Office 2010 Professional activation on new computer

Hello,
I have Office 2010 Professional and it was installed on my old computer, but since it crashed (motherboard went bad) I bought a new computer. Since the old computer doesn't work I can't uninstall Office 2010 Pro from it.
My question: Will I be able to install and activate it on the new computer, as it is the retail boxed version of Office (not OEM or product key card version)?
If yes, can I just select activate using the Internet or will I have do this by phone?
Thanks.

Hi,
you should be able to successfully activate this product.
Try internet activation first, if that does not succeed, telephone activation (automatic) or assisted, may be needed.

Offline Activation issues with Office 2010 Professional Plus

I have a volume license for 17 seats for MS Office 2010 Professional Plus, along with a MSDN license which authorizes us to have 50 seats.
I have activated the software offlline via the telephone. After about six months the licenses go inactive and requires me to reactivate the product again. This has happened serveral times.
The network consisting of three servers: One Domain Controller, two member servers one of which has Exchange 2010 and the other is the endpoint management secrutiy server. There are 17 clients with windows 7. The network does
not connect to the web.
I have been on the phone with support but the level of the help desk has not been very informative. In the 90 minutes that I was on the phone, I was directed to go to various websites, i.e. volume licensing ... these sites were not
helpful. Toward the end of the phone support I was finally transferred to a U.S. representative. This individual stated that I would need to have a support contract in place prior to recieving help for a product that should install and be activated without
an issue.
I do not have a KMS, I'm completely isolated from the Internet and would like some direction on this matter.

Hi, this is a public/community forum, not an official support channel, but we can try to help you.
VL editions of Office can be activated by either KMS product key (the default pre-embedded key) or by MAK product key.
KMS doesn't require any kind of web connection at any time (you could activate your KMS host by telephone activation. Your KMS clients then contact your KMShost only, via your internal network. No internet connection is needed)
Or, you can use MAK. MAK requires you to "install" your CSVLK product key in each computer (overwriting the pre-embedded KMSclient pkey) and then activate each computer. You can activate MAK installations via internet or telephone.
Typically, once an MAK pkey is activated, it remains activated, unless the computer is subjected to "hardware changes" or some form of data restore or recovery.
Although you don't have KMS implemented, you do seem to have enough computers (the minimum is 5) to consider KMS.
6 months is an interesting milestone. 180 days is exactly the timeframe for a KMSclient to become unlicensed if it been unable to contact a KMShost.
Perhaps you could check the current licensing configuration/status on a couple of computers, to confirm their current situation?
- on a computer, open an elevated (run as admin) CMD console
- execute: cd \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
(or on a 32bit OS, execute: cd \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
- execute: cscript ospp.vbs /dstatusall > c:\osppOUT.txt
This will produce the text file, showing all *possible* Office licenses, and the currently installed one should show as "Licensed".
You can post the results back here for us to review for you. (there is only a partial pkey displayed, so nothing sensitive will be revealed)

Office 2010 Professional Plus; Switched laptop, activation does not work

Hello,
I've had Office 2010 Professional Plus for a couple of years now, on a desktop and a laptop. The laptop died, and I bought another one (refurbished). I was able to install and activate my Office Suite on that laptop. Then, there was a malfunction (fan) with
that laptop, and it was replaced under warranty for an exact same model (Lenovo T410); my hard drive was placed in that laptop. My system works now, but the previously working Suite does now want to be activated again. When I try to do that, it tells me that
this cannot be done.
How can I resolve this? With my desktop and this current laptop, I am only using 2 out of 3 licenses.

Hi,
We'd better confirm the usage of licenses with the local customer service in your area:

How do I correct Error 1402 when installing 64-bit Office 2010 Professional Plus?

During installation of Office Professional Plus (64-bit) on a 64-bit Dell PC with 4 GB RAM, installation fails about 75 percent of the way through resulting in file roll back. Display: Error 1402 "Setup cannot open the registry key ('UNKNOWN\Components\DA42.
. .EE8\7E577. . .F4E80')"
I tried registry cleaning (CCleaner) and "regedit" plus Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the 32-bit version of Officer 2007 Professional, cleaned the cache again, re-booted and attempted to re-install Office Pro Plus 2010 but got the same error
1402 message. Clearly, I have not corrected the registry error and do not know how to do more than what I described here. Any ideas out there?
Thank you!

To all that encounter the same problem...use this advice from michelsmith!
I have just had numerous dramas over the last few weeks with Microsoft office 2010 professional plus. My first issue was a skype virus I infected my computer with which stuffed around with security settings and hid all my folders.....then I tried to uninstall
Office and reinstall with no success (as it hid all my systems icons...I'm no computer person so thought this was the best way to rectify it).
Sometimes it would install then would come up with registry errors 1402 othertimes it wouldn't even get that far.
Make sure you run the command as Administrator and copy and paste the above in...then wulahhh!!!
Tried to install again and worked perfectly!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou....I'm never one to write on these things...let alone join up....but this advice just saved me from reinstalling my OS which I was hoping would solve the problem....(phewwww :) )
So a comment saying thankyou was needed...

Office 2010 MAK Activation

I want to deploy Office 2010 Professional Plus to my users and activate it using MAK. I tested the deployment using a startup script in a test environment and the product installed silently according to the settings in the MST I created using OCT. The
only problem seems to be activation - it requires the user to have administrative privileges to activate Office and the UAC prompt (Windows 7 Enterprise) pops up when the user tries to activate. Is there a way to make office automatically activate itself -
either immediately after installation or after the trial period expires? Windows 7 does this 3 days after installation, does Office offer this feature? It'd be quite dull if automatic activation was not available since all the effort in creating a deployment
that does not require administrative credentials from the user would be useless when in the end an administrator must clear the UAC prompt manually. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Guys, I am having the same problem as yours Kathy and Darius, problem in product key activation for Project 2010. It's not working even if you use AUTO_ACTIVATE = 1 via OCT, or changing the reg value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform], I
even tried using the /act, cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:, still I am having the ERROR
CODE: 0x80072EFD and still requires
a Product Key Activation..... Does anyone from you already figured out on how to fix this problem on a limited user account? thanks in advance!!!

End tag error in Office 2010 professional plus

I have my research paper got corrupted some how. When I try to open it, I get the following error:
"The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column: 5119889"
I am using Office 2010 Professional Plus.
I tried to install office service pack 1, but I get this error: "The expected version of the product is not found on the system"
I need to restore this document as the deadline of paper submission is approach fast. I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Seems that you've received an "end tag" error when you open a DOCX file in Word 2010. After installing Office 2010 SP1 as
KB2528942 suggested but get the error "The expected version of the product is not found on the system".
Office 2013 and Office 2010 Service Pack 1 resolves this issue for new files. It will also prevent the problem from recurring with any files that were recovered with the Fix it solution in this
article.
Have you tried to install the hotfix in
KB2528942 "fix for me" section?
If you are familiar with editing XML, you can try to fix the problem yourself by correcting the mismatched oMath tags in the document. See the following example:
Incorrect tags:
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
<m:oMath>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Correct tags:
<m:oMath>
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Note: unzip the source file by unzip tool and you will also have to use an application such as Notepad to edit the XML.
Feel free to post back.

Visio 2013 and Office 2010 Professional Plus

I am using KMS. Both Office 2010 and Office 2013 keys are installed on the KMS server. On a Windows 7 system, Office 2010 Professional Plus in installed and activated. Visio 2013 Professional is also installed, but it is not activated.
I see hits in the event log for activation requests, furthermore slmgr.vs /dlv all shows a 4 count for Office 15, KMSHostVL edition. This is probably correct, we haven't deployed Office 2013 or many Visio 2013 apps. The problem is every time I
open Access 2010, the Office installer runs. This does not happen for Word, Excel or Outlook. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to troubleshoot it?
I tried running the VA client diagnostic tool, but it said Office was activated. I am sure in looked at my 2010 Pro and not the 2013 Visio.
Thanks

when you have a combination of Office products installed upon a single machine, (even sometimes with a single product installed), the Office applications can sometimes suffer a repair/re-registration sequence upon application launch.
This can happen in non-KMS scenarios, and, is usually caused by missing registry keys or a damaged installation.
It can also be caused by updating/patching one of the Office products, since updating/patching will sometimes cause the registry entries to be re-written, which can "toggle" the registered default application.
This is one of several reasons why MS recommend against having multiple versions of Office installed upon a machine.
Try a repair of Office2010, to see if that will correct the registration of Access2010. If successful, then check Visio2013 is still launching ok. Then check Access one more time (to see if launching Visio has disrupted Access again).

Office 2010 Professional Plus Download / Install

I recently completed a Microsoft Self-Audit and discovered that we have an additional 50 copies of Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, MAK. I have contacted customer support via online chat and they have confirmed my key is valid, they gave me
a number to call to continue my quest for the download. Upon calling that number it told me to fill out a form online and it would put a ticket in for someone to call me. The fee for submitting that ticket would be nearly $300 dollars (I might
as well get the next version of office).
I have searched the web for days now and have attempted to download then activate every trial version and have had little luck. I also discovered a page that allows you to use your product key to download a copy of the version you need, however when
trying to submit it it states that the version of office associated with the key does not allow additional copies to be downloaded.
Although my company states they are willing to purchase the updated software I would feel bad losing 50 copies (which close to the number of employees in this company) of office 2010.
TL;DR 50 extra keys with no download page.

Quoting Rohn007 on thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-office_install/microsoft-office-pro-plus-2010/bb1672f6-5590-49bb-a26e-8935dc912b91
OK, you did get the right trial version. Good thing you removed the Home and Student Trial.
I don't know why there is no activate button.
Here are some other download links that should include Pro Plus:

I have tried everything he suggested with no hope. I have a MAK (Multiple Activation Key) that my invoice says is good for 50 copies of Professional Plus 2010, should I have received different 50
keys to activate the same version of office?

I just activated a new computer and noneof my songs will play

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

The error shows a red border around the multiple lines field "Adres" saying that the field contains errors.
We had this issue before with CU
KB2760758, this was a bug and Microsoft has fixed this with Service Pack 2. Now we have the same issue again with this cumulative update.
Microsoft knows this bug and

Procedure to install Acrobat 8 professional on a new computer

Procedure to install Acrobat 8 professional on a new computer?

Be sure you have deactivated it from the old machine. You may have problems with a new system, but you will only find out by trying. If it installs, be sure to do the updates as your first step. Without the updates, you may not be successful. Even with the updates you may have problems, but so far several folks have reported success with Win7 (32 and 64-bit) and there has been a hint of success for Win8.1. Don't bother calling Adobe about any issues as they will tell you it is not compatibile and to by XI.

Activating office 2010 professional

HI,
Is it possible to activate ms office product through sccm 2007sp-1. If it's possible please guide me because in my office maximum machine's are not getting activate automatically so I need to activate manually by product key and also how to check old
printer configuration ie. old printer drivers installed in pc.
Mail Id:- [email protected]

If you created an office 2010 configuration file that included the Key already, you could create a bat file with this command to get them to try to activate:
Cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act
Or if they need the key try:
Cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Activate Office 2010 Professional Plus with MAK

How do I activate a new computer to download Office Professional Plus 2010? I have an MAK but I do not know how to use it. Thanks.

There are two activation methods for MAK:
MAK Independent Activation: Each computer individually connects to Microsoft via the web or telephone to complete activation.
MAK Proxy Activation:
This method uses the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT). One centralized activation request is made on behalf of multiple computers with one connection to Microsoft online or by telephone.
Note: VAMT enables IT professionals to automate and centrally manage the volume activation process using a MAK.
Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations, based on your Volume Licensing agreement. To increase your MAK activation limit, please contact your
Microsoft Activation Center.
