Are you tired of seeing the Microsoft Office End-User License Agreement (EULA) pop up every time you open a Microsoft Office application? You`re not alone. Here are some tips to help you stop this annoyance from appearing.
1. Accept the EULA
The easiest and most straightforward way to stop the EULA from coming up is to simply accept it. This will require you to read through the agreement and click „Accept“ at the end. Once you do this, the EULA will no longer appear when you open a Microsoft Office application.
2. Modify your registry settings
If you`re comfortable with modifying your computer`s registry settings, you can use this method to stop the EULA from popping up. Here`s how:
1. Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type „regedit“ and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the following address: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonGeneral
Note: The „16.0“ in the address may differ depending on the version of Microsoft Office you have installed.
4. Right-click on the „General“ folder and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new value „ShownFirstRunOptin“ and set its value to 1.
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
This will disable the EULA for all Microsoft Office applications.
3. Use the Office Customization Tool
If you`re using a volume licensed version of Microsoft Office, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to disable the EULA. Here`s how:
1. Download and install the OCT on your computer.
2. Open the OCT and select „Create a new Setup customization file for following product:“ option.
3. Select your Microsoft Office product and version.
4. Expand the „Licensing and user interface“ section and select „Remove the option for users to accept the EULA.“
5. Save the customization file and deploy it to your users.
This will remove the EULA option for all users on your network.
In conclusion, there are several ways to stop the Microsoft Office EULA from coming up. Whether you choose to accept it, modify your registry settings, or use the Office Customization Tool, these methods will help you streamline your Microsoft Office experience and eliminate a common annoyance.
