my product key is wrong according to microsoft word, help

Im trying to enter my product key for microsoft word and he always tells me that it is evil.

I got it on the label under my laptop... Please help

Hi johndeegan11,

According to the information you have provided I understand you are trying to enter your product key located under your laptop to install/activate the program Microsoft Office Word. Under your laptop product key is the product key for your operating system i.e. Windows Vista. You cannot use this product key for install/activate Microsoft Office programs.

Provide us more information about your program Microsoft Office so that we can better help you.

(1) what version of Office you are trying to activate?

(2) you purchased Microsoft Office or was it preinstalled on the computer?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) computers usually have a trial version of Microsoft Office installed. If you purchased a retail version of Microsoft Office you will need to uninstall the trial version installed on the computer and install the version of Microsoft Office that you have purchased.

If you bought Microsoft Office through your computer Manufacturer (OEM) then I suggest you to contact your computer manufacturer for help with Microsoft Office activation.

You can also consult the following link for more information about the available Microsoft Office products:

Hope the helps of information.

Product key does not work with Office Word

Hello

I am trying to enter a product key (on the sticker on the base of the laptop) to allow me to use
Microsoft word, but I like the number is not valid.

What should I do?

Martin.

The Microsoft Office which was preinstalled on your laptop is ONLY a trial version!
The sticker with the serial key which is located at the bottom of the device belongs to the Toshiba OS image and cannot be used with other MS products usually it shouldn't t work.

If you need a full version. Buy it.

Microsoft Word Help!

Nice day.

I recently had to wipe my laptop because it was running at the worst possible speed. After returning the system to its factory settings, it worked a treat.

However I was not able to log on to Microsoft Office, as I don't have my product key. The laptop was purchased in 2009 and came with Office installed. How can I find this?

Thanks for your time/help and concern.

Where is the product key?

With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

Hello

A question any longer, with material that could be to help others.

My HP Pavilion (2013) brand new 23-b010ez a pre-installed MS Windows 8 version 6.2.9200.

Comments on this page to the effect of "the old fashioned useless, full of 25-digit product key" are not correct.

That means installed "Windows Help and Support" of my computer for example on the product key?

I quote:

"It's a 25 numbers used to activate Windows.

-"the product key must be in the box that came with the Windows DVD come in French - or.

-"[product key] should be in an e-mail that shows that you have purchased Windows."

"It's a good idea to save a copy of your product key for your records in case you need to reinstall Windows."

I had no system of Windows (recovery) DVD on purchase. It came pre-installed.

I had no email with a product code. I got a confirmation of my Windows account, I was forced to sign in the first starting up my computer and a confirmation email of authorization with a verification for my Microsoft Account code.

But no code produced by email (they wouldn't email defeats in any case - security).

And I agree keep an external copy of the product key. Apparently (according to the "Windows Help and Support information" provided on my new computer I HAVE the product code for reinstalling Windows.)

I found also asks me to tap into it, if I try to buy windows to another computer, or to add functionality to my edition of Windows from here: configuration\systeme and security\activation center\windows of activation using these built-in control functions. In both places, I wonder to enter the complete 25 digit product code. No other solution. Can't tell him to go find the BIOS, on the contrary!

So far, what I've found and where?

I tried to find the product key, without success. In "Windows Activation" to control configuration\systeme and center\windows security\activation, I found the last 5 digits (or are they the first?) and my activation date. In "System information" control configuration\systeme and security\system, less listed under the title 'Activation of Windows', I find my windows is activated and a "product ID 20 code numbers. What is the rest of the key complete product which is now part of BIOS, as shown above? It would be good to know.

Why do I need to enter the product key?

Well because reinstallin Windows, adding additional features (regardless of who it) and buy another copy Windows to another machine.

So, where is the product key - or come by it?

I don't have confidence now and seen the galley do to get under pressure once I have to do a reinstall of Windows on my new computer.

Thank you very much.

Hello

Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

Like you said windows 8 has been preinstalled on your computer. We would like to tell you that the product key will not need to be included as it uses the product by the manufacturer key which is encrypted in BIOS.

How to find the product key?

1. open the original OEM software package; the product key will be printed on a sticker located somewhere on the case. Some software have the sticker on the back; others will have it inside the case.

2. review the case of your computer for an OEM product label; This is common for computers produced by major retailers operating under Windows.

3. open the manual supplied with the software; OEM key are printed on the inside cover, or inside the back cover first. Sometimes the key will be printed on a loose sheet back in the manual.

4. communicate with the computer retailer that provided the software; retailers often keep records of keys to product belonging to their customers, in the case where the keys are lost.

Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you.
