Disable Office v.X network serial number check
Would it be possible to tell me step by step how to do this? I'm fairly new to Mac.
Disable Office v.X network serial number check
To make the file in terminal, type the following one line at a time (<return> means hit the return key) at the command line:
cd /etc <return> sudo vi rc.local <return> At this point you will be asked for your administrative password. Type it in and hit the <return> key. Once the file is open, hit the <i> key on your keyboard and paste or type in the following (provided in voldenuit's post above): #!/bin/sh # block serial check for M$ Office: /sbin/ipfw add 0 deny udp from any to any 2222 When you have finished pasting or typing them in, hit the <esc> key on your keyboard followed by the <shift> <:>, <w>, and <q> keys, then hit <return>. Make sure to set the file ownership and permissions as voldenuit suggests by typing in the following one at a time followed by a <return>: sudo chown root:wheel /etc/rc.local <return> sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.local <return> That should do it. You probably don't want to enable the root user in terminal for any of this, but just in case: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290 For help learning commands for the basic shell editor "vi": http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html

I know this is an old hint but I am in a situation where I'm still using Office v.X and voldenuit's + boydwick's posts where fantastic in resolving this issue. |
