How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

New computer.. Product key for Microsoft Office?

I recently purchase a new notebook assuming Microsoft Office would be installed and ready to use. It is installed but asks for a product key to use. I did not receive a product key with any of the paper work for the computer. Is this program not included already, or do I need to buy the program?

There is no such thing as a trial anymore so that is incorrect. IT has Word started on it which allows you to use basic functions of word and excel. You don't get an actual code as it is just the basic use of it, not like a full version.

Where can I find the Product Code for Windows Office Home Edition after a recovery? Without disk.

I had to conduct a Factory Recovery on my notebook. Everything loaded correctly. When I opened Windows Office Home Edition it asked for a product code. I don't know where that is located, it came already installed on the computer. I looked through the original paper work that came with the laptop and can't find any information.
Please help, I have much work to do.

If it came pre-installed as the full version, then you should have received the product code with your paperwork when you purchased the notebook. Unfortunately there is no way to recovery the product key from the previous version of Windows that you had installed.

Where can I find the product key for Microsoft Office 2011 that I purchased on line?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the Maverick operating system and now I have to enter the product key when I try to open MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Where can I find the product key in my mac?

Yet another example as to why you should always purchase software on disk whenever possible.

Does Microsoft provide list of patch name, kb number, patch and product code for released hotfixes?

Hi,
I'm looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name, e.g.:Patch Code : {97EBAE10-0D01-458E-BBD7-74ADBE8A51C9}
Product Code : {90140000-006E-0409-1000-0000000FF1CE}
Patch Name : Hotfix for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2459117)
Does Microsoft provide such list? Where and how can it be obtained? if not is there a way to generate such list from hotfixes installed on specified computers?Regards,Grzegorz

looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name,
At one point that information could all be found in a huge XML file to support MBSA and HFNetChk by Shavlik. I haven't looked at the most recent implementation of MBSA but I do know that a later implementation of MBSA forced Shavlik to drop support
for HFNetChk. I don't know if they have done anything as a substitute.
Here's a description of what I remember (though 2009 sounds later that I would have guessed.)

Probably someone on the MBSA forums will have better information for you.

LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office says "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed"

I have downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. The examples for the Help get many errors, including "The subVI is not executable. You must fix all errors in the subVI before this VI can run." and "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed".
I selected that I wanted to evaluate the toolkit instead of putting an activation code during installation. Installation went OK.
How can I get the examples in this LV Toolkit to Run so that I can evaluate it?

Also when I place the MS Office Report function in my block diagram, I get: "Unable to View Properties" popup message and no Contextual Help on the function.
How can I get these RGT function to work properly so that I can evaluate the toolkit?

National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :
http://www.ni.com/labview/report_gen_toolkit.htm

It is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

Does Time Machine/Migration Assistant successfully transfer software licenses for Microsoft Office and Adobe?

I have a MacBook that I purchased in late 2007. It's been very good to me over the years. However, I'm been having various minor issues, and tonight I noticed that the screen goes to black at about 45° as I'm closing my laptop. In other situations I'd try to fix this myself, but right now I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural South America and have limited access to the right tools, much less replacement parts. So instead I'm taking it as a sign that my trustworthy companion is about to give up the ghost and I should get a new computer now, instead of completely running this one into the ground and potentially losing important documents, photos, &c.
My question is simple: Does Time Machine and/or Migration Assistant successfully transfer licenses for Microsoft Office 2011 and for Adobe software?
My software installation disks are in a box in a basement in the United States. And since I'm not quite sure which box it is (last summer I did not see the need to label my own boxes), I'm not going to ask some unsuspecting friend or family member to dig through all my posessions to find an alphanumeric code or two, especially if I can just transfer/migrate the license without it.
Many thanks.

Try the combo update on the old machine.

Extentions for Microsoft Office 2007

The instructions for configuring the desktop say....
"The plug-in requires Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows (or later) versions of Excel and Word."
The (or later) can only be Microsoft Office 2007, which I have installed.
The actual download page for the extension install file does not say "or later).
I tried to install and it failed saying the I did not have Office 2003 installed. That is correct, I have Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007. So the information in the disk configuration instructions must be wrong.
Does anyone know whether the extentions will be made available for Word and Excel 2007, or even if they are needed?

Hi,
There is a new version of the Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management for Microsoft Office which works with Microsoft Office 2007. You can download the new version of the plugin from http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/rightsmanagement/extension/downloads.html.
Before installing the plugin you have to uninstall the previous installed version and also quit any running Microsoft Office programs.
After the installation is complete, you will have to manually configure the plugin to work with the Adobe Document Center. To do this:
* Launch one of the Microsoft Office applications.
* Click on the newly installed tab called "Adobe Rights Management".
* Click on the "Choose Server" button in the tab. You will see there is an existing pre-configured server.
* Select the pre-configured server and click on the Edit button. In the name field enter "Adobe Document Center", in the Server Address Field enter "pdf-policy.adobe.com" and in the Port field enter "443"
* Next click on the "Connect to this Server" button. This will prompt you to login to the server. Enter your Adobe Document Center username and password in this field.
* Once login is successful there will be a message that the server has been successfully configured. Select the new Adobe Document Center entry in the Server Configuration dialog and make this entry the default by clicking on the "Set Default" button. This will complete the configuration.
You can now use the Adobe Document Center to secure Office 2007 file formats using the Secure button on the Adobe Rights Management tab.
Please let me know if you have any trouble.
Thanks

Having problem getting the student deals email for Microsoft Office. Please help.

I tried to sign up for the college deals to receive a student discount on Microsoft Office Mac 2011. I was told to buy it now full price, go home, & wait for Best Buy to email the code and I could bring it in & they'd refund the difference. Was assured that a code existed. Found out my school offers it for 50% less than you charge but I can't return it. Your staff is hilariously unaware of how to deliver answers or results that right this situation. Please fix this situation. We're talking about a 50% difference here and I was simply doing as instructed by the brick and mortar folks as well as the phone 'support'.

Hi JosephCurtisBrown,
I’m all for saving money whenever possible and signing up for our College Student Deal program is a great way to do so. It’s disappointing to hear you didn’t receive your coupons as quickly as anticipated though, especially if we failed to honor our agreement to refund the difference once you received them. As I’d hate for something like this to happen to me, I appreciate the opportunity you’ve provided us to review your request.
While our store associates were correct in that we cannot return opened software in accordance with our Return and Exchange Promise, I’m a little confused about your situation, as our current offers do not include any sort of discount for Microsoft Office software purchases (offers found here). Having said this, I’m sending you a private message to gather some additional information from you. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner.
Thank you for posting,

Does the autosave and versions features in OS X Lion work for Microsoft Office or just for iWork?

Will the new OS X Lion autosave and versions feature work for Microsoft Office (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint) or does it just work for iWork?

M…oSoft didn't embed the Lion's new feature in its applications.
So, the truth is that M…oSoft products are unable to use them.

How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
Thanks for reply!
YangAfreet

Hi yangafreet
You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.
