Laptop theft: MS Office can be disabled?

Since MS Office 'knows' how many PCs have been registered with a particular drive, it follows that my stolen pc, if the thief break through my security and newspapers on the Internet, can be detected and so located or disabled.  True?

Not true.

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • Can I disable the product key of Win7 on a laptop stolen?

    I bought a family pack of Windows7 and used a updates on the laptop for my son who was stolen last month.  Can I disable the product key on the laptop and use the key on another pc?

    Unfortunately, no, there is no method available to disable remote a product key.

    because the thief has your computer, even if it were possible, they could just use a retreival key utility and retrieve your product key. Also, this sets up a cat and mouse scenarios, because they could easily re-activate the license using phone activation. Your best option is to use the phone activation and explain carefully the situation in the call that your product key agent and the laptop has been compromised. The might be able to do something. If you had used the encryption, your data could be much safer.

    Activate Windows 7 manually:
    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  • I recently had my laptop lost or stolen, can someone tell me how I can disable the CC apps?

    I recently had my laptop lost or stolen, can someone tell me how I can disable the CC apps? Can I only get you invited to turn off if you try to install a third-party device? I I only loaded them on one device today.

    Hi Emma,

    Creativce Cloud subscription is good for use on 2 computers according to the end-user license agreement. You can go ahead and activate it on another machine.

    If you want to activate a 3rd machine that a message would appear on citing your use of the software on 2 computers, there you have an option to click on "Continue" where you want to disable the copy on a previous machine.

  • How can I disable the CC on a dead computer?

    I had downloaded on two machines CC: my desktop and laptop. My office died a few days ago and now I am setting up my new office, including the download of CC, but I can't. My guess is because the license is not good for the two machines, but how to deactivate a license on a computer, that I can start is longer?

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, we will not be able to disable the desktop however you can go ahead and install and activate the product on a third machine.

    Once you activate it will ask you to turn off other machines and that's how you can disable.

  • Satellite L455D - How can I disable touchpad & WiFi slow

    I just got this new laptop and I really NEED to disable the touchpad. It drives me crazy jumping everywhere when I type.

    I tried Fn + F9 and it does not work. I looked in the control panel and I can uninstall the drivers, but can't turn it off. I like to use a mouse ball roll except when I'm traveling, so I don't want to uninstall the drivers. Is there a simple way to turn it off?

    In addition, it seems to be EXTREMELY slow to access the internet with a Wi - Fi connection. Nothing is different with my internet connection or service except that cell phone provider is probably ten times slower than my old laptop.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
