Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 - Activation after hardware change

Have an original Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 software which is licenced for 3 computers.
In the past had it up and running OK on a Hewlett Packard PC and a Samsung Netbook.
When I made some changes to the PC early last year it asked me to activate again, and the process worked OK and was carried out online.
A few months ago my PC crashed, so I took the harddrive out of the PC and inserted it into the shell of another old HP PC, which resulted in me having to activate it again.
Now (while abroad) my Netbook crashed and I took out the harddrive and installed it in to the shell of an old Samsung Laptop.
It is now asking me to activate, however when I try it says I exceeded the number of permitted installs (which rubbish, as they not copied on to new computers while left on the old ones but physically still on the same drive, even if totally different motherboard
etc)!
As it won't activate online it gives an option of activating by telephone, but if you select this option in the wizard the wizard disappears and no list of contact numbers appears.
Obviously trying to call back to the UK to speak to a UK call centre would be costly and even if I get to a person how do I enter the code (that I have) if the wizard is not open to key it in to?
If I call a local number the support will be in Estonian or Russian rather than English and can they support a UK purchased software rather than locally purchased one?
It is a real pain!
Makes you want to switch to OpenOffice!
Can any of you email me at mueller at tesco dot net and tell me what I can do?
Being out of work at the moment I can not afford to upgrade to the latest version, and my son needs to use Office on this laptop for his schoolwork.
I can give you my AAAAA-AAAAA-NANAA-NANAA-NAAAA type activation code if you need it but thought it best not to post it on an open forum.
Thanks, Regards, Richard

Hello Bhatt,
Most probably your PC was corrupted by the Dell software you downloaded. First of all, I'd recommend contacting the Dell support service representative. Also you can try to re-install Office.  
Finally, I'd recommend asking such question on the
Microsoft Community forum instead. The current forum is for Office developers.

  • Microsoft Office 2013 Loses Activation after Office Updates

    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 has been installed and activated on a laptop in my office.  The product clearly states Product Activated under the 'Account' section of MS Office.  Whenever an update related to MS Office is applied in Windows
    Update, the user reports that features in MS Office become disabled and the program ceases to function.  The error message shown was "Trial Period Expired".  I have called MS Support, the Product Key has been validated, the product ID has
    been validated, the MS Fixit "http:\\support.microsoft.com\kb\2739501\en" has been applied and I still have this error.
    Please help.

    Hi eGovJa,
    Have you ever installed the trial version of Office? If yes, please remove it from your PC completely.
    Since this error appeared after installing some updates, you may uninstall this update to check if it’s helpful.
    Please post the detail error message here, I’ll analyze this issue in detail as soon as getting it.

  • Re-activate Office Ultimate 2007 On Secondary Computer

    My Microsoft License Agreement allows me to install my Office Ultimate 2007 software onto a secondary computer (laptop).
    My hard-drive on my secondary computer crashed, and has subsequently been destroyed for security reasons.
    I was unable to de-activate Office Ultimate 2007 from my secondary computer (laptop) in order that I may transfer it onto a new secondary computer (new laptop).
    Can You Help?

    Hi,
    just try installing and activating on the repaired computer.
    (there isn't really a de-activation process, as such)
    If Office won't activate, you may need to perform telephone-assisted-activation.

  • My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT.  How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Unable to login to SAP instance after hardware changes

    Hi,
      We have a central instance and 3 application servers. System board and NIC cards have been changed by windows team on one of the applications servers. After the hardware changes users are not able to login to SAP. All the instances are placed under logon group and the users login through load distribution.
    After hardware changes, we have started the application server and SAP is running fine on it. Now it has response time 0, which is best of all instances. All the new logins are diverting towards this instance as it has better response time of all and the instance is not allowing users to get into it nor to any insatnce. When we pulldown this instance users are able to login to other instances.
    We have treid changing NIC cards and windows team confirmed that ILO is working fine.
    Please help us in resolving this issue.
    Thanks,
    Venu.

    Primary checks - check logon groms SMLG - if the distribution are done and active with all instances.
    also check by login directly to CI without any logon grop and check that all the instances are shown in SM51 by double clicking and checking all work process for each instances look perticularly if all the Diag WP's are free for all instances.

  • This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007

    Hi,
    When I try to open a Infopath related file from Sharepoint, I am receiving the below error. 
    This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.
    Office Professional Plus 2010 and Infopath 2010 are installed in my Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Have executed ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\InfoPath.exe" /cache ClearAll" the command. But still getting the same error.
    It works in different machine. Repaired Office 2010 and Infopath. 
    Please let me know if any solution available. 
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can try Amit Bajaj's method in another thread which has fixed the same problem for several users:
    Check if the default “Form Templates” option in appearing under “View all site contents” page. If it is not enabled by
    default, then you can follow this following steps.
     If "Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features" is enabled but we don't see the default "Form Templates" on the "View
    all site contents" page, then you should use the following steps.
    Make sure they have backup of everything.
    Opened the site http://<your site url> in SharePoint Designer.
    Select the root URL and click FILE >> NEW >> SharePoint Content
    Choose Document Library >> Form Library
    Under options type the name as “FormServerTemplates” and it will create the content.
    Now right click on “FormServerTemplate” and open “Properties”
    On settings Tab change the name to “Form Templates” and uncheck the option “Use a template for new documents”
    Click OK
    Now you should see “Form Templates” on the view all site content page.
    You should be able to publish the InfoPath form with "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser."

    Since this issue is more related to SharePoint, if above steps doesn't resolve the problem, I'd recommend you post your question in the following forum for further assistance:

  • MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

    I have a MacBook Pro 2011.  I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.  No progression bar ever appeared.  It just sits and spins.  I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
    I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery.  From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it.  What do I do???? Help!  I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

    I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing  Mountain Lion.
    Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
    Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.

  • Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change

    Hello. To get right to the chase, I have this envy 15 series laptop. It came with a 768GB hdd, which I upgraded to an SSD (512GB one) Recently, I decided to downgrade the storage back to the original hdd the laptop came with. I was obviously expecting my system's performance to decrease, especially with boot times and what not, but I was also expecting the performance to be the same as what it was when I originally received my laptop, more or less. However, this has not been the case. The laptop's performance has greatly suffered after reinstalling the *originaly hdd this laptop came with* Issues: Boot up times are ridiculously slow now. I mean, so slow that I figure I should go downstairs and have a drink while I wait for it to boot slow. It was never even remotely this slow, before or after upgrading to my ssd. When the pc goes to sleep, it does not wake up. Perhaps it would wake up if I left it alone for a few hours, but I'm not willing to do that, and no one should be. I'm also speaking literally right now. I have to force my laptop off and then turn it on normally in order to boot back from "sleep" mode. I've since had to turn off automatic sleep. If I close the lid to let my laptop hybernate, it does not recover. When I turn it on, it looks like it will return from hypernate, but it does not. It turns itself off. When I turn it on again, it boots normally, but it does so as if I had shutdown the pc and then booted back up. It takes windows a long time to login, and get everything running so that the pc runs normal. None of this is normal. This pc has absolutely no excuse to be running this slow. It never has, and it only started after switching back to my hdd. What I did: I cloned my HDD onto an SSD. In case it matters, I used Acronis true image to do it. Last night, I switched back, and used the same software to clone my SSD back into my HDD. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but there you go. I used sector writes to clone the SSD back into the HDD. I think I did the same to clone the HDD into the SSD the first go around, as I seem to recall having issues with the automatic clone last time as well as this time, but I'm not 100% positive. Troubleshooting steps I've taken: I first ran a complete chkdsk /r in order to fix any problems, and then allow me to extend my C drive for all of the free space my disk now had, due to cloning a smaller drive. I then did a full defrag and optimize on my disk. Finally I ran winsat to recheck my hw's performance, and let windows know that I no longer had an SSD but rather an HDD. This turned superfetch back on, and I confirmed that it was now running again. I'm not really sure what else to do.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-j171nr Notebook and issues with Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change. Here is a link on performance issues. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which has helped others. I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Lens correction filter doest work after hardware change

    Hello,
    Since I reinstalled my computer from scratch  after a hardware change (went from AMD GPU to an NVIDIA GPU)  lens correction filter doesn't work anymore.
    I can open the tool, do the corrections but when I pusch apply, the tool is closed but the corrections are not applied to the picture in the editor screen.
    No layer is added.
    When I close PSE multiple temp files are left in the root directory of my secundary drives.
    This happened with PSE 7 so I bougth PSE 9, de-installed PSE 7 and installed PSE 9. Guess what: same problem, no corrections applied.
    Is this Nvidia related since everything worked nice in PSE 7 with amd catalyst drivers ?
    I'm running Vista32 sp2, with latest directx and latest nvidia geforce drivers.
    mda97

    1) The problem with the Delete Cropped Pixels option is that it essentially eliminates the nicest functionality of the new crop tool.....My suggestion to Adobe would be to enable some way of having the screen view imported into the lens correction filter but leaving the cropped information intact for future adjustments once the image was returned to the main PS window....
    2) The Camera RAW preferences setting adjustment was what I needed, thank you!
    3) The problem with the saving to PSD option, is that even when I do NOT have layers, it seems to default to saving as PSD.  Essentially, any adustment I make, except the most basic, even if I do not have any layers as a result, gets interpreted as needing to be saved as a PSD.  This is categorically different than in all prior editions of Photoshop.  (For instance, whenever I worked on JPGs and I would save a file on older versions, it would simply default to JPG unless I actually had visible layers in the layers window.  On this one, if I do anything like content-aware fill, or use the patch tool or healing brushes, it then saves to PSD by default, even though there are NO visible layers that need flattening.  It seems as if the program is interpreting those kinds of adjustments internally as layers and selecting PSD as the necessary file type to save to as a result.)
    Thanks for your help; if you have any other suggestions for work arounds for the third problem, I would greatly appreciate them.
