Try internet activation first. If you get an error to the effect of "too many activations", then you can do a Phone activation. When you phone in, don't answer any of the prompts until you are given the option of talking to a "service" rep. Explain that you are transferring an installation from a "dead" computer. They should allow the activation to complete. Note: if you bought Office installed and activated at the factory, an OEM license, or a "Medialess License Kit" license it is only good for install on the first computer.
Those types of licenses do NOT allow transfers. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. This site in other languages x.
Please repost should you have any questions. I will include the directions for telephone activation should you encounter any complications. To activate the product this way, follow these steps:.
A link to the Microsoft Office Privacy Policy is provided so that you can read it at any time. Call the telephone number that is listed on line 2. The customer service agent will ask you for the installation ID and will give you a confirmation ID in return. Type the confirmation ID in the boxes provided. Here you will find links for various resolutions which you may encounter.
Please re-post here should you need further assistance. Thank you and have a great day! Microsoft Office Home and Student can be installed on 3 computer at a single point of time. Other office suite can be installed on 2 computer. Information can be found in the jewel case. There is no process of de-activating an office product.
Uninstalling does not de-activate the product. Install the product on the computer and activate. These conditions apply to the EULA. If the computer crashed, one can transfer the office license any time. If you need to transfer from a working computer you need to wait for 90 days and it applies only to Retail copies of the Product.
It does not apply for OEM. Find below the section of EULA. You may reassign the license to a different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days.
Hi every one, I have just upgraded my vista 32bit to 7 64bit. When I did this I created a back up of my old system on the hard drive, I can still see the word etc icons but when I try to run them it says 'there is not enough memory to run' I am guessing this is because office was installed on vista.
Is there an easy way to correct this? Thanks Paul. I have a follow-on question to this thread: I am running Office - Standard edition on a computer that I will be replacing shortly, and I would like to transfer Office to the new computer and decommission the old computer.
The issue is this: My copy of Office is an Upgrade version, which was proper on the original computer because that computer came preloaded with MS Works. If I seek to install it on the new computer it will presumably look for a valid MS program Works etc but it won't find one there so it will not accept an upgrade.
You are correct, upgrade license discs for Office are programmed to look for a previous qualifying product, either installed on the computer or in the form of the previous qualifying product's installation disc being inserted into the optical drive when asked by Office setup.
To stick with the "letter of the law" regarding upgrades, if the previous computer did not come with Works discs, you will need to purchase a copy of Works to have handy for the Office upgrade compliance check. How does the activation process know if the computer crashed? I really can't see how the internet activation process could tell the difference between a computer crash and just a different computer, obviously it can keep track of the total number of currently activated hardware devices.
The product activation process will most likely detect that you are installing on a different computer for licensing purposes because the hardware IDs of the motherboard itself and the onboard network connection most current mobos have the NIC on the motherboard , both of which carry significant weight in the product activation polling process, will have changed from the previous activation. The good news is that the logic programmed into the activation process is significantly weighted in the favor of giving the customer the benefit of any doubt.
I have another related question. I will be going to the UK this summer and plan clean-install my laptop which has one of my licensed copies of Office I do it there because internet is much more reliable and therefore all the security updates which need to be downloaded since SP3 take much less time to install. If I then re-install Office will I be able to re-activate my copy or will I need to wait until I return to India.
Regional restrictions regarding product activation are usually noted on the product's packaging, the Certificate of Authenticity, and in the product's Software Licensing Terms. These versions are restricted for sale and use only in those geographical locations for which they were intended, and the packaging for these products clearly indicates that they are restricted and where they can be purchased and activated.
Sign in. United States English. Those licenses cost less initially because of this specific license limitation. The new computer is replaced under warranty, but you have to pay for a whole new license. If the internet activation process denies you telling you it has been activated too many times, you can switch to telephone activation and call the number it provides you, it will ask you to verify how many times this copy of office was installed and if you verify it correctly it will activate your software.
If that does not work, phone again. Do not enter anything until the phone system offers you the option to talk to a live service rep. Explain the problem to them. NOTE: you can find links to the specific activation instruction for Office or Windows in hyperlinks at the bottom of the article. If the activation process fails, you can change the activation process to telephone and call the number it provides you. Except on weekends.
Telephone activation might take longer than activation through the Internet. You should be at your computer when you call, and you should have your software Product Key available. The wizard provides one or more telephone numbers appropriate for your selection.
Call the Activation Center. The customer service representative asks you for your installation ID displayed on your screen and other relevant information.
