    Office 2010 Toolkit and EZ-Activator, can activate Office 2007?

    VL is the best. IMHO cracked DLL is the worst because MSO.dll is a core file to office, in order to stay cracked after an update you have to replace the core library with an ancient, bug filled version. If there was a patcher that patched the newer DLL fine, but there isn't.

    This isn't too bad of a method, works on all SKUs:
    Code:
    Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en"
open Proof.XML in notepad
scroll down to the the bottom.

You should see lines like this...
</Feature>
<Feature Id="SetupXmlFiles" Cost="1248">
<OptionRef Id="AlwaysInstalled"/>
</Feature> 

Just change the line AlwaysInstalled with neverInstalled retaining the quotes...
Save the file and u are ready to go...
    As it is Microsoft's stopping OGA, and as it is OGA only impacts downloading templates.

    1. So if I did this on a 2010 Office Pro + (VL switched), the suite will still update?
    2. Any further tips or warnings of any other disadvantages?
