Getting license status check banner after activating office using Ohook

[Dusk-Golem]

Hello, just wanted to report that I have been getting the following banner whenever I open an office app on my laptop. The nagging banner was less frequent on older versions of Ohook (0.1 and 0.2. Didn't try 0.4) but from the latest MAS 2.5 (Ohook 0.3) I get this banner everytime I open Office apps.

My office setup is:

I have installed Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Project Pro 2021, Visio Pro 2021. ISO was made using OfficeRtool and ISO type is Office 365 Professional Plus.

P.S: I haven't seen any feature not working or any other problem as of yet.

have you tried using official ISO to install instead of a modification?

OfficeRtool also uses genuine files. It should work the same as genuine.

• In MAS, goto extras and run fix licensing option.
• After that run ohook script and share its screenshot.
• Open office apps and see if popup is appearing.
• if its appearing, open command prompt as admin and enter

reg export HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Licensing C:\Out.reg

• Share the C:\Out.reg file.

Thank you for responding. I followed your guide and for the time being, the banner is not appearing, even after opening and closing the apps for 5 to 6 times, so thanks a lot.

Regarding my previous install and activation, I scrubbed everything using OfficeScrubber script by abbodi and then installed the latest ISO, activated using MAS 2.5 and then after that used OfficeRtool to install the "New Visual UI for office". I didn't do anything else so I don't know what the issue was (should have run the reg command you mentioned prior to license fix and ohook just now). I am still attaching the screenshot and out.reg for reference.

Will post the out.reg if the banner appeared again.

Thanks a lot for the help.

then after that used OfficeRtool to install the "New Visual UI for office".

That may have removed that Resiliency key. Btw, you don't need to apply that new UI option, office will apply it itself after few reopens of office apps.

Alright. I tried opening it 4 to 5 times before but it wasn't switching (or prompting to switch) so me being impatient like a kid, resorted to use officeRtool XD. Will keep this is mind for the future.

BTW, office working perfectly fine now so probably the Resiliency Key being removed was the reason for the banner. Thanks again.
