Project 2010 Product Key Not validating

Used the trial version of 2010, bought a 'used' license from Amazon reseller, but product key will not validate.  Any ideas about cause??  Perhaps Trial Version is still causing issues with new key???  (Windows 7, 64bit)

"Used" licenses are ones that have already been validated by another user.  You might have bought a copy that you can't validate which would explain your problem.  When you try to validate there is a choice between validating on-line or through
an 800 number.  Call the number and see if they will validate the version you have. Ellen Lehnert, PMP, MCT [email protected] www.lehnertcs.com Training/Consulting/Author

  • 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.
    - Sarah

    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.

  • Product key not valid error while installing CRXI

    Post Author: JSC
    CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
    I purchased CRXI a few months ago, but waited till I had my new hard drive in place before.
    At the "user information dialog I entered the only product key code I could find in the case, attached to the third CD pocket in the case.
    Result:   "Product key code XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX is not valid or has expired."
    However I can see now that it is the activation code for "Cyrstal Reports Server XI R2"
    There are stickers in the case with a shorter code "14-5XXX8-0XXXXE"  I had also tried this code, but the error is the same.
    I hope I don't need an ealier vesrion of CR in place.  I hace CR9, however it is not here with me at this time.
    Any ideas

    I think you still have to install a profile on the device with that type of license... no?

  • DontSaveSensitive; Key not valid for use in specified state error

    I initially had my packages set to 'EncryptSensitivewithPassword' and usedthe config files.  My job executes fine.  But I noticed I was getting THE error "......Key not valid for use in specified state.....".  So, I change the protection level
    to 'DontSaveSensitive' , saved packaged ,build and re-imported it.  And I still get the same result.

  • 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.

    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.
        http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/buy/product-key-​card-FX101850744.aspx
    You can pay much cheaper for Home & Student version and a lot cheaper with a student id card.

  • "Key not valid for use in specified state" after IIS Reset?

    I have had a ton of issues with the System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Key not valid for use in
    specified state. error. This seems to only occur now when IIS is reset and I try to resume my browsing session. So I am logged into the application, I reset IIS on the server, refresh the page and see the error.
    I am building an application in .NET 4.0 MVC with a Secure Token Service that is using WIF 4.0. Everything works as expected, except this case. I even tried to use a custom error page, but the error is happening there as well. Because of that, I can't get the
    custom page to show either. One thing I noticed is that if I switch my IIS APP Pool user back to Network Service account it doesn't throw the error any more. We have some restrictions (mostly network related) in the application that we need to use an account
    in our AD for the app pool sections
    Anybody have any experience with this issue?

  • Fatal Error During Solution Center Install - "Key Not Valid for Specified State"

    I have encountered an error while trying to install HP Solution Center for my J6480 All-In-One.  The software I'm installing is "OJJ6400_Full_10.exe"
    I can get past the installation option selections (i.e., the screens that allow selection of which components you want installed) as well the online check for updates to the software.  However, shortly after that I get a fatal error the full text of which are:
    Error Situation Code: 23551631
    The following lines were retrieved from the installation error logs.
    Now Launching=X:\hpzmsi01.exe -m dot4wrp "-*"

    Hey @redleader74,
    At this time I am going to have you unlock the hidden System Administrator Account and attempt an install under there. Ideally, if everything installs fine you should be able to log back into your normal User Account and the complete software and driver package for your HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer will be installed and functional. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    Click on your Start menu
    Select All Programs
    Select the HP folder
    Select your HP Officejet
    Select Uninstall
    Please follow any onscreen prompts to complete the uninstall. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clear Temp Files:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
    When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
    Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
    Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
    Step 3: Unlock System Administrator Account:
    Click on your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
    CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    When your computer comes on log into the new Account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator Account we just unlocked
    Step 4: Install Device:
    Under the Administrator Account please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer.
    Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to install your printer
    Once the installation is complete, please test the functions of your HP Officejet to ensure that everything is functioning properly now. If everything installs fine, log out of the Administrator Account and back into your normal User Account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your Account. Once you're logged into your User Account please test your HP Officejet again to verify that your print and scan functions are still working.
    If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator Account.
    Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
    CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Outlook 2013 - Password change breaks S/MIME Certs "An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."

    AD password change comes up, user changes password.
    Tries to send signed or encrypted email with a Comodo S/MIME certificate, and gets the following error:
    ""An error occurred in the underlying security system.  Key not valid for us in specified state."
    I now have two reports of this error - one on Windows 7, and one on Windows 8.0 (remote user).
    The one on Windows 8.0, we tried removing their S/MIME cert from Outlook/Windows and re-adding, this did NOT resolve the issue.
    Plan was originally to have the 8.0 user ship their machine in, and wipe it, since nothing else could fix it and I wasn't finding anyone else with the same issue.  Now that I've got a second user with the same issue, its looking like a bug/issue and
    not a random glitch.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help with this!

  • ERROR: "key not valid for use in specified state" when updating to Lightroom 5.6 in Win8.1

    While doing a routine update from Lightroom 5.5 to v5.6 in Win 8.1, the installation halted at the start of the installation with the vague error message, "key not valid for use in specified state".  Although v5.5 was working just fine, the install routine deleted the v5.5 application files.  I rolled back to the previous system restore point (set just prior to the install) and recovered the executable files.  However, now the 5.5 files won't open the default catalog, none of the backups, or even create a new catalog.
    As v5.x was purchased as an update to v4.x, I've tried to reinstall the original Lightroom v4.x app from the factory disk.  I get the same error.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks. Dan

    I have a similar problem to Dan. while doing a routine upgrade from Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 I got the
    : "key not valid for use in specified state"
    error and now Lightroom has completely disappeared. I've tried to uninstall, but there is nothing to uninstall. Going back to try to install the original 5.4 just results in the same error.
    A problem may have been that I closed Lightroom when the upgrade started to download. It then re-opened again when the install was halfway through., I assumed that was an error and closed it. just after that the error first appeared in the installer.
    I still had an older version of lightroom 4 installed. I've uninstalled it, and that didn't make any difference.
    I've also tried removing anything in the registry left over from the old installs and that didn't help either.
    Any suggestions?

  • Reporting Service Integration mode and Key not valid for use in specified state

    I had to uninstall SharePoint Foundation 2013 and reinstall it.
    What I have done:
    I uninstalled SharePoint and after that I removed all databases.
    I reinstalled SharePoint Foundation 2013 and it completed without errors.
    Everything else is working, except SSRS in Sharepoint Integrated Mode.
    If I check Central Administration - Manage services on server, I can found out that SQL Server Reporting Service Service is
    "Started". But if I try to create new service application (SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application), it gives me an error message:
    "Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009000B)"
    I uninstalled SSRS in Sharepoint Integrated Mode and I reinstalled it but problems exists.
    It seems that "Encryption Keys" cause this problem.
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/955757
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156010%28v=sql.110%29.aspx
    I tried to Re-create Encryption Keys and Delete keys, but its not working either. It gives me only error message that:
    "Unable to locate the Reporting Server Windows service for instance MSSQLSERVER."
    I don't have any reporting server databases, because I removed all
    databases when I uninstalled SharePoint. Also I don't have Encryption
    Keys backups.
    I have found several similar question but no answer, example here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/df02dc05-5ce8-499d-9ba3-ab392a5fc3af/sharepoint-2013-ssrs-application-error-key-not-valid-for-use-in-specified-state-exception?forum=sharepointdevelopment
    Any ideas how I can fix this problem?

    Hi,
    From the Reporting Server Configuration Manager you have to restore the encryption key.
    Please try to delete databases(reportserver & reportservertempdb) and delete the reportserver and reports site on IIS. Then you have to start over the configuration again.
    If the issue still exists, Please check ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log locates in
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS"
    More information about SQL Reporting services Installation with SharePoint 2013 for your reference:
