Office 2010 Activation Failure: Unspecified Error 0x80070190

HI. I have MSO 2010 Standard. It has been running fine for over a month now, and today, I am told that I have four days left to activate before it will become unlicensed.
I've tried activating by internet, and all I get is Unspecified Error 0x80070190.
I tried running the "Fix It" program from Microsoft, but I still get the same error after restarting my computer.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi
Did you receive the error "An unspecified error has occurred. Your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later. (0x80070190)"?
This activation error is currently being investigated. 
To activate Office 2010, please use one of the following workarounds in the article below:

  • Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure, Unspecified error.

    This issue is crossposted in Microsoft Answers Word and OUTLOOK.  I am posting here in hopes that someone at Mircrosoft may have a solution or at least elevate the issue to someone who does.

    I dabble with VBA and write and maintain several amateur Word Add-Ins.  Accordingly, I have Word 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 installed on my PC.  They get along fine.  However, I am unable to "Share" or "Send" an open Word
    document as an E-mail attachment in any version!  In each case Word returns an error mesage "Word couldn't send mail because of a MAPI failure, Unspecified error (the same issue occurs with Excel and Powerpoint except the error dialog is a bit different.)
    Using Word 2003, I (CAN) "Send to (Mail recipient for review)" in which case OUTLOOK is opened with the document as an attachment.  I can also "Send to Mail Recipient" from Windows Explorer, in which case the Word file is attached to
    an OUTLOOK message, and I can create an instance of OUTLOOK and send mail from Word using VBA.
    I have repaired all Office versions.  I have removed the registry keys for all office versions and repaired all versions again.  I have run "fixmapi" until I am blue in the face. I have renamed the MAPI32.DLL files and ran sfc \scannow
    to ensure that the MAPI32.DLL file is not corrupt.  In view of these actions and in view of what I can do, something tells me that the MAPI files are fine.
    So what is this "Unspecified error?"  This problem is rife on the internet and most of the "canned" solutions have been marked "Answered" by some MS support engineer.  These "canned" solutions might have
    fixed the issue at one point, but they don't work now.  At least not for me.
    Thanks.

    Hello Greg,
    I noted that there are 2 knowledge articles that describe scenarios where you may encounter this error.
    KB 291152 You receive a "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure" error message when you try to send a Word document as an e-mail attachment in Word 2002
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291152/EN-US
    KB 929362 You cannot send a file by clicking Send in a different program when Outlook 2007 is running as administrator
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929362/EN-US
    Please let me know the following:
    1. What version of Outlook are you using?
    2. Do you have Outlook open when you attempt the File > Share > Email as attachment from Word? If not, does the error occur if you open Outlook, open Word and then try to send the email?
    3. If you close/reopen Word and then try the send again, do you get the same error?
    4. Are you running either Outlook or Word in an elevated mode?
    5. What happens if you start both Outlook and Word as "Run As Administrator". You may have to right-click each applications' .exe file to be able to choose the "Run As Administrator" option.
    6. Do you get the same error when using File > Share > Email as attachment using Excel?
    7. In Internet Explorer, open the Internet Options. On the General tab within the browsing history, delete your temporary Internet files and website files
    8. Does the issue occur in selective startup mode?
    Steps to setup selective startup mode:
    Click on the Windows Start button, in the Search box type msconfig and then hit enter. This should open up the System Configuration Utility. Make the following adjustments within each tab.
    Services Tab:
      - Check the option 'Hide All Microsoft Services'
     - Click on button 'Disable All'
    Startup Tab:
     - Click the button 'Disable All'
     - Go back through the list and enable any Microsoft items
    Click Ok. It will say “You must restart your computer for some of the changes
    made by System Configuration to take effect”. Hit the ‘Restart’ button.
    When the PC reboots try to run your test again.
    To return back to a normal boot launch msconfig again and choose 'normal startup' on the general tab, click Ok and then reboot the PC.

  • RH8 & Office 2010 import Word file error/failure

    We are running RH8.02.208 on XP.  We just upgraded to Office 2010.  When we try to use file/import Word Document we are getting this error message
    Word is installed correctly, and this kills the process. 
    Does anyone have an idea why we have hit this solid brick wall?  And how to get around it?  Thank you!!!

    Hi Teri
    Sorry, but Jeff is correct. Only RoboHelp 9 works with Office 2010. No patch I'm afraid.
    I guess if enough folks screamed at Adobe about it one might emerge, but I'd personally not be holding my breath.

  • 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

  • Office 2010 Activation in new install of Windows 8.1

    I purchased Office 2010 Professional Plus (single user license) several years ago.  Installed it on my HP Pavilion dv7 running windows 7.  Validated the license and install through Microsoft with no issues I had a genuine install and good license.
     Updated to Windows 8 for the low introductory price.  No issues with Office 2010 at all.  Ran the Windows 8.1 pre-release.  Tried to update to Windows 8.1 and it would not update. So, i did a full clean re-install that deleted everything
    from my hard drive and Windows 8.1 installed (great update and I love 8.1).  Re-installed Office 2010 Pro and when I try to activate it I get the "This product cannot be activated because the product key is not valid. Even tried over the phone.
    Help.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi Paul
    Normally if you did not make significant changes to your hardware, you were able to reinstall your Office suites in your Computer with no issue.
    Cause you get the invalid product keu errors, refer to the article below on troubleshooting invalid product key errors in Microsoft Office:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836178
    We can also Contact Microsoft Customer Service, and they will help you to activate your Office programs.

  • Windows 7 and Office 2010 activation issues

    hey everyone
    since a few days we facing really strange issue here within our school. We are running windows 7 machines and office 2010 and all our different machine types is it VDI VMs, physical laptops, desktop computer or provisioning machines (Citrix PVS) are facing
    issues with the licensing.
    Sometimes Windows 7 Key is not installed anymore, sometime it is just not activated same for office. So the KMS is installed with the KMS host keys since years and KMS service is running. Also the DNS Output points to the server
    C:\Users\.........>nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp
    Server:  DC....
    Address:  192.168.X.Y
    _vlmcs._tcp.Domain   SRV service location:
              priority       = 0
              weight         = 0
              port           = 1688
              svr hostname   = KMSHost
    KMSHost.domain  internet address = 192.168.X.Z
    Also when i manually force the machines to update against KMS with VAMT or CLI it is working. What could cause that issues?
    Time issues?
    Scripts?
    Thanks for any clue and advice

    Hi Duke,
    "since a few days we facing really strange issue here within our school"
    Have you made any modifications to the KMS server or the whole environment ?Will the issue persist or occur randomly ?Will it occur on the specific ones or all the machines ?
    There are several specific log recorded in the event viewer when the KMS try to activate the machines .We can try to check the event logs both from the client and the KMS server to troubleshoot this issue .Please also check the Windows logs\Applications
    ,system logs for useful information to troubleshoot this issue .
    Here are two links for reference:

  • Suppressing Office 2010 Activation at First Launch

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a silent deployment package for Office 2010 using the Office Customisation Tool.  It works well, apart from one thing - after the installation has completed and the product is launched the user is prompted for activation.  I
    want to suppress this, and I have heard of 2 ways:
    Add property "AUTO_ACTIVATE" with value "1" to the OCT Modify Setup properties
    Run OSPP.VBS /act, post install
    I've tried both, but after opening the product I am still being asked for manual activation.  I've attached screenshots from the OCT showing the implementation of both, could anyone let me know where I went wrong?  Many thanks.
    Regards,
    Robert

    Right, I've got it working now, never mind!  The latter option, using the VB script, worked, although curiously the setup property had no effect at all.
    Regards,
    Robert

  • Office 2010 Activation Issue

    I bought the 2010 Prof. version and installed it on my desktop, no issues, it works fine.   I also installed it on my laptop and it worked fine until Windows 7 crashed and had to be re-installed.   That removed the Office 2010 along
    with other software.  When I reinstalled the Office 2010 on my laptop I get the usual red-band along the top of Excel for example saying that the product must be activated.  I did this but no luck.  I tried all of the posted fixes, go to uninstall,
    click change and re-enter the Product Key but no luck.  It still says it must be registered but when I try I get the message to try again later.   It also says that it will keep trying to activate.  I can't take the chance that I will be without
    the software when I travel.  What can I do to get around this issue?   The product was purchased from Amazon.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi fishoil,
    Do you activate the two PCs with the same product key?
    You can activate Office 2010 via phone. The phone activation process will provide you with the appropriate phone number to call. You need to explain
    to the customer service center that you activate the two PCs with the same key.You can find your local custom support number on the link below.

    If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

    Hello Everyone,
    I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel.  Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC. 
    Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
    No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
    The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
    Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
    I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working.  I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
    When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
    I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
    I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

    Hi,
    The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
    There are two solutions to this issue:
    1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
    2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

  • Cannot run reader in protected mode with MS Office 2010

    I just set up 6 identical Dell Optiplex XE machines with Office Home and Business 2010 pre-loaded.  Reader 10.1.1 will run in protected mode if it is installed before I go through the Office 2010 activation/installation procedure.  On the 2 machines where Office was set up before installing Adobe reader, protected mode will not work.  If protected mode is not enabled, I cannot go into preferences - general and turn the protected mode log to try to debug this problem.  For now I an running those two machines with protected mode off.  Has anyone else seen this?

    You should always use official documentation for support details but I am pretty sure Windows 7 support was not available for the EAS client until 11.1.1.3.
