Visio professional 2013 cant install because office product key does not match

Settings: office 2007 on windows 7
I'm the IT manager for a small consulting company. We use the full microsoft stack - all paid for.
When one of the consultants needed visio we went along and bought an digital version of it.
We installed it and all was nice and dandy.
The consultant left the company, we decommissioned the visio product from his laptop which was then recomissioned to a new employee without the visio.
Another consultant is now in need of visio. When trying to install visio according to the instructions we are asked to activate the office account on this specific laptop.
We then get a message that this office Product key is activated through another Microsoft account please log out and log in with that account?
We are using the exact same procedure as when installing the visio the first time (the visio sw is not installed or used on any other machine).
We have a multi license (volume) windows and office agreement with product keys.
AND WE ARE STUCK - SPENDING MORE TIME ON THIS THAN IT WOULD ACTUALLY COST US TO BUY ANOTHER Visio license!
I've used Microsoft / windows / office throughout my career but this just is not professional!
Please help – To me this is not a support issue that I should spend support money on. We have purchased all products and we cannot get it to work.

Hi,
From your description, you had a digital version of Visio professional 2013, it was a retail version. Please give me the whole error message when you
activate Visio.
As far as I know, we need to uninstall Visio professional 2013 online( keep connection with internet),then we could re-install and activate it. If you uninstall
it from consultant' laptop offline, it'll store the product key in the laptop.
I recommend you activate a Microsoft product by using Microsoft Product Activation Center

  • Windows 8 error "product key does not match any of the Windows images available for installation"

    Hi Experts
    My HP Pavilion laptop came with window 8. I made the USB recovery for windows 8 using hp recovery manager. My windows was corrupted, while I was trying to install windows 7 in dual boot.
    I used above USB recovery to restore factory default. But every time it is giving me error "HP Recovery Manager Failed error code = 0xefffff08"
    Then I downloaded the OEM ISO mage for windows 8 and tried to do the clean install but now installation process is giving me error "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key" 
    Please help me. To whom I have to contact?

    Hi ghost-rider,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
    I understand you tried to do a recovery and you received this error  "oxefffff08".
    First I would suggest you run a hardware diagnostics. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    If no hardware failures are located, you have ruled that possibility out.
    Here is a link to Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8) that may help.
    If you are still having an issue doing a recovery, I suggest contacting HP support and explain the issue you are having with doing a recovery. They may have another option available for you.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region  Technical Support Sitemap
    The clean install from an OEM image is looking for the product code as it does not match the one that came with the computer, You would need a new code.
    I hope this has helped.

  • Selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type

    I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for a couple of years now, and a few months ago I began having problems importing AVI files created from a BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card.  (These issues were not previously occurring, and since they surfaced, I have exhausted the various settings for the BlackMagic card, used various software such as BlackMagic's own Media Express as well as the freeware VirtualDub, and still have the following problems.)
    In addition, these AVI files play just fine, in their entirety, using Windows Media Player and in Quicktime.
    The problem (or possibly two, but I suspect they could be related) is that most of the AVI files I attempt to import will either (1) import all video and NO audio, or (2) import ONLY a short segment of audio and video, and the length that Elements imports varies.  Usually only in the range of a minute or two.  The rest of the file is not imported at all.
    After much digging in forums, and testing various settings in trying to figure out the issue, I decided to back up all of my files and completely wipe all hard drives and start over with a fresh installation of Windows and Premiere Elements 9.  I haven't installed much else yet, as I wanted to first find out if the reinstallation improved things with Elements.
    For the first project I created in Elements after the reinstallation, Elements successfully imported an entire AVI that was nearly 2 hours long, audio and video.  This was a file that previously would not import properly into Elements.  This suggested that my earlier installation of Elements must have been corrupted somehow.  At this point I was very hopeful that all was well.
    I proceeded to edit the video as I had wanted, saved the project, and exported it to an MPEG format file.  I had originally wanted to export it as an MOV, but I hadn't yet installed Quicktime, so Elements couldn't do that just yet.  The MPEG export was successful and plays fine.
    However, I then installed Quicktime, and once it was finished, I restarted the PC and reloaded the same project.  This time, Elements claimed the media was offline.  I double-clicked on a segment of the video, and directed Elements to the raw file, but then an error message popped up:  "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)."  This was the same file I had JUST edited and of which I created an MPEG.
    I tried creating a new project and the "Get Media" function to import the AVI again, but this time only the video imported with NO audio.  (This would explain why the error message said what it did, but not why the audio wasn't imported.)
    What in the world is going on with Elements???  I am baffled since the ONLY task I have done on this machine after a complete reinstallation of both Windows and Elements is edit one AVI.  I find it very hard to believe that just installing Quicktime caused this.
    Some info on my system:
    System:  Asus P6T w/ Intel i7 920 and 12 GB memory
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Video Software:  Premiere Elements 9
    Capture Card:  BlackMagic Intensity Pro (PCI-e)
    Capture Software:  AVIs recorded with either BlackMagic Media Express or VirtualDub (only prior to the reinstallation, as neither of these programs are currently installed)
    I'm getting to the point with Elements that I might need to just abandon it and find something else that is more reliable.  Anybody have suggestions to help with this, so I won't have to migrate?

    We think that we need to start off with definiting the properties of these .avi files that you are importing into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 (assumed that you are working for the required 9.0.1 Update).
    You say that the "avi" was created from a "BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card". What are the properties of this .avi that you imported into Premiere Elements? Not all .avi are created equal. What is the video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, typical duration?
    Based on the properties of the video what have you been setting as the project preset?
    Let us start here.
    More later.

  • CS5 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

    Greetings,
    I have been working on a very large project using CS5 on my desktop computer. Now I am on the road and bought a laptop so that I can continue to work. I placed all of my assets on a back-up external 2tb drive (which I was able to open without incident on my desktop). I installed CS5 on my new laptop and now when I try to open the project I get the following message "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)". This message appears before I indicate the path to any of the assets. Then, when I do indicate the path to each asset, I get the same message for individual files.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    I had this problem and have found a solution / workaround:  my issue was when trying to open a cs5 project that had been collected on mac and then transfered to pc, my footage was all png image sequences but this will hopefully work in other situations...
    Open the project and cancel the first dialogue box that pops up where you get the "file cannot be linked" error when trying to reconnect footage.  The project will open and then in the project panel, right click on any footage that needs reconnected and choose "Replace footage..." this will open a dialog that will allow you to select the file that gave you the error in the first place without any issues.  Any sequences with that footage will now work and everything show be all good. 
    You may experience "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the offline media graphic" on first export but apparently you can just ingore that, but i guess it's woth testing a few short sections before commiting to a huge render...
    This workaround isn't perfect as i had about 50 pieces of footage i had to relink via this method one by one but at least it saved redoing the edit which was critical for my project...
    good luck!

  • Need help urgently!! - "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match t

    Hey guys... I need your help!! I started a project using Premiere Pro 2 and was 80% when I formatted my computer (all my project files were always saved to a external hard drive). Anyways instead of installing Premiere Pro 2, I installed Premiere Pro Cs3. Problem is whenever I try starting up my project it asks me to link every file used. When I do this it says "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." I took my external harddrive to friend's house who has Premiere Pro 2 and it says the same thing. Why did this happen? Is there anyway around it... Any help would be greatly appreciated, I put over 20 hours into editing this movie... I don't want it all to go to waste.

  • Microsoft Office Word 2007 product key does NOT work

    Hello,
    my laptop model is Satellite - A505-S6980 and I've been using Microsoft Word but everytime I use it, it prompts me to enter a product key. Which I found on the bottom of my laptop and it is saying its invalid and after 25 times that I try to access microsoft word  I will no longer be able to use the features it has. What should I do? if its the correct product key where can I find it? my microsoft word was already installed in my laptop so I do not have a CD. I've also already tried searching through microsoft forums and tried some stuff but it is not helping.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    that is because the product key on the bottom of the laptop is for windows not office. the office that was installed on your laptop is a 60 day trial so if it has been that long you will need to buy it. if you dont want to buy it you can try open office which is almost the same and free. if you do want to buy it i believe if you buy 2007 you will get a free upgrade to 2010 but you would have to check on the microshaft site. 2010 comes out in june

  • Office Product Key will not work (A505)

    I just bought a Satelitte A505-s6005 two days ago. I've tried all of the suggestions to get Office 2007 working as a trial version, but no luck.
    Every path I try asks me to install Office and nothing gives me a simple activation key.
    Any ideas?

    Well, I was down to having about 9 more times to open Word. I was worried I would not be able to do my grad school work this weekend.
    Thankfully, I found a key in Fixya that worked. So, problem solved for now.

  • CS6 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

    I understand there is another posting in this forum with the same error happening on CS5 and their solution had something to do with Quicktime.  Mine has nothing to do with this.
    I ran into this exact same problem in CS6 and I found that the issue is because I renamed the root project folder.  My folder structure is like this:
    Drive C:\
      -> [root project folder]
                -> [folder containing videos]
                -> MyProject.prproj
    By renaming the root project folder, I was no longer able to open up the project successfully.  It would get to certain clips and ask about where the clip was located.  Trying to re-link it to the correct file would result in that error (which makes no sense if you think about it).
    So my question is, is it intentional that the absolute folder paths are saved into the project file rather than relative paths?  Does it not make more sense if paths were saved relative to the root project path?  That way the root project folder could be renamed to whatever you want and it would have no effect on the project itself.

    I had this problem and have found a solution / workaround:  my issue was when trying to open a cs5 project that had been collected on mac and then transfered to pc, my footage was all png image sequences but this will hopefully work in other situations...
    Open the project and cancel the first dialogue box that pops up where you get the "file cannot be linked" error when trying to reconnect footage.  The project will open and then in the project panel, right click on any footage that needs reconnected and choose "Replace footage..." this will open a dialog that will allow you to select the file that gave you the error in the first place without any issues.  Any sequences with that footage will now work and everything show be all good.

  • Visio Professional 2013 trial - can't save work

    I can't save the work I do when using the trial version of Visio Professional 2013 - is it because it is a trial version?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to repair Visio 2013 from Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Does it happen in recent or it began from the day of Visio 2013 installation?
    It the former, please think about what's the application/update installed in the recent past days, and try to remove the suspecious one to check if the save function would be recovery.

  • Trying to install Visio Professional 2013 on 64 bit machine but install says I have 32 bit office

    I am Trying to install Visio Professional 2013 on 64 bit machine but when I try to install it says I have 32 bit office already installed.  How do I know if I have 32 bit Office installed, and if so how do I change it to 64 bit.
    And how do I install 64 bit Visio ?

    I believe for most users the 32-bit version of Office is recommended due to compatibility issues (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-office-HA010369476.aspx) so that is likely the version you have.
    If you only have the install media for 64-bit Visio then you may want to see what you can do to exchange it for 32-bit if possible - the only option for creating a 64-bit version of Office is to uninstall the 32-bit and install 64-bit separately.
    (You can tell quickly if your current Office is 32- or 64-bit by looking at the directory it is installed in - 64-bit programs get installed in "c:\Program Files" while 32-bit programs get installed in "c:\Program Files (x86)"
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    Which Office 365 Home Premium editions did you install? 32bit or 64bit? Office 2013 doesn’t support running side-by-side installations of 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Office. For example, you can’t install Office 2010 32-bit side-by-side with Visio
    2013 64-bit. This applies to both Windows Installer (MSI) and Click-to-Run installations of Office 2013. If you try to do this, you'll receive the error message and be prevented from continuing:

  • Project Professional 2013 Installations Fails with Office 2010 installed on Windows 7 x86

    When attempting to install Project Professional 2013 Pro (x86) on Windows Professional x86 PC that has Office 2010 ProSp2 installed client getting an error message at the end of the installation "Project 2013 has encountered an error during setup".
    I have gotten the installer to work on x64 PC with Office 2010 installed. (Something worth noting that even thought I set the reboot to prompt its automatically reboots without warning but, appears to be working.)  I also tried using the OTC, custom XML
    file and just running setup.exe and get the error no matter what. When looking in the logs I there are MSI installer error with an error: Product:
    Microsoft Project Professional 2013 - Update '{A6FFA77F-C1C1-43D3-A2C7-6A5B68138D9F}' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for
    instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127
    Without having to uninstall Office 2010 what do I need to modify in the installer to get it to Project 2013 Pro to install on the x86 machine?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
    You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
     The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
    Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
    error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
     these are the issues I've seen:
    Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
    CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old. 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
    Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
    Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
    The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
    If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
    "logging"= "voicewarmup"

  • Office 2013: can't retrieve the Product Key via Belarc Advisor

    Hi,
    Isn't it possible anymore to retrieve the Office Product Key installed on a computer via third party inventory software such as Belarc Advisor? I used to do that to see the Microsoft Office Product Key installed on a computer for previous Office versions.
    However, I tried with a computer where Office 2013 Home and Business is installed and Belarc Advisor didn't show its Product Key. Is it due to the new license management that consists of linking it to a Microsoft account and only entering the account credentials
    during the installation process instead of the Product Key? Isn't the Product Key stored somewhere on the computer anymore?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer although it's a typical half useless reply from an official Microsoft staff...
    Actually, I understand that Microsoft doesn't support third party software to retrieve a product key but my question was rather technical and driven by curiosity rather by the need of retrieving the product key. Indeed, I took over a computer park in a company
    and I'm performing an IT inventory. During this inventory, I retrieve Windows and Office Product Key. The licenses are genuine but since I'm not the one who purchased and installed these computer, I don't know them. Therefore, a simple solution is to use inventory
    software such as Belarc Advisor. But I noticed that it can't retrieve Office 2013 Product Key anymore whereas it was able with previous versions of Office.
    So to reformulate the question: isn't the Product Key stored somewhere locally on the computer anymore with Office 2013? Because if no, that would explain why third party software can't retrieve it anymore.
    My question is rather technical about the new way of managing Product Key with Office 2013 and driven by curiosity. So I don't need any official technical assistance.
    Thanks
