Problem with multiple copies of Office 2013 in the same account

This week our company purchased five more copies of Office Home & Business 2013. I followed the steps to redeem online and try to activate it. Now the problem I can't add any more license into this account (it already have 8 licenses
of office 2013). How many license can register in one account? How can I find out which one is which one? It is a pain to install a copy of office 2013.    Due to this situation I am sure I had made a misktake and used the same key twice...now
I need to find out which key is reused and try to fix the problem.  Can Microsoft make it easier for us?  Please!!!

Hello friend,
I've never heard the limit of the number for one Microsoft Account, there shouldn't be a limit as I know, and One product key should only be able to activate one machine, if you attempt to use it activate a second machine, there should be a prompt.
It seems you don't have "too many" machines in your organization, you can refer to the below:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/537
We can find the license keys for Office 2013 via a script from Microsoft:
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows 
cscript
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
cscript
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
cscript
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
It only displays the last 5 characters, but in most cases you can tell which key this machine is using.
You may also need contact Microsoft's phone service when you need activation issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
I hope this helps on your scenario.

  • Problem with multiple copies of Office 2013 in same account

    Hi,
    Over the last year or more we have replaced PCs in the office and bought one copy of Office Home & Business 2013 for each. We follow the correct installation procedure and each time another Office Home & Business gets added to the list in our office.com
    account. They all look identical - there is nothing to indicate when they were installed, the PC they were installed on etc.
    Recently, we had one install of Office that refused to start. We tried and failed to repair the installation as suggested, so moved on to uninstall/reinstall. I noticed there was an different id in the code of each of the install buttons when we look at
    the long list of identical 30 Office H+Bs we have in our account. No idea which we should pick, or whether it matters, so picked a random one. Installation finished. I had to phone up to activate as it complained that this was already a registered
    product. Completed this and got Office back working.
    That was yesterday. Today I switched on another PC which was very recently set up but not in use yet and found Office had stopped working on this too. I'm concerned now that the installation download is locked to one particular installation and if so, how
    do I know which one is which, so I don't spend the rest of the year wandering round reinstalling office on PCs and finding I've broken it on another one each time?!
    Yes, I know volume licensing may be more sensible for a business but we don't renew everything at once, and most of our PCs now have a standalone license which covers them probably for at least 4-5 years.
    thanks
    Darren

    What is the error that the Office stopped working for? I wonder if it's Key related. Try running it in Safe Mode to test the result.
    Generally, if you just uninstalled and reinstalled, you don't need to put in the product key again. If you really need to know "which one is which", try this:

  • Server 2012 - Problem with multiple instances of RDS looking to the same license server. Server Pools requiring the wrong servers.

    Hi All,
    I have two domains, prod.local and test.local.  On prod.local, I have a license server living on the connection broker.  I have created a two way trust between the domains so that the RDS instance on test.local can use the license server on prod.local.
     When I first setup the RDS instance on test.local and point it to use the license server on prod.local everything appears to work, all servers recognize the license server.  
    However when I log off and back on, and click the RDS dashboard in test.local, the Remote Desktop Services overview states I need to add every server from prod.local to the server pool.  This is bothersome because the Remote Desktop Services on test.local
    is still functioning, but I am no longer able to manage it.  When I add the servers from prod.local to the server pool I am displayed the setup for prod.local instead of test.local
    Is there a way around this?  Can I use the same RDS license server key multiple times?
    tldr: Using a different domain's license server causes my RDS instance in Server Manager to display the wrong RDS farm.

    Hi Nathan,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
    Please check the required ports must be opened on firewall.
    - To issue RDS Per User CALs to users in other domains, there must be a two-way trust between the domains, and the license server must be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in those domains.
    - To restrict the issuance of RDS CALs, you can add RDS Host Servers into Terminal Server Computers group on RDS Licensing servers.
    - Configure RDS licensing server on all RDS Host Servers in each domain/forest. You can do it through RDS host configuration snap-in or through a group policy. 
    - Add administrators group of each domain/forest in the local administrators of RDS licensing server. This way, you’ll not get a prompt to enter your credentials when you’ll open RDS host configuration snap-ins in trusted domains/forests.

  • Strange problem with SQLPLUS when client and server on the same box

    Hi,
    I have the problem with SQLPLUS when clinet and server on the same machine.
    With client and server on the same machine i am running the command
    sqlplus -l username/password@connect_identifier as SYSDBA.
    With this command, even if you pass in wrong username or wrong password or both as wrong you can able to connect to database and execute queries.
    Once Connect_identifier is correct and trying to log in as SYSDBA ,sqlplus will log in to DB with any username and password.
    How to get rid of this behaviour. Is there any way to do this.
    I am running this command by creating a process in C#

    How does Oracle/SQLPLUS allows any username or password to log in to DB with SYSDBA Privillages? What is the concept behind this.?
    This is explainted in the above mentioned link:
    Operating system authentication takes precedence over password file authentication. If you meet the requirements for operating system authentication, then even if you use a password file, you will be authenticated by operating system authentication.

  • Can someone please tell me why when I order an Itunes app. , do I always get charged twice for the same thing.  It has happened on two different occasions.  Does it have anything to do with having 2 different ipods linked to the same account?

    Can someone please tell me why when  i order an app on my sons ipod, do I get charged twice for it?   When I tried do report a problem with the charge, it said that I can not get a refund on that item.   This is the second time this has happened to me.   Does it have anything to do with having more then one ipod linked to the same account?   Thanks for any help you can give me!!!

    It has nothing to do with have more than one device using that account.
    After you purchase it once, you redownload it on other devices by the following, not like purchasing a new app.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you really got charged twice for purchases the same app twice with the same account contact iTunes again by:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    Make sure that they are really the same app first.

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

  • Problems with multiple copies of each photo

    I'm relatively new at using Photoshop Elements and when I was moving my photos from my old computer to my new one using an external hard drive I got multiple copies when I uploaded them to my new computer. How do I avoid this?
    I think that I had the same photos in diffrent files on the external hard drive and thus got them four times on my new computer. Do I need to sit and erase them by hand(it's 13 000!!) or what do I do. I cann't just let them be, they take up way too much space on the computer.
    How do I do not to make the same mistake again the next time I need to move them?
    This probably is a silly problem when you are used to the program but we are all beginners some time I guess! Hope you can help me...

    You can stack the duplicate images and delete the stack.While deleting the stack, application asks which photos present in the stack you need to delete. The stack can be formed from automatically suggest stacks and then you can stack them at one place. You can try this thing first with a small group of images.

  • Problem with SubmitButton name across screens, which use the same action?

    I am using multiple submit buttons in a single JSP. The problem i am using the same action across 4 screens, and excpet the 1st screen the remaingin 3 screens have BACK & Continue button, in every page the click of back button should take back to the previous screen and continue should submit the options selected to the next screen;
    The problem is i m using to LookupDispatchAction to handle multiple submit buttons, and i m using this for buttons
    <html:submit property="method"><bean:message key="reg.bt.back"/></html:submit>
    In resource bundle reg.bt.back=Back , but i need to pass to the previous screen so how to do that
    Help needed............
    Thanks in Advance

    why can you not store the information you require in the session?
    session.setAttribute("attributename" <attribute object>);
    surely that would negate you needing to pass parameters though the http?
    but otherwise there are several ways to do this, first of all you could simply rewrite the URL, which i'll admit is slightly labour intensive, but it would do the job... of if you really wanted you could put hidden html values throughout your page, and populate them with the data you wish you pass in your request, as long as the hidden inputs are in the <form> there should be no issue here.
    N.B. you are right, i would never suggest using JS for ANYTHING to do with sessions and submitted/retrieving data when you are using a JSP.

  • Printing multiple copies of a picture on the same page

    In the past I was able to print multiple wallet size pictures on one page. Now with iPhoto 08 there seems no option to do this. It appears that the only way I can do it is to make duplicates and then highlight them to print them. Does anyone know how I can choose a number of copies to be printed on one page?

    I am running iPhoto 7.0.2 (341) and I do not see the options that you are describing. I believe I know what you are trying to describe, so let me walk through how I get there. For the record, I am trying to print 5 copies of the same photo in 2x3 size on the same piece of 8x10 photo paper. This article is giving me hope so I hope that someone can reply to this.
    -I select the photo, hit the print button
    -Select the 'customize' button
    -click the 'settings' button and do not see the choice that you describe. The only options in this dialog are for title font, style and size.
    Am I missing something? Did I need to do something prior to this? I am very hopeful for some help.

  • Problem with "Group By" in Views - Not Displaying the Same for All Users

    We have an Announcements List with its only View being set up to group by a metadata category field. We've done this many times on other kinds of lists and never had a problem. But with this list, about half the users can see only the ungrouped
    set of announcements, whereas others actually see the items within their groups.
    Those with "View" rights only can't see the grouped items - but that appears to be a coincidence as I promoted them to the same rights as others who can see them correctly, and that did NOT solve the problem. Everyone is using the exact same browser.
    Note: the users who do NOT see the groupings see only a single category entry that displays only the name of the category list (but not the names of the actual categories within the category list). All the announcements are grouped under that one
    entry for those users. This display looks exactly like it would if the categories had been left blank when the original announcements were created. But the categories are NOT blank, and the rest of the users can see them just fine, and the announcements display
    within their appropriate groups.
    I can't find anything in the View, the List Settings, or the User Permissions to explain this. What could be causing it, and how can I fix it?

    Browser settings are controlled by central IT and are all identical. 
    The only difference I can detect is the second set of users (that don't see the category options) have only Read rights, whereas those with Contribute (or above) rights can see the categories. It doesn't make
    sense that permissions would affect this, but I can't come up with any other differences.
    Microsoft will not allow me to upload images. it says I can't upload images until they have verified my account, but there is no clue as to how, if or when that might happen. If you can tell me how to fix that, I can provide samples.

  • Problem with using two different apple IDs on the same iPhone 4s

    my friend installed an app on my iPhone 4s using his apple ID. Then I created an apple ID for my own use. I then installed an app on my iphone. But, there's a pop-up box containing my friend's ID and asked me to put his password. How can i use my own apple ID?

    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the app. In order to install an app update available for an app downloaded and installed with your friend's iTunes account will require using your friend's iTunes account and knowing your friend's iTunes account password.
    If a paid app, this amounts to stealing. Delete the app that was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account and download the app with your iTunes account if an app you want.

  • Multiple copies of apps open at the same time

    It appears that some documents that have been saved between back-ups are opening from a copy of an app that is saved in Time Machine and not the applications folder.
    In some menus, like in the HP scanner setup, it shows five copies of each app in the "scan to" chooser.
    A little research reveals that the different apps are are stored in Time Machine backups.
    Any ideas or fixes on this one.

    Try ejecting your Time Machine disk and launching the misbehaving apps to see if that persuades them to launch from your internal rather than Time Machine. If the apps don't launch it would probably be a good idea to run Disk Utility and Verify your internal disk and Repair Permissions. If the internal has errors you have to repair it from the Leopard installation disk. After you boot from the Leopard DVD and pick a language pick Utilities > Disk. After you repair the disk repair permissions.
    Booting from the installer DVD forces Time Machine to do a deep traversal so don't be concerned if the first backup after you reboot takes a good long time in the preparing stage.

  • Problem with multiple forms and subview

    I have a problem when using NetBean Web Pack (JDK6, Net Beans 5.5, JSF 1.2).
    1) I created a JSF page (hello.jsp) and a page fragment (header.jspf) inside Web Pack, and let the JSF page (hello.jsp) includes the page fragment.
    2) The include instruction is outside of the "form" element id=main_form() of the first JSF page.
    3) Inside the page fragment (header.jspf), I put a form (id=header_form) with some input fields inside the "subview" element.
    4) When running the web application, the form and its children (id=header_form) inside the subview are not rendered.
    It seems to be a problem with multiple forms on a page and the subview.
    Do I use these JSF components incorrectly? Any advice?
    Thanks

    The forms are not nested.
    hello.jsp
    <webuijsf:body ...>
    <!-- BEGIN: include header -->
    <div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px">
    <jsp:directive.include file="Header.jspf"/>
    </div>
    <!-- END: include header -->
    <webuijsf:form ...>
    From above fragment, you can see the header.jspf is outside of the form element.
