Microsoft has recently introduced the infamous anti-piracy mechanism for Office Genuine Advantage (OGA).

This has a number of software pirates cause much trouble, as it was intended to verify the authenticity or legality of Office productivity suite.

If the computer is running on a pirate version of office suite Office, the anti-piracy mechanism OGA warned pirates with unwanted pop-up window that is displayed on startup.

Since anti-piracy mechanism Office Genuine Advantage, despite dizzying sums of money invested has not brought the desired fruits, Microsoft took the decision to partially withdraw it from the "traffic". Anti-piracy mechanism is no longer subject to additions (plug-in) and templates (template). This means that from now on, we can without any problems install additions or suggestions on pirated versions of Office suite.

It should be noted that the office suite Office is still subject to checking the authenticity and legality. And this despite the fact that Microsoft will not develop anti-piracy mechanism Office Genuine Advantage. Software giant will rather put all their strength on the development of anti-piracy of the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) for Windows.
