Microsoft SAM: Used software to get compliant or other option for Office 2010

I wouldn't buy used Office. Chances are someone's still using the software and figured they could make a quick few bucks. Also, while once you hold the product key and media you technically own that license, who's to say they didn't max the activation count prior to sale.
If you're intent on Office 2010, perhaps you could find some unopened Product Key Cards for purchase.

We are still kicking the can down the road with Exchange/Outlook 2010 utilizing Public Folders and a custom application that runs against them. Got hit with a SAM audit and short a few licences of Office Home and Business 2010 (Retail/FPP). As far as I am aware my only options are Volume Licensing Office 2013 and use the downgrade rights or buy used licenses of Office 2010 (Retail/FPP). My research has noted that they no longer offer Office 2010 through Office 365. Any thoughts or concerns?

    how to get WHAT U HEAR option for PCI Express X-Fi Titanium sound card and Windows 7 ? Is it on the basic driver? or do you have to install some other software?
    jane

    You have to install the rest of the software(s) for the sound card. The software is (if it is with the installation CD, though) called "Creative Smart Recorder" or something like that.

    Hello kumar kalptaru, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button. 
    Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
    While on a call - iPhone
    End a call. Tap  or press the Sleep/Wake button.

  • HT2534 I have just created an Apple Id for itunes, it is allowing me to get to the debit card stage but they no longer accept Visa Debit, there is no other option for me as i dont have any other cards and there isnt a 'none' option! HELP!!

    I have just created an Apple Id for itunes, it is allowing me to get to the debit card stage but they no longer accept Visa Debit, there is no other option for me as i dont have any other cards and there isnt a 'none' option! HELP!!

    How did you create the account ? Unless you followed the instructions on the page that you post from exactly then you won't get the 'none' option and you will need to enter payment details - those instructions won't work on existing accounts.
    I tried those instructions a week ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on it e.g. on my computer's iTunes I logged out of my existing account, found a free app in the store, clicked on its 'free' price, clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup, and after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as my payment option and download a free app with it.

  • When trying to use software update, get error NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    I don't know if this is a result of anything I did.  It started happening after I installed the latest version of Garageband.  When I went into that app, and selected one of the instruments, it directed me to use software update to get all the data for the instruments.  That's when I first got the message box.  Later, I uninstalled Garageband, and still the update problem continues.  Obviously, when this problem first occurs, it will have been after installing *some* app, so I have no way of knowing whether Garageband is involved.   I don't think I can update any of my applications until this problem is fixed.
    The full text of the message box:
    An error has occurred
    The operation couldn't be completed.
    (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)

    Try this:

  • Using SharePoint 2013 Document Library for Office 2010 Workgroup Templates

    Dear all,
    we are about to introduce SharePoint 2013 and are looking for a way to use it as location for our Office 2010 workgroup templates. But when I try to configure it with in Word options it tells me that URLs are not allowed here.
    I've searched this forum but saw no thread that has a solution so far.
    So I just want to know if anyone implemented this feature or even has an idea that could work...
    Thank you in advance,
    Uwe

    Hi,
    Based on my tested in my environment ( Word 2010 & Share Point 2013), we can't point to the SharePoint library URL directly with Workgroup Templates.
    Please try the workaround:
    Sync the SharePoint site libraries to local disk.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/sync-onedrive-for-business-or-sharepoint-site-libraries-to-your-computer-HA102832401.aspx
    Set the Workgroup Template to a local drive (to create the reg key)
    Open regedit and set the location to the mapped drive:
    Setting Name: SharedTemplates (Type REG_SZ)
    Reg Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General

  • Using KMS for Office 2010 on Windows Server 2012R2

    Hi,
    We are migrating our old KMS server til 2012 R2. As far as I can find out KMS on 2012 R2 is only supported for Office 2013? Trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 Volume License Pack show "operating system not supported"
    Somebody knows if Microsoft Office 2010 Volume License Pack will be supported on Windows 2012 R2?
    Regards
    Lars E

    hi Lars again,
    on the volume licensing site, we have the following Details:
    Recent Changes to Volume Activation
    With Volume Licensing for products such as Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Office 2010, and Office 2013, you must use Volume
    Activation (VA). To activate these products with VA, you can use either a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS).

  • IP ranges used for Office 2010 activation

    Does anyone know what IP ranges Microsoft use for activation of Office 2010? We are periodically experiencing "Communication error(0x80072EFE)" when clients are trying to activate Office. This seems to be dropped in the firewall, so I need to know
    what IPs to open for.
    I have looked everywhere, but I can't find an updated list of IPs for this.
    Regards,
    AG

    Hi,
    The error occurs due to a Web filter that is in place in the environment, client installations of Office 2010 are unable to communicate with Microsoft activation servers. This connection is required to perform online activation of Office 2010 products.
    Try adding the following list of URLs to the Web filter, if you will then be able to successfully activate installations of Office 2010 online:
    http://go.microsoft.com
    https://sls.microsoft.com

  • Win7 - Using KMS Server for Office 2010 - How can you query that it's actually using KMS?

    Hi All,
    Our Desktop Support alerted me to an issue in which a client received a pop-up notification about activating Office within 30 days.
    I started to dig into our KMS Service, having inherited it from a prior, now gone for greener pastures colleague of mine.
    I see the Office 2010 key on the KMS Server and there is a corresponding DNS SRV record for the Server.
    Here is that information:
    Name: Microsoft Office 2010, KMSHost edition

    Thing is, I try querying for the KMS status on the Win7 machine and there is no entry anywhere that corresponds to Office 2010:

    Where can I make certain that Win7's Office 2010 is in fact using KMS for licensing?  Is it in the registry?
    Thank you very much for your time,
    Mr Mister

    Hi,
    We might consider to use Volume Activation Management Tool to check the Activation Information:
    Reporting Activation Information Using Volume Activation Management Tool 2.0
    Or we could take a look into the application log for event ID 12288, 12289 as well as 12290. (the 12288 and 12289 should be in pairs: client query-kms response)
    More information, please take a look at the below articles:
    How to determine whether the KMS server is working
    Windows Event Log
    Hope this may help

  • Is there any other option for using internal table in badi

    hi
    i know we cannot use internal table in badi
    but is der any other option
    plz write in d codez too
    with Regards
    Rohan Shetty
    Edited by: Rohan Shetty on May 6, 2008 2:14 PM

    of course you can use internal table in BAdi, do like this.
    data: itab type table of ....
    data: wa type ...
    Example:
    data: itab type (standard, sorted, hashed) table of mara.
    data: wa type mara.
    Or create your own type within the badi.
    types: begin of ty_xxx,
                fielda  type c,
                fieldb  type n,
                fieldc  type d.
    types: end   of ty_xxx
    data: itab type table of ty_xxx.
    data: wa type ty_xxx.

  • How do i get the icloud add in for outlook 2010 64 bit

    I am running windows 7 64 bit and outlook 2010 64 bit. I had the icloud add in installed but it became corrupted, so i removed it, but now my iphone calendar does not sync with outlook and i need to find a way to download and reinstall a functioning add in.

    I have done that. When I try to synch my contacts and calendar I get the message: "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
    But I do have Outlook configured with a default profile. When I follow the rabbit trail of troubleshooting it comes down to checking to make sure the iCloud add in is active. When I check that, not only is it not active - it's not there. Thus my original question: Where can I get the iCloud add in for Outlook?

  • Software To Get Album Name Into iTunes for Nano?

    Some of the songs I own on my Nano have only the Artist name and Song title. Can someone point me to software that exists that can take Artist/Title and populate Album name automatically?
    I just found a great program that goes into Amazon to pull down album cover art for the Nano, but with a couple of hundred songs lacking the LP name, it won't work.
    TIA
    BJ

    Are you referring to something that can download the album name from the Web given artist and song name, for instance? I don't know of any software that will do that and I don't see how an app could do it reliably.
    The problem is that a given song by a given artist may be on more than one album: the original release, an artist compilation (greatest hits), or a multiple-artist compilation.

  • Can I use Product Recovery DVD-ROM from other unit for my Tecra A2?

    My Tectra A2 has become so corrupted that I want to put it back to whn it was purchased. I can't find the Product Recovery DVD_ROM that came with it. But I have got the Toshiba A60 Product recovery DVD_ROM.
    Are they all the same or do I need the exact DVD_ROM for the TECTRA A2?

    Hi
    The answer is no. every recovery image is created separately and contains drivers for specific hardware infrastructure. Better way is to use Microsoft installations CD and later install all drivers, tools and utilities alone. All this stuff you can find on Toshiba download page.

Maybe you are looking for
