Microsoft has quietly axed the Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program, no longer requiring that Office users validate their software prior to downloading add-ins or templates. According to Nokia’s knowledge base article, the OGA “has been retired” though no reason for its demise is given. Meanwhile, the Office Notifier plus Microsoft’s two OGA browser plugins – Internet Explorer’s OGA ActiveX control and Firefox’s OGA plugin – have also been dropped.
