OEM Office Home & Student 2013 turned into Office 365 while being helped by tech support

After a recovery necessitated by being unable to open any Office progam I got with tech support. I didn't have the key for the preloaded 2013 H&S version. The tech did some magic by remote access and got Office going. It looked a bit different and I asked if this was the installed version. He said sure, it's all fine. As it turns out, it is the full version of Office 365.
Now I'm getting nagged to pay up before the beginning of next month. I wanted my OEM Office back, not the subscription version. How do I get it back? Didn't get a disk or key with the machine.

Hi @TPG21
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that your notebook came with Office Home and Student 2013. You were experiencing a difficulty with this and contacted HP support. You were unaware at the time but they installed Office 360 and now you are getting a prompt to pay for it.
I do not believe that recovery manager would reinstall the Office Home and Student so I suggest contacting HP support again. Provide in detail the event that occurred and they can pull up the previous case number and see what was done and provide any additional details required.

Can't download the Office Home & Student 2013

I just purchased the download for Office Home & Student 2013 and I tried to download it and it told me that it couldn't find the "setwaitabletimerex" in the kernel32.dll. I have Window Vista. I really need to get this fixed as
soon as possible. Please email me back with the fix.

If you have already purchased office 2013, Consider upgrading your operating system to windows 7 or 8.. That will cost you less than repurchasing office..
Or for vista you can install office 2010..

Installing Office Home & Student 2013

Hi,
I recently purchased Office Home & Student 2013, but every time I try installing it give an error message that MS Windows applications are not supported on OS 7. What must I do?
Thanks

Well, two possibilities:
You are indeed attempting to install that app suite on an iOS 7 device (which would would be an iPad, iPhone, or iPad). I have no idea how you are attemtping this, but no it will not run on such a device. You will need to find the equivalent apps on the app store.
You are actually try to install on your MBP running OS X (not the same thing), but it is the Windows version, in which case the same is true. You need to purchase the version of MS Office for Mac OS X. http://www.microsoft.com/mac

Cant reinstall office Home&Student 2013

I have installed this office Home&Student 2013 before and everything works fine, but after I accidently uninstalled it in control panel and trying to reinstall it, it came up with this "Couldnt start office installation. We're sorry, but we could
not start your office installation. Another installation is in progress. Please try again later" so I tried many times later and still come up with this

Hi,
This issue occurs since there is another version of Office installed on the computer.
Let us remove all traces of Office 2013 installation files from the computer by following the steps from the link below:

Then we install Office 2013 suit again.

Office Home & Student 2013

Purchased Office Home & Student Nov.27, was installed Dec. 3. Everything worked fine. Now Word and Excel don't work. Went to my programs and it shows it is not even installed. Try to reinstall but it won't take my key.
Very frustrating.

Hi,
can you try a Repair?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/support/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx?CTT=1
If Office doesn't appear in Add/Remove Programs, or Programs and Features, an uninstall then reinstall may be needed.

Word and Excel (Office Home & Business 2013) are taking a lot of time to be open

Hi There
i have MS Office Home & Business 2013 in windows 7 Pro .
word, excel and power point files are taking so much time to be open. same with the email attachment.
it shows like "Not Responding"
file size is not that large as it is taking time.
if any body have any suggestion kindly share. i am in deep trouble.
Thanks
Prakash

Hi,
Did the issue occur when you opened the file that stored in the local disk or a network?
If the issue occurred with the local disk file, please try the following method:
Word
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\Shell\Open\Command
Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”
Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
Using FileType Manager change .xls from Word.Sheet.8 to Word.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”
.docx In the Open Command appended “%1”
Excel
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command
Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”
Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
Using FileType Manager change .xls from Excel.Sheet.8 to Excel.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”
.xlsx In the Open Command appended “%1”
========
Next, if the issue occurred with network file, the issue may be caused by the Office File Validation, please try to turn off it to test.
For Excel 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
Look for a DWORD value labeled DisableRobustifiedUNC set to a value of 1. If this is set on your machine, it's recommended you delete this value or set the DWORD value to 0.

Time Machine and MS Office Home Student

I attached a new hard drive to my MacBook Pro and launched TM and let it do a full back up. Upon completion I could no longer access my MS Office Home & Student version - I got a message that MS was already in use(meaning that the license was in use on another computer). I had to erase the back up, de-install MS, re-install MS and apply three layers of upgrades - and then MS worked. I also excluded applications and system stuff from TS. No bootable HD here.
The MS license allows for three installs, each with its own product id.
I have MS office on my Imac and it has a TS back up as well.
Is this problem because MS considers a TS full back up a machine and count it against the license (My IMAC, its TS drive, the TS drive on the MacBookPro?
And advice?

No, MS does not consider a backup a use of the license. You can use a license as often as you want on the same computer. The three serial numbers simply allow you to install Office on three different machines.

Message Error : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed - Office Home & Business 2013 - Lync 2013

Hi,
I have an issue related to Office h&b 2013 and Lync 2013.
Office h&b is installed on many computers, and we are deploying Lync 2013.
In Lync 2013 it's possible to share Powerpoint presentation (if you have a Office Web Apps server installed).
With a PC using Office Pro 2013, no problem. Powerpoint sharing with Lync 2013 is working.
With a PC using Office H&B 2013, I have a message :
"XXXXX.pptx couldn't be converted for presentations because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please
install VBA and try again."
VBA is installed and usable in all Office applications.
Office H&B is a click to Run installation and doesn't permit to add or remove features.
Lync 2013 custom install permit to choose the installed features. VBA is already installed.
I searched in many forums, including this one, and... no answers, or better say, no good answers.
Because :
- It's not possible add VBA from Office H&B 2013 install.
- Repairing Office does not solve the problem.
Any Idea ?
Thanks for your help !
Regards
Stéphane

As far as I know, Lync 2013 is not available with Office Home & Business 2013, you can check

How I can use my family pack Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010 PC software on my current Mac Notebook?

Unless you install Windows on another partition using Bootcamp, or else install it in a virtual program like VMware Fusion or Parallels, you will need to purchase Office For Mac 2011.

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection turns into blue screen while installing disc #2

I purchased a windows version of Adobe in Sep this year.
I have tried more than 4 times, but still can't install the software.
My laptop turns into blue screen and restarts itself after the system tells me to insert second disc to continue the installation process.
I had the extact same version of Adobe installed on this computer before, but I can't seem to install the software again after recovered my computer.
computer spec:
Win7 Home Premium
Service Pack 1
i5-2410 @ 2.30GHz
64 bits
8GB RAM
500GB SATA
Thank you so much and appreciated if anyone or the actual Adobe tech can solve my problem.

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for taking the time to read over and answer my question.
However, I don't think this is a driver issue. I actaully had the following softwares installed from the disc--- Adobe Audition CS5.5, Adobe Bridge CS5.1, Adobe Device Central CS5.5, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.6, Mocha for After Effects CS5.5, Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Adobe Acrobat Distiller X, Adobe Content Viewer, and Adobe Widget Browser.
Before the installation process started, I chose to install everything that's on the disc.
But I can't get the softwares that I really need such as photoshop, after effect, indesign, illustrator, and so on.
Again, thank you for your help,
Kevin

The document suddenly turned into unreadable codes, WHO CAN HELP ME?

Hello everyone
Actually it's extremely urgent for me!
This morning when I was writing my paper as usual, my document unexpectedly turned into unreadable / error codes!! Shocked by this disaster, I rapidly closed the window and reopened it. Sadly, it didn't work at all since the content is now replaced by "********" and every time I try to open it, my CPU gets crazy (100%).
FYI, I sent this doc to my friend, asking him to open it in his MAC. The content keeps unreadable, so now I'm wondering if my doc is completely destroyed...
Who can save me from this tragedy? The paper is of great importance to me, I don't want to lose it!
Thank you for your kind reply!
Frank

There's a slight chance you might be able to recover some of the content by saving the document as text from within Word. If that doesn't work, then there seems to be a whole industry centered on recovering data from corrupt Word documents.

After deleting some unnecessary Apps in my Macbook Pro, I plugged my thumb drive to discover that I can't open my files, which I normally can, because they've turned into ".lnk" files. Please help.

I have files in my thumb drive that I cant open. Inside my thumb drive, I've organized files in folders but I have files I havent put in folders yet. Those files turned into .lnk files.
My theory is, my thumb drive caught a virus from another laptop because I copied files from my colleagues laptop.

There are no viruses for a Mac, new theory required. .lnk files are aliases to a file, what did you delete?

Office 2013 OEM and Office Home & Business 2013 registration

Hi to all,
in our company we brought some Office 2013 OEM licenses and 1 Home and Business 2013. The problem is that i have registered the OEMs with my personal Microsoft account and now i need to register the Home and Business and i want to avoid to register it with
this. Then, my questions are:
1. What is the procedure to register a Microsoft company account.
2. Is there the possibility to move OEM license from my personal account to a the company account ?
Thank you.

Hi,
I noticed that the questions were about licensing rather than Office client issues, please understand we discuss questions and feedbacks about Office client in this forum, we are not familiar with the procedure/migration you mentioned.
