![]() When chatting with MS support, I was asked to provide my name, email address, and phone number “for documentation purposes”. Local-only can give a certain peace of mind and a degree of privacy. I do use Google Docs and (rarely) MS Office live, but I don’t always want them having copies of my documents for all time. How do I get this thing to work again as before? After digging through the help documentation, I found a valid toll free number for my country, got an automated activation ‘agent’ which seemed to accept the Installation ID, then said my product isn’t valid and hung up… Telephone activation: It says telephone activation is no longer supported for your product. If I enter the Licence Key on the activation page of Office, it seems to validate it then says to exit/restart Office for it to take effect, but upon restarting still asks for activation by internet or telephone.Īctivation by internet fails: “This product cannot be activated because the product key is not valid.” I got Office years ago from my university’s MSDN program, and I still have the Licence Key which I was told would always remain valid. This might have coincided with the move to my new system, but I’m not sure since I don’t often use Windows and use Office even less. ![]() Office now claims to no longer be activated and required re-activation. I have Office Professional Plus 2010 installed in a Windows 7 VM. ![]()
