Download Microsoft Office 2013

Microsoft Office 2013 is out with new looks and features. This latest release of Microsoft Office features a flat and square design and integrates the free SkyDrive cloud storage service from Microsoft. Office 2013 is a trialware, meaning that you can try it for 30 days until you purchase a license key from Microsoft. Please be aware that Microsoft Office 2013 only supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2 and any later versions of Windows, so it won't run on Windows XP or Windows Vista.

If you want to download, install and try Microsoft Office 2013, there are downloadable ISO copies of Corporate Volume License editions of Microsoft Office 2013 available on bittorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network. You can use any bittorrent application, but aria2 or transmission is recommended. In the following examples, transmission-cli can be used instead of aria2c.

However, you may use the product for 30 days without restriction. After that, you need to activate the product to continue using it. Read this post to find out how to activate Microsoft Office 2013.

To Activate Office 2013

Office 2013, also known as Office 15, is the latest release of the flagship office productivity suite from Microsoft. If you installed Office 2013 using a corporate volume license edition DVD and want to activate your copy of the product, you have to use an activation method that may include setting up a KMS server and connecting to the KMS server. However, if installing a KMS server on a separate Windows machine is not a feasible option, there are PC virtualization methods in which you run a KMS server inside a virtual machine (perhaps using QEMU.) There are many packages available on the Internet that help you automate this process.

One such package is KMS nano, and can be downloaded using a bittorrent application, such as aria2 or transmission-cli. The latest version of KMS nano comes in the .zip file called LaNano11.2.zip. Its torrent is available here.

Once you downloaded LaNano11.2.zip, extract and run KMSnano.exe. Remember to disable any antivirus program first. The program will silently start up a QEMU virtual machine with the IP address 127.0.0.3 and run a KMS server inside the virtual machine. It will also try to activate Windows 7, Windows 8, Office 2010 or Office 2012 if any of them is installed on the host computer. In most cases, the program will successfully activate your copy of Windows or Office and quit silently. If you want to monitor KMSnano or check whether it finished or not, press Ctl+Alt+Del at the same time and then open the Task Manager. You'll see a process called qemu-system-i386 running on a huge memory if KMSnano is still running. On a system with a limited amount of memory (less than 1.5 GB), KMSnano may take a long time or even fail.

If KMSnano fails for some reason, you need to take extra steps and do some manual hacking. Use 7-zip to extract the contents of KMSnano into an empty folder, for example, KMSNANO. Then, open a Command Prompt with the Administrator privilege, go to the KMSNANO folder, and type Manual.cmd. KMSELDI will pop up showing the IP address to use (127.0.0.3) and show you a black window in which you see Windows starting. While the virtual machine is running, open another Command Prompt with the administrator privilege. Type the following commands to activate your product.

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:127.0.0.3
cscript ospp.vbs /act

The ospp.vbs script for Office 2013 can be typically located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15. The keys to type with the inpkey option can be found on this page. Once activation succeeds, the QEMU virtual machine will quit by itself. To check whether your copy of Windows or Office has been activated, you can run the Check_Activation.cmd script inside the KMSNANO folder.

Microsoft Weakening? Upcoming OS Battle

Now that Bill Gates has shifted his endeavors from monopolist Microsoft to his philanthropic foundation, once invincible Microsoft is now constantly threatened by the rise of Apple and Google. With its charismatic leader gone, Microsoft is no longer a leader in technological innovation and trends. Indeed, the Zeitgeist of technology is being dominated by Google and Apple. Microsoft is facing increasing challenges in multiple fronts, one of which is the Internet.

The Internet has become an integral part of modern computing. The Internet has a potential to become a new platform from which applications are delivered on demand. Google is dominating the Internet industry based on its lead in the search market, and expanding to other markets such as cell phone industry. So fascinated with Google, people are willing to follow the trends set by Google, buy the products from Google, and becoming bored with Microsoft. Facing the threat of Google, Microsoft is desperate to take over the Internet for which it has unsuccessfully spent billions of dollars and a decade.

Apple has also stole public spotlight from Microsoft. With the help of public craze over iPods and iPhones, Apple has set out a massive marketing campaign against Microsoft Windows operating system. Thus far, Apple is gaining in sales of Macs and MacBooks.

Microsoft is also facing oppositions from the open-source world. The open source trend has released a multitude of free software whose quality rivals most products from Microsoft. Among the numerous open-source software, we can find many fine software that can be used in place of Microsoft Windows. The main contenders for the operating system market are as follows:

• Microsoft Windows
  
  Microsoft Windows come bundled with most new personal computers. Still, many people in business stick with Windows XP, reluctant to switch to Windows Vista because of many problems posed by Vista.



• Linux
  
  Linux is gaining popularity especially in the network sector. Linux is also seeing increase in its user base who's trying to find alternatives to Microsoft Windows.



• OpenBSD
  
  Another group of contenders for OS market comes from the BSD camp. Besides the popular FreeBSD, I am fond of OpenBSD.



• OpenSolaris
  
  Sun Microsystems was once a dominant player in the network server market. However, after its market share dwindling, Sun decided to release its Solaris operating system free to the open-source community. Now people can experience the stability and solid performance of OpenSolaris. It will be interesting to see if OpenSolaris can become a formidable force in the OS market.
