Windows 8.1-Office 2010 Product Activation Failed

I've tried suggested fixes from other posts, but haven't been able to resolve this issue...we recently purchased several Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets with Win 8.1 Pro. MS Office Professional Plus 2010 installs fine, but within a short time we get a 'product
activation failed' message in all Office programs. After inputting the MAK activation code, it seems to accept it and goes through finishing installation (which I found odd), but after shutting down the program and restarting and even rebooting the computer,
the "Product Activation Failed" message reappears. I have tried numerous times and even went through the telephone activation which seems to complete successfully without error, but does not clear the failed message. I have attempted running the
activation wizard as the network admin too, to no avail.
We use this version of Office 2010 on XP, Vista and 7 workstations with no issues; only issue is on Win 8.1 devices.
Any assistance or advice is appreciated.

Hi，
As this license issue is related to office, to receive better support, it's recommnended to seek help in the office forum.

Office Pro 2010 Product Activation Issue

Started getting errors when opening Office applications stating "product activation required". This product has been in use (activated) for some 3 or 4 years now and the product ID displays as installed.
The Office product has been in use since purchase without issue.
I checked and there are no updates pending for the Office 2010 product????
Full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials comes up clean.
Any ideas??

Hi,
I want to know whether you are using a retail version of Office or a Volume Licensing version? Is it Office Professional Plus 2010?
The error "Product Activation required" implies that your Office 2010 is no longer licensed. You can try the method below to fix it:
Determine whether the computer has the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office 2010 installed. To do this, open any Office 2010 program, click
File, and then click Help. The Office version is displayed next to the
Version number.
Close all Office 2010 programs.
Click Start, type cmd in the
Start Search box, and then press Enter.
At the command prompt, type one of the following commands, and then press Enter:
If you're running 64-bit Windows with 32-bit Office:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\OSAUI.exe" /F
If you're running 32-bit Windows, or running 64-bit Office with 64-bit Windows:
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\OSAUI.exe" /F
If the problem persists after the steps above, there are some other methods that you may need to try, we can find more details in this Microsoft KB below:

Windows Update of Office 2010 SP2 fails with message Code B56

I have been trying to update a Windows 7 Ultimate + Office 2010 professional with SP2 as supplied both by Windows Update and dowanloaded SP2 from KB2687455.
All attempts fail with a Windows Update error code B56.
I have tried the 'get help with this error' but there is no entry that matches the problem.
I have tracked the event viewer error which is 0x80070643 - this appears to relate to error occurring with .NET, so I am no furrther on.
Help Please from anyone.
Alan Cameron

Thank you for your input. The email prompted me to come back and share what I have been able to do to solve the problem. No answers as to why it worked but what I did was using a dvd with a copy of Office 2010 Professional Plus I started the setup and when
it asked what I wanted to do I answered Repair.
When this was finished I retried the update to SP2 and it worked.
It would be nice to know why it was failing but the pressure is off now.

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.

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

EPM 11.1.2 with Windows 7 and Office 2010

Hi all,
We are getting majorly upgraded to Windows 7 and Office 2010 soon. We use EPM 11.1.2 suite of products. Will all the end-user web applications still work?
I already found out that Smartview 11.1.2 is not supported for Office 2010.
Does anybody have experience working with 11.1.2 and Windows 7?
Thanks,
Sujani

According to Oracle Support, KB ID 1191235.1, there is Office 2010 suport for 9.3.3 and 11.1.1.3.02. That release is patch 9889521 and is for SmartView only.
Havnig said that, people seem to be using it:
Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel ?
Re: Hyperion Essbase Excel Addin - Unable to connect
Of course you take your own chances with this -- it is an unsupported combination right now.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. John Booth posted today a different patch release (I know, you're on 11.1.2, but for the 11.1.1.3 readers): http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1294100830/Does+11.1.1.3+support+Windows+7+and+Office+2010-
I'd be more inclined to go with John's patch number than mine -- I am just browsing through Oracle support -- he does infrastructure for real.

Office 365 downgrade for Office 2010 Product Key

Hi,
I just would like to inquire if it is possible to downgrade the Office 365 that was purchased from a vendor. The vendor specifically assured us that there would be product keys that would be given and we would be able to use it in on our existing Office
2010 products. But unfortunately, it does not work.
The vendor is no longer answering our calls, emails text messages, etc after he has received the payment for the Office 365.
We are located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Who is that vendor? What did they tell you in detail?
In this forum we mainly discuss technical questions about Office products, for the purchase and activation questions, I suggest you contact your local customer service.
You should be able to find your local customer service number from this link:

Acrobat Pro 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010. C: blocked by GPO. Designer application can not save. Ther

Hello,
Please I need some help if possible. I just recently upgraded a user to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and reinstalled her Acrobat 7. We locked down c: thru GPO, and it seems this is causing an issue when she uses Designer. She and click save or save as all she wants but nothing happens. If I log in under admin (i can see c:) everything works fine, if possible could someone lead me to the solution. We can not open c: for her, if there is a registry edit where i can change the default location that would be great.Thanks in advance.

If the Win7 is a 64-bit system, you will need to upgrade the Acrobat to XI. AA 7 will work with Win7, 32-bit, after some playing around but will not be automatic. I am specifically referring to printing to the Adobe PDF printer. PDF Maker will definitely not work with OFFICE 2010, that requires AA X with updates as a minimum.
For AA7, the AcroTray function will probably fail (it did for me on a 64-bit system). In fact, you will likely not even get a printer. I was able to install an HP PS printer (color should probably be selected) and change the name to the Adobe PDF printer. Then change the port to file. When you print to the printer, it will create a PS (actually listed as PRN) file that can then be opened in Distiller to complete the process of the PDF creation. For most users, this is not an obvious solution -- I even did it with AA5 on a 32-bit Win7. Because of the issues, it is strongly recommended to upgrade (at this point it is a new purchase since AA9 is needed for the upgrade at present) to AA XI. Sorry for the bad news, but AA7 is 8 years old and is ancient in software terms (OK, I still have it on some XP machines).

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.
This question was solved.

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.

You can pay much cheaper for Home & Student version and a lot cheaper with a student id card.

Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.

Unexpected restarts when deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates

Hi
I am deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates via SCCM 2012 sp1 and have a couple of questions
Question 1)
The updates are made available to clients at 9am on a Tuesday morning. The users get notification that updates are available to install. If the user doesn't install the updates, the client will wait 24hrs and then install the updates automatically.
We have set the restart behaviour to 24hrs, so again, the user will get a pop up saying that their machine will restart in 24hours. In my testing I have seen no more pop ups appear until 15 minutes before a restart is due and then a window appears
with a count down of 15 minutes but I think this might be standard behaviour. I am not sure why there are options in the client settings to remind users frequently about the impending installation of update but not of impending restarts. The
reason we delay the restart by 24hrs is to give the users the chance to restart their machines over night. Is there a way of providing more notifications of computer restarts ? The User Experience in the deployment of the updates is set to
Display in software center and show all notifications. We have Group Policy set to Not Configured for Windows Updates apart from the user policy
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to 0 - Do not show any notifications.
Question 2)
Another issue we have is that we have client machines restarting without any warning at all. I have tested setting the user experience to suppress restarts but have the issue regardless. It appears that this happens if the client
is off when the deployment schedule reaches its deadline and the restart time is missed. I had one user who did restart her machine because she was prompted to restart. When the machine came back up it looked like it installed another update and
then just resarted without any warning. This hasn't happened often but a one user was on a Lync call when the restart occured and she was not happy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Daniel
I have done an RSOP on a VM I am testing and only have the user policy :
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to
0 - Do not show any notifications.
And the machine policy :
Specify intranet Microsoft update service location which is set to
Enabled The GPO Name is Local Group Policy
The policies look OK.
As a test I have deployed some updates and set the user experience to
Display all notifications and set the Suppress restarts
for both Servers and Workstations. When I deploy the updates, I get notifications that the updates are installing (when the deadline is met) and then I get a prompt telling me that a restart is required. I also get a windo letting me restart now
or I can ask to be reminded in x number of hours. This seems like expected behaviour. It does not force a restart. However if I leave the VM on over night I come in the following day and can see it has restarted. looking at the WindowsUpdate.log I
can see that at 3:15am the line AUInvoking reboot system. It looks like Windows Updates and not SCCM is forcing the restart.
Thanks

Migration from Windows Live to Office 2010-POP3 email accounts

So I was attempting to migrate a few emails, specfically old email messages from Windows Live to Office 2010. I could not migrate using the obvious tool since I'm not using Microsoft exchange. I used windows live exporting abilities, but it saves to the
desktop. Is there another way to export the data from Windows Live Mail to Office 2010.

You can export your Windows Live Mail to Outlook using manual methods which are properly described here
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/212929.aspx
But if you want to export using third party tools then download an efficient eml to pst conversion tool from
http://www.windowslivemailtopst.emltopstconversion.org which instantly migrate your Windows Live Mail to Outlook.
