I want to install MAS to my clubhouse’s computer so I can share MS Office with our member, but I wonder if it’s really safe.

Some people on Reddit say that it’s a trojan

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/16rdsc4/regret_using_microsoft_activation_scripts/

They say that I can check the source code since it’s open sourced, but I’m not sure. It’s too complex, and downloading several files inside a script. I haven’t checked yet but it can be downloading some blobs, idk.

Also the domain of the official page sounds suspicious… “mass grave”??

Edit: I use Debian btw

    Is this something that OnlyOffice could solve? They aim for strict compatibility with MS Office IIRC and it’s been working really well for me.

      I’ve tried using OnlyOffice before, but it failed to open an Excel file properly
