Fortunately, the open-source Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) project offers a robust and effective way to bypass these activation hurdles.
How MAS Addresses Activation Issues
MAS provides various activation methods, including HWID (Hardware ID) for permanent Windows activation, and Ohook/TSforge for Office. When facing error 0x80072F76 Office 2024, MAS can leverage these methods to establish a legitimate activation state for your Office suite. For Office, the Online KMS method within MAS is particularly effective, simulating a KMS server connection to activate your product for an extended period, which can be renewed automatically.

Getting Started with Microsoft Activation Scripts
