Ugh, I’m stuck trying to activate Office 2021 without selling a kidney. Every “free” method I’ve found either bricks my registry, triggers Defender into a meltdown, or asks me to download “totally legit” .exe files from sketchy forums. I just need Word and Excel for a project—zero budget, zero patience. Anyone know a reliable way to crack this without summoning ransomware? Bonus if it doesn’t vanish after updates. I’m this close to writing my resume in Notepad.
