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
Disable Office v.X network serial number check
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. |
