Microstoft Office 2010 product key error

I located the Office 2010 product key sticker on the side of my computer. It came pre-installed. When I type in the Product Key, I get an error message saying it is "Not a Valid Product Key". I have double checked that I am not typing the code in incorrectly and I cannot find multiple copies of Office 2010 installed.
This question was solved.

Hi,
No, that is NOT Office product key, it's Windows product key. Your machine has pre-installed TRIAL version. If you wish to continue to use it you have to buy e keycard. I really hate this practice from vendors and ALWAYS uninstall trial software on my computers. Please check the following link to buy product keycard.

You can pay much cheaper for Home & Student version and a lot cheaper with a student id card.

Can I re-install Office 2010 Product Key Card?

I have a Office 2010 Product Key Card version. Do I need to remove it completely from one Windows 7 computer before I attempt to install it on a completely different Windows 7 computer.
Or does that version of Office 2010 always need to stay with the first computer?
If the latter is true, I wish that would have been spelled out in big, bold letters on the product box.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, you can transfer Office 2010 to another PC.
But please note that you must remove Office 2010 completely from the previous PC. You’ll also need to use telephone option in Activation Wizard to contact the activation center after you transfer Office 2010 to another PC.

Office 365 downgrade for Office 2010 Product Key

Hi,
I just would like to inquire if it is possible to downgrade the Office 365 that was purchased from a vendor. The vendor specifically assured us that there would be product keys that would be given and we would be able to use it in on our existing Office
2010 products. But unfortunately, it does not work.
The vendor is no longer answering our calls, emails text messages, etc after he has received the payment for the Office 365.
We are located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Who is that vendor? What did they tell you in detail?
In this forum we mainly discuss technical questions about Office products, for the purchase and activation questions, I suggest you contact your local customer service.
You should be able to find your local customer service number from this link:

Office 2010 Product Key blocked

I have installed Office 2010 again on a rebuild of Windows 7 and when I try to change the
product code so that it is activated it locks up. When I go to your site and put in the product
code it says it is blocked.
I bought the product with a new computer and it worked for a long time. Now with rebuilding Windows 7
and reinstalling office the code is blocked.
How do I get it unblocked without playing lots of games and filling many forms? If I can't I will stop buying MSFT
products and make do with other products, mostly free ones...

Hi,
If you want to re-use the product key on a rebuild machine, please contact the customer service to migrate the product key:

I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,

Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

Microsoft Office 2010 encountered an error during setup: With No error codes/

Hello Everybody.
I am trying to deploy Office 2010 on a windows 7 Machine.. This machine has more then what it needs for hardware to run the software so I know it is not hardware related. At the end of the Install the installers hestiates and begins rolling back and finally
providing "Microsoft Office 2010 encountered an error during setup:" but does not provide any error codes what so ever.
I have tried upgrading, Fresh installs, side by side installs, Safe mode, Clean boot, Local admin accounts and other domain accounts. I have also tried numerous so called "fixes" but still get nothing. Sadly after the 2010 install fails 2007 no longer works
so each attempt is abit time consuming. Any Ideas out there that might solve issue ?

Hi,
First try uninstalling all your Addins include connector to test the result.
If not help, try the following steps:
1) Create a new administrator account.
2) Log on and launch the installer.
If things don't quite work perfectly now:
3) If you receive errors accessing your ProgramData folder, use the TakeOwnership registry hack to take control of the entire ProgramData folder, and if needed, create a "Microsoft Office"
folder with "Microsoft Office 2010 Tools" inside it under %programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.
4) Your error may return at the end of the installation, but don't worry, it's finished and Office is now installed. Switch user (don't log off!) and go back to your own user. Double-check
that everything works. Now, to turn off your computer, press and hold the power button for five seconds. This will force the computer to shut down instantly, which will close the installer with the error without giving it the opportunity to roll back its changes.
Sincerely,
Harry

hi All,

Product Key error on Windows 7 Installation

Why do I get a product key error come up on installing windows 7 on Mac using bootcamp?I recently installed windows 7 on my macbook pro using bootcamp. I used windows 7 upgrade and when i got to the product key enter phase. It told me I had a invalid product key even though I just bought the windows 7. How do I fix this problem?

In order for the product key to work, you must upgrade from a previously installed version of Windows on a device that has already been formatted in NTFS. Boot Camp Assistant doesn’t format partitions in NTFS—it just sets the boundary for partitioning—and if you hit the format button with your upgrade version of Win 7, it will install files until it asks for the product key, but it won’t accept it. Hope this helps. Peace.

MS Project 2010 Product Key Activation Error

Hello,
Our company purchased a version of MS Project 2010 a few years ago and it was installed on a laptop in our office and was working without any issues. However, that laptop recently had a virus issue and it needed to be completely cleaned off and rebuilt.
So now I am reinstalling all the software that was on that laptop. When I try to install the MS Project 2010 for that laptop it says that the Product Key is good and lets me install Project, but when I open Project it asks to Activate the version using
the Key online. When I say yes, it says that the Product cannot be activated because the Key is not valid.
Why won't it let me activate? It is the same version that was previously installed on the same laptop? Please let me know what I need to do to activate this software. Thank you.

smonville1,
I think this is an issue you'll have to resolve by contacting Microsoft directly. Have your key available when you talk to them.

How do I update my Office 2010 KMS key?

I renewed our EES contract with Microsoft and in turn got a new Office 2010 key. Our current clients are saying I have 30 days to activate so I would like to update the KMS key on the server with the new one so they'll pick it up. I haven't found any solid
instructions anywhere so am posting a new question. How do I update the KMS key for Office 2010? What commands do I need to run?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply. That got me a little further. I updated my EES agreement this summer and got new keys, so thought maybe that was the issue with Office giving me the "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." when launching any Office
product. I installed and activated the new key now but am still getting the same error in Office. The error code it gives me is 0xc004f074. Looking into that error it looks like a KMS issue. These were activating fine last year and I haven't made any changes
except just updating the key today, but it was doing this before that.
Here is what was returned before updating the key:

Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key??

I thought... The Microsoft Office 2007 was totally installed in this laptop. (I bought it 3 days ago.)
But once I click the Microsoft Office 2007 Word, it requires the product key?!!!
What do I need to do to use it without paying money?? It is gonna be so bad if I have to pay money.

Another +1 for Open Office. Not only is it FREE, it can use MS Office templates.
Another solution is MS has Office 2010 in beta form right now to use for free (I think its over in June though).
I prefer Open Office since its simpler and not as dolled up as MS Office is. Just my preference.
A word of warning though, the support for open source software is very limited. So, if you ever need help, good luck. I've recommended Linux and Open Office for many of my past clients and all were thrilled about it being free, but none were too happy when they needed help and found it lacking. Although I use Open Office, I can't belittle the value and usefulness of Micro$oft Office. It's a very developed suite of programs that is well worth its price. The sad part is that most people that use M$ Office only utilize about 10-15% of its potential (pretty much the word processing and table creation stuff) and as a result do not see its full value.
I DO NOT work for Best Buy. Whatever I post are just educated guesses or common sense.

Windows 8.1-Office 2010 Product Activation Failed

I've tried suggested fixes from other posts, but haven't been able to resolve this issue...we recently purchased several Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets with Win 8.1 Pro. MS Office Professional Plus 2010 installs fine, but within a short time we get a 'product
activation failed' message in all Office programs. After inputting the MAK activation code, it seems to accept it and goes through finishing installation (which I found odd), but after shutting down the program and restarting and even rebooting the computer,
the "Product Activation Failed" message reappears. I have tried numerous times and even went through the telephone activation which seems to complete successfully without error, but does not clear the failed message. I have attempted running the
activation wizard as the network admin too, to no avail.
We use this version of Office 2010 on XP, Vista and 7 workstations with no issues; only issue is on Win 8.1 devices.
Any assistance or advice is appreciated.

Hi，
As this license issue is related to office, to receive better support, it's recommnended to seek help in the office forum.

Smartview 11.1.2.1 and Office 2010 on Citrix error closing word 2010

I have installed Hyperion Smartview 11.1.2.1.0 on a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server (with citrix xenapp 6) with Office 2010 (32 bits).
when i launch Microsoft word 2010 and close it i get the following error: Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere (normal).
does anyone have an idea what this could be? when i disable the smartview add-in i dont get the error.
I use Roaming Profiles for the users.

Smart View and Citrix is a quirky combination. I've observed other strange behaviors in Smart View when using it on Citrix.
