Windows 7 - ReARM Office 2010 - Instructions

First you have to stop the service : Office Software Protection
Then run x:\Windows\System32\OSPPRUN.exe (x can be your C: or other driveletter you have installed windows on)
You will have a prompt.
Enter these command followed by an enter like shown below, go to next step
>Initialize (enter)
>Open (enter)
>GetInstalledSkuIds (enter)
0. 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (deze is het ID van Office 2010)
1. 26adec89-edf3-4adc-a3fc-c865f1a9f71f
OK.
> GetInstalledAppIds 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (enter)
0. 59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663
OK.
(You will get something that looks like this)

SkuId = 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a
eStatus = SL_LICENSING_STATUS_IN_GRACE_PERIOD
dwGraceTime = 1D 23:37
dwTotalGraceDays = 30 days
hrReason = 4004F00C
qwExpiration = 2010/10/31
OK.
(What you are now going to do is set AppID and SkuID for Office 2010 to enable again 30 days before activation. That gives you another 30 days to test. Mostly the IDs are the same, if not please copy and use yours

OK.
>close (enter)

You can enter the command below to check out how many days you have left (See dwGraceTime):
> GetLicensingStatus 59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (enter)
SkuId = 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a
eStatus = SL_LICENSING_STATUS_IN_GRACE_PERIOD
dwGraceTime = 29D 23:37
dwTotalGraceDays = 30 days
hrReason = 4004F00C
qwExpiration = 2010/10/31
>quit (enter)
You are able to use it again for 30 days. As with windows, you can do this three times. This will get us to the point where the public beta is released.

Can this be made into a batch file ?

Let me see what i can do

That would be awesome.

i've been using it past the grace period for a good while now. All it does it put up a nag screen. Haven't discovered any other effects.

Does this work for anyone? I get invalid commands/arguments when I run the getinstalledskulds at the command prompt.

Yes it does work but you will probably have to re-stop the "Office software protection" service again at the point just before you type "Initialise" as bellow:-

> Rearm 59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a 1 (enter)
OK.
>close (enter)

(At this point stop the "Office software protection" service again)

>Initialize (enter)




Hope this helps.

c-57e04e1fd5b1
SkuId = 123f5df3-49d3-4015-a2fc-57e04e1fd5b1
eStatus = SL_LICENSING_STATUS_UNLICENSED
dwGraceTime = 0D 0:0
dwTotalGraceDays = 0 days
hrReason = C004F014
qwExpiration = 0

how do I fix that?

It's skuids not skulds
