MS Office 2010 upgrade Home and Student to Home and Business

Hello,
I have to change Office versions on a couple of computers from Home and Student to Home and Business. I intend to uninstall the current versions then install the new ones. Presumably the license keys "liberated" can be reused on other computers. Is that
correct?
As far as I can tell, MS provides no way to recover a key. There are several utilities on the net that claim to do that. How reliable are they?
Thanks in advance
Philippe

Hi,
For a preloaded Office version you can locate the product key on you computer.
If you purchased a Product Key Card, please locate the key on it.

More information about licenses usage:
Q:Can I install Office Home and Business 2010 and Office Professional 2010 on more than one PC?
A:It depends on what you purchase—a Traditional Disc or Product Key Card. If you purchase a Traditional Disc retail license of Office Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010, the retail license terms allow you to install, activate, and use Office
Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010 on your primary PC and your portable device such as your laptop. This license is for your use exclusively.
If you purchase an Office 2010 Product Key Card, you can only activate and use the suite on one PC or device. For more information on the license you have purchased and to obtain an overview of your licensing agreement, visit the
Microsoft Software License Terms (MSLT)

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • New win 7 office 2010 upgrade won't open emailed attachments

    after upgrading a system from vista/office xp to win7/office2010, emailed attachments wont open in word or excel("corrupt file error") from outlook mailbox. when retrieving the same emails from a webmail application, attachments wont open if retrieved
    by IE, but will open properly if retreived by firefox. I suspect some kind of permissions/protection problem rather than the "corrupt file" error message I'm getting, but can't identify the source of the problem.

    Hi,
    Thank you for contacting Outlook IT Pro Discussions Services. 
    From your description, I understand that after upgrading the system to Windows 7 and installing Office 2010, you are unable to open the attachments in Outlook, and
    receive an error “corrupted file”. When trying to open the same email message in the Web Email application by using IE, the attachment cannot open. However, it can be open if you are using Firefox. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel
    free to let me know.
    Before we go further, I would like to confirm if this issue only occurs with the Word or Excel attachment. Can you open other types of attachments, such as notepad?
    If this issue only occurs with the Word or Excel file, this issue can occur when the file association of the Word or Excel file is wrong or missing. Let’s try
    the steps below to re-associate the Word and Excel file:
    =============
    1.      
    Please go to
    Start \Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations.
    2.      
    Locate the files .doc, .docm,.docx, .dot, .dotm, check if there are associated with
    Microsoft Word. If not, highlight the file and click the
    Change Program button. Choose Microsoft Word from the list. If you are unable to see Microsoft Word from the list, click the
    Browse button. Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14, and choose
    Word.exe.
    3.      
    Click
    OK to save the settings.
    4.      
    Similar steps to locate the files .xls, .xlsm, .xlsx. Make sure they are associated to Microsoft Excel.
    Check the results again. If the problem persists, please also reset the IE settings and set IE as the default browser.
    ============
    1.      
    Start Internet Explorer.
    2.      
    On the
    Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    3.      
    On the
    Advanced tab, click Reset.
    4.      
    In the
    Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset to confirm.
    5.      
    Click the
    Program tab. Then, click Set your default programs.
    6.      
    Highlight
    Internet Explorer on the left.
    7.      
    Click
    Set this program as default.
    8.      
    Click
    OK.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
    you, please feel free to let me know.

  • How to disable Office 2010 Upgrade Policy prompts for users in a Remote Desktop environment

    I have deployed Office 2010 to our Terminal Server.
    When users login to their Remote Desktops and start Office apps they are greeted with making choices for Upgrade Policies:
    Recommended
    Only Updates
    Don't Make Any Changes
    How can I centrally manage this policy and disable this prompt for users?

    Hi,
    From the description, what you mentioned is the Opt-in or First things first prompt when you launch Office program for the first time.
    If you want to disable the prompt, we can use Office Customization Tool or Group Policy to achieve this goal. For more information, please refer to the following blog:

  • MS OFFICE 2010 Upgrade - what client software Should be installed ?

    Hello All,
    We are soon Upgrading from Windows 2003 to Windows 2010. Can you please let me know what client software should be installed?
    Current Setup
    Excel 2003 - Essbase excel add in - Release 9.0
    Server - Sun solaris 64 bit - Release 11.1.1.3
    Target Setup
    Excel 2010 - Essbase excel add in - *( ?? what version should be installed here)*
    Server - Sun solaris 64 bit - Release 11.1.1.3 ( Will remain same)
    also can you please let me know if i have to upgrade any client related software at server side ??
    I have seen a latest version of client software 11.1.2. is this backward compatible with 11.1.1.3 version which i currently have at server side.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Smart View 11.1.1.3.500 and Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In 11.1.1.3.500 are supported on excel 2010, so you just would need to install them on the client machines.
    Cheers

  • Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

    The interface is terrible and can't be changed.  Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on.  The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time.  From a 'privacy
    standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive.  It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'.  It needs to be completely
    scrapped.
    The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft.  (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website... 
    out of the frying pan...   )
    When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
    frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
    The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
    The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous. 
    An example: 
    Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so). 
    I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
    in line and become impossible to track.
    I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
    I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
    to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
    the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
    As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products.  This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity". 
    Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'.  Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
    (hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time.  This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
    or 'beer-pong referee'). 
    It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
    labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
    of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
    3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
    At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
    Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
    paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
    So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation.  I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
    $100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
    Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?! 
    A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
    great) - no... instead,... it crashes.  Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
    Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
    products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks.  I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
    able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
    computers".
    Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad".  The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
    weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right".  The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS.  In that case,
    they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
    Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
    about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
    server solutions, etc. 
    This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
    that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases. 
    Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it.  The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
    'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
    virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
    How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
    they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
    shorter than Microsoft's offering.
    If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
    I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
    and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

    I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
    If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
    Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
    For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
    For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
    For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:

  • [VENDOR BUG] AND OFFICE 2010 issue Taskbar grouping Outlook 2010 and other applications grouping together.

    i am currently using office 2010 and filesite 8.5 sp2 or sp3 and experiencing the same issue with the icon grouping in the taskbar in all the threads i have read the responses state that the solution was to upgrade to office 2010 well that might have been good
    and well for most cases but it seems the issue is still relevant in regards to office 2010 pro plus. We were using office 2010 standard and it turned out that we had licenses for pro plus so we had to true up as per Microsoft and in doing so this
    revealed an unknown issue we had not previously experienced. 
    To get to the point i'm using office 2010 and filesite in conjunction with one another and experiencing the same issue that has been discussed on multiple different threads and unfortunately attorneys do not like to hear answers that do not solve their problems.
    specially in an environment where we have close to 1000 users this may potentially affect.
    Has anyone experienced this and/or found a solution to it in the specific situation i am explaining. (use of filesite 8.5 Sp2 or Sp3 and office 2010 pro plus mainly outlook 2010 pro plus.)
    Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. 
    -m

    Hi,
    When did this issue started? Was there any changes in your side? Like add-in version update? Or other updates?
    Is it possible to disable all the other add-ins only keep filesite enabled, check if the Office is still“grouping
    in the taskbar”? Then we could enable the add-ins one by one. Though this we could identify if there are add-ins conflicts.
    Does this “grouping in the taskbar” issue only occur when we have filesite installed? If so, it would be better that you post this issue in filesite support channel to
    get more insightful support.
    Thank you for your understanding.

    This is an Office 2010 activation problem more than an upgrade issue. I'm just bonding with my new W510 and the Lenovo community. One sour note so far: I placed my order on Sept 29 (the day before the upgrade deadline) for a configuration preloaded with Office 2007 Pro and received a ThinkPad about Oct 15 preloaded with Office 2010. When I tried to activate it last week, the process rejected the product key which I found on the restore disks, which were for Office 2007. I tried to obtain a key number for the 2010 and have spent the last week bouncing between call centers for Microsoft, IBM and Lenovo Canada, US and somewhere in India. That's when I learned about the Sept 30 deadline.
    Why would Lenovo install 2010 without a key to activate it? I would not have the problem if I had ordered two weeks earlier or two weeks later. Last email came from a supposed Lenovo manager who basically told me it's not Lenovo's problem. A front line Microsoft rep told me it's not Microsoft's problem if Lenovo preloaded 2010. I don't want to return everything let alone eat a restocking fee. Any suggestions? Seems contact info for a higher level Microsoft rep might be the best bet, if Lenovo doesn't want to intercede for me. Many thanks. 

  • Unable to get Office 2010 updates

    Dear Team

  • How to migrate Office 2010 Pro application most recently opened document (MRU) to Office 2013 applications

    I am upgrading from Office 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro. In my test, we discovered that the MRUs are not getting migrated over from the Office 2010 Pro applications into the Office 2013 Pro applications.   I am using the Microsoft
    Office 2013 OCT to do the configurations.  In the OCT, I have "migrate user settings" checked, but that did not work for the users MRUs.  I came across the following link
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/67b3622f-5b7c-4c57-b71d-c8c7de6f7da9/office-2010-pro-to-2013-not-migrating-settings-and-recent-history?forum=officeitpro
    That suggests manually creating the Migration key with sub keys like below
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
    "UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d
    "Lang"=dword:00000409
    On the test machine that I was using and had installed Microsoft Office 2013 Pro on, I found the keys listed as follows
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
    "UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
    "Lang"=dword:00000000
    1) I would like to know which is correct subkey ("UpgradeVersion" and "Lang") to use?
    2) Since I am using the OCT, can I add or import them into the OCT add registry entries section?
    Thanks for your help.

    Since you are doing an uninstall-upgrade the MRU list will not migrate by default.
    "UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d means Office 14.0, also known as Office 2010
    "UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e means Office 15.0, also known as Office 2013
    "Lang"=dword:00000409 means Locale ID = English_United_States, and the "Lang"=dword:00000000 means default.
    In this case, you plan to migrate Office 2010 to 2013. thus, the correct one is
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
    "UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
    "Lang"=dword:00000409 (00000000 is ok as well)
    Yes, you may import them into OCT registry entries section, or you may deploy these registry keys before migration.

  • Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports

    I converted an application that had been developed in VS2005 so that it would run in VS2010.  The application contains several Crystal Reports.  Now when I debug the application I can only view some of the reports.  With the others I get an exception with the message "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources.  Please build the project and try again." 
    The ones that work and the ones that don't all have the Build Action set to Embedded Resource.  I have tried removing a report from the project and then adding it back, but that made no difference.  A new report displayed fine. 
    Does anyone have any ideas about what could cause some of the reports to throw this exception?

    OK, here is the link to the thread I am replying to Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports
    And here is what I posted to start the thread that I am replying to:
    I converted an application that had been developed in VS2005 so that it would run in VS2010. The application contains several Crystal Reports. Now when I debug the application I can only view some of the reports. With the others I get an exception with the message "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project and try again."

    As you can see, I have described the exception that occurs when I try to view some, but not all, or the reports while debugging.  I have also tried deleting a report and adding it back in but it made no difference.
    Is this enough information?

  • Office Plug-in : support for MS Office 2010 version

    We tried to use the Office Plug-in that is available with OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.2 for MS Office 2010 version.
    It does not work and throws an error message that indicates Office 2003 or Office 2007 are the versions that are supported.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a patch available for this plug-in that will work with Office 2010 version?
    2. Does OBIEE 11.1.1.3 (Current release) support Office 2010 through the plug in? If not any insight into when Office 2010 is supported by the OBIEE Office Plug-in
    Also, I heard that Office Plug-in and Smart View are going to be merged into a single product in the future releases... any thoughts on this as well.
    Thanks
    Sundar

    We raised a support log few weeks back on this. The answer Support gave:
    At the moment, Office 2010 is not certified against the current release of OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0
    Oracle is planning on Supporting MS Office 2010 on with BI 10.1.3.4.2 and 11.1.1.4.0. No official eta's for the releases at this stage.

  • Win 7 64 bit, office 2010 64bit, acrobat 9.5.4 / pdfmaker does not show up in office apps

    I do not get the Adobe add-in in any of the office apps, nor do I get the covert to pdf or combine pdf selections when I get the menu from using the right click on the file. I did used to get these options. I have done a repair, I have also tried the command solution, nothing seems to work. The add-in are not in the add-in menu in the office apps.

    You won't - Office 2010 isn't supported by Acrobat 9 and never will be.
