this. Fortunately there is a solution. After installing and running Office, it will run a trial period of 60 days, after which the programs will become only document viewers, meaning that you can not edit any files. This could be fixed easily in Windows with the EZ-Activator aka EZ-Toolkit, but in Linux a little more care must be taken when applying the patch.


STEPS TO ACTIVATE OFFICE 2010 IN LINUX (PLAY ON LINUX)

0. Make sure Office 2010 is installed and that the programs run correctly. Download EZ-Activator aka EZ-Toolkit(thepiratebay.com) and copy the .exe in \home\<user>\.PlayOnLinux\wineprefix\Office2010\drive_c using your favorite file explorer (dolphin or another one). Start PlayOnLinux.
1. Click on Configure.
2. Click on Command Prompt.
3. In the prompt, go to: \home\<usuario>\.PlayOnLinux\wineprefix\Office2010\drive_c
4. Execute the EZ-Activador typing the .exe name and pressing enter. In the picture, typing Ativador.exe and pressing enter.

5. When EZ-Activador is running, verify with button "Check" the installation of Office 2010.
6. Press the buttons of the different tabs, executing Word to verify if the restriction is gone. If it is not activated, click more buttons until it is finally activated, even try the volume keys option for Word. If you try enough, Office will get finally activated (or maybe in the first try :D).
