Yes, some love it , some hate it but I had to install Microsoft Office for work.
I bought the full "Pro" version.
It installs fine and the latest update too.
When the online activation failed I rang Microsoft's automated help line and typed in the code given.
Sadly the software would still not activate, saying my Installation ID was invalid.
I've even been on the phone to a real person who I allowed rather scarily to use LogMeIn to remotely control my Hack. I watched carefully as they uninstalled and re-installed but still Office would not activate. They concluded my machine was at fault.
I checked and the About This Mac windows shows a Mac Pro 2008 with a unique serial number. I also did some online research and made sure the Thunderbird Bridge was removed from Network settings.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know of a cure?
Or what it is about a Hackintosh that might upset Microsoft?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
