    I could not get new text functions but could manage to get sort and filter. What i did was:
    1. Ran clean subscription licenses, remove licenses and uninstall keys from officeScrubber 8.
    2. Restart the computer
    3. Ran license installation tool (as admin) from https:// drive.google.com /file/d/1Y4Cpp3Lvp9B6yFWuBVcsvowsq3V5k0XH/view?usp=sharing
    (Obtained from github of darkDinosaur previously, now the github link is not working)
    4. Now run excel, sort and filter function should be available.

    Google drive won't let me download this, citing a virus infection.

    Can you add an option to enable/disable auto activation task?

    I'm struggling a bit here. I'd like 2019 running on Win 8.1. I've tried a few methods so far (downloading 2019VL, and 2016 with the appropriate version number from the first page) and I'm just running into errors. I tried then to make an Iso and run the iso separately with no luck. I've run the scrubber in case pieces got installed, and I'm still seeing "couldn't install, is your internet broken /out of hard drive space" error.

    It will install only if I tell it to be 2016 mode, but I would like the Outlook improvements of 2019.

    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

    That's what I kept reading, too, but I also saw posts claiming success with OfficeRTool so I assumed I was doing something wrong.

    bitdefender still blocks it despite i put the file as exclusions. any idea? i think the active defense only blocks .exe so i need to add cmd.exe to exclusions?

    it should solve the problem

    It works fine. Just need to run OfficeRTool.cmd, not the setup.exe like I did at the beginning. :)

    Amazing tool, just what I was looking for. I wanted to try out the new features in OneNote.

    BTW Office Scrub option takes too much time, mine kept scrubbing for more than 1 hour, at that point I just closed the window. BTW I have SSD.

    hey darkdinosaur, thanks for your hard work.
    would be nice to have a "daily" schedule for auto-renew, is that possible now? just writing all days of the week in the config?
    thanks
