|
- This activation method activates all Office versions on Windows Vista and later (including their Server equivalents), except for Office UWP apps.
|
|
|
|
|
- This activation method works offline and activates Office permanently.
|
|
|
|
|
- This activation method can survive Office repairs, Office updates, and even Windows major feature upgrades. You do not need to reactivate in these cases.
|
|
|
|
|
- For the O365 subscription version, you can't get server side O365 specific features such as 1TB storage in Onedrive. However, almost all other features and 5GB storage in free onedrive account would work fine.
|
|
|
|
|
- This activation method does not modify/patch any onboard system files, instead it installs a custom SPPC.dll (open source) file for the activation to work. Check further details in below "How does it work?" section.

## How does it work?

|
#### For SPP-based Office:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- As illustrated in the above 1st image, in the Official activation process of SPP based Office, Office asks `C:\Windows\System32\sppc.dll` about the activation status and that file asks the same thing to SPP (Software Protection Platform) `C:\Windows\System32\sppsvc.exe` and returns the message back to Office.
|
|
|
|
|
- As illustrated in the first image above, during the official activation process of SPP-based Office, Office queries `C:\Windows\System32\sppc.dll` regarding activation status. That file then queries the Software Protection Platform (SPP) at `C:\Windows\System32\sppsvc.exe` and returns the status to Office.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- As illustrated in the above 2nd image, we modify this behavior by placing a custom `sppc.dll` file in Office folder without touching system's `C:\Windows\System32\sppc.dll` file and that custom file always returns the message that Office is activated. This is how ohook activation works.
|
|
|
|
|
- You can find the source code of ohook custom sppc.dll file [here](https://github.com/asdcorp/ohook).
|
|
|
|
|
- As illustrated in the second image above, we modify this behavior by placing a custom `sppc.dll` file in the Office folder without altering the system's original `C:\Windows\System32\sppc.dll`. This custom file always returns a message confirming that Office is activated. This is how Ohook activation works.
|
|
|

**How to create identical sppc.dll files from scratch?**
|
|
|
|
|
- Download ohook 0.5 source code file from [here](https://github.com/asdcorp/ohook/archive/refs/tags/0.5.zip)
|
|
|
|
|
- Extract this zip file to a folder named `C:\ohook`
|
|
|
|
|
- Now download these two compiler archives, [mingw32](https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/11.4.0-11.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-i686-posix-dwarf-gcc-11.4.0-mingw-w64ucrt-11.0.0-r1.7z) and [mingw64](https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/11.4.0-11.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-x86_64-posix-seh-gcc-11.4.0-mingw-w64ucrt-11.0.0-r1.7z)
|
|
|
|
|
- Extract both archives with 7-zip in C drive, so that path would look like this,
|
|
|
|
|
`C:\mingw32`
|
|
|
|
|
`C:\mingw64`
|
|
|
|
|
- Open Powershell as admin and enter below command to set the time and date,
|
|
|
|
|
- In the MAS AIO version, these two files are encoded in Base64. The AIO script includes [instructions](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35335273) on how to decode files from Base64 format.

**How to create identical sppc.dll files from scratch:**
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download the Ohook 0.5 source code file from [here](https://github.com/asdcorp/ohook/archive/refs/tags/0.5.zip).
|
|
|
|
|
2. Extract the zip file to a folder named `C:\ohook`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Download these two compiler archives: [mingw32](https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/11.4.0-11.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-i686-posix-dwarf-gcc-11.4.0-mingw-w64ucrt-11.0.0-r1.7z) and [mingw64](https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/11.4.0-11.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-x86_64-posix-seh-gcc-11.4.0-mingw-w64ucrt-11.0.0-r1.7z).
|
|
|
|
|
4. Extract both archives with 7-Zip to the C: drive so the paths look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
- `C:\mingw32`
|
|
|
|
|
- `C:\mingw64`
|
|
|
|
|
5. Open PowerShell as Administrator and enter the command below to set the time and date:
|
|
|
|
|
`Set-TimeZone -Id 'UTC'; $date=[datetime]'2023/8/7 12:00';while($true){set-date $date; start-sleep -milliseconds 10;}`
|
|
|
|
|
- Now open another window for Powershell and enter below commands to create sppc.dll files,
|
|
|
|
|
6. Open a second PowerShell window and enter the commands below to compile the `sppc.dll` files:
|
|
|
|
|
`Set-Location -Path C:\ohook`
|
|
|
|
|
`C:\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make.exe`
|
|
|
|
|
- Calculate the SHA-256 of the created sppc64.dll and sppc32.dll files using 7-zip or Powershell, it would be same as mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
|
- Done, you can now close Powershell windows and correct the date now.
|
|
|
|
|
7. Calculate the SHA-256 of the created `sppc64.dll` and `sppc32.dll` files using 7-Zip or PowerShell; they should match the checksums mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
|
8. Don. You can now close the PowerShell windows and correct the system date.
