The product key on my purchased Microsoft Office Home and Student is not accepted.

I bought Office home and student software and normally I can use programs Microsoft office such as word, excel etc. without problem.  However, sometimes with a specific task, I'm asked to enter my product key and I am told that it is incorrect.  Why this might be happening?

  • Product key for microsoft office home and Student 2007 is the wrong type of key. Cannot validate the license.

    I bought a pc laptop hp Pavilion dv2000 model in September 2007, of the circuit city which is no longer in business here. I used the microsoft office home and student software that was previously installed a dozen times. Whenever I go to use it it asks me to enter a product key of 25 characters for the license validation. I tried to enter, it accepts all characters except the last. I don't think I should pay for the support, I bought a software that was supplied with the pc. HP is no help because my one year warranty has expired. Microsoft wants to sell me a support package. The message said after 25 times to log on to the program without posting, I lose complete access. Does anyone have a solution to this problem I have? I have windows vista Home premium.

    Microsoft Office does not come with a free version of Office installed; He never has.

    What you have / have had a free trial of Office on your laptop.

    The figure of 25 product key on the bottom of your laptop is Vista product key, not the trial Office of one.

    You can buy Office, to use it. Mick Murphy

"  I removed the trial version of the same version of the same and also microsoft office 2003 successfully.  I also followed the procedure of 'http//support.microsoft.com/kb/927153' of Microsoft to delete the Rgstrtn.lck file and then I restarted the computer and then tried to install the software mentioned above and I still get the same error message.  What should I do now?  I don't want to lose the $170.00 I paid best purchase of the product (that I can't install it on my computer).  Can someone help me?

  • Buy Microsoft Office home and Student 2007

    I bought the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 for my laptop to buy full license. I received the confirmation email. The money has been debited to my credit card. I was able to download the program on the internet from Microsoft. Everything works very well. On the confirmation (as dated 26 May 2008) e-mail, it says "PHYSICAL PRODUCTS you will receive a separate e-mail notification when your products have shipped. However:

    -In the 3rd quarter of 2008 my computer crashed and had to re - install everything new. When I tried to enter my product key (from my confirmation email) it wouldn't work. If since the 3rd quarter 2008 I do not have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007.
    -I did not receive the physical product and does not separate email notification.

    Can someone please.

    Where you downloaded the version of student Office was that of Microsoft, or a less reliable source?

    Have you tried to temporarily disable the software Anti Virus and other security type of execution, to see if, perhaps, they were causing the problem not being able to get the key for product is TICKING?  You can also try to remove all trial versions and any other failure installs automatically on your machine.  Clean your Temp files, launch Disk Cleanup too and once more to get your version of Office to accept your product key.  This program might be useful.

  • Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Setup has stopped working...

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium operating system on it.  I have all the updates/service Pack installed on it and I'm updating.  I use Microsoft Security Essentials for my anti-virus program, windows firewall for my firewall and windows defender as my software anti spy.  A few days ago I reinstalled Vista to do a clean install in order to restore my computer to its factory settings or the State.  I did this cause I wasn't able to get office 2007 installed or working properly, there are several problems I encountered.  So I reinstalled Vista and my computer works great now so I've updated everything that I could and then I tried to install Office 2007 on it with my installation CD and it comes up with the validation code and I type in and it works and it starts installing Office but at the beginning of the installation, it closes and a little window appears 'Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 setup has stopped working' and It must be closed.  so I am not able to do anything with it at all.  is there something I can do?  would it be a bad CD? I don't understand.  I was able to get a new cd and just use my old product code to validate?  Help, please!

    I tried a few random things like get rid of AVG Free and adding to the security suite from microsoft, and by installing a high date, that I had to use the seven update analysis tool.  After I rebooted then am Office to install perfectly and all updates worked too.

  • Activation of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 problem, error: exceeded the number of times allowed to activate.

    Original title: reactivation.

    I bought Office Home and Student 2010 when I bought a new laptop. Over time, I have had problems with laptop computer and had to reload Office several times. Now, I bought another laptop and when I try to load the office he told me that I have exceeded the number of times authorized to activate. Is there a way around this or should I buy again?

    I'd probably use activation by telephone method to activate. At most, you talk to a customer service representative and explain the situation and you will be activated. But, it is usually resolved by using the automated system.

  • Reinstallation of microsoft office home and student 2010 once laptop back to factory settings

    We will have our laptop sent through for repairs in which technicians will be restore to its factory settings.

    I currently have a MS Office Home and Student 2010 installed & activated after the purchase of a product key and download & install the software. I've save a backup of the installation file and, of course, will ensure that I don't lose my product key.

    I just want to ensure that I can reinstall MS Office in my laptop after that she is undergoing a complete restoration of the system. My license only allows me to install/activate MS Office on a single computer. I ask because I have no idea how the activation process will know that I am simply reinstall on the same computer or if a full restore of the system would make my laptop be "recognized" as another.

    All the signs are pointing me to be able to do this. But I don't want to not ask. Please confirm that I have nothing to do except save my product key and the installation file.

    As long as the repair does not have to replace the motherboard in the laptop, you should be able to reinstall the Office product without any problem.  Just ensure that your Win XP operating system is upgraded to SP3 before trying to install, as well as to remove any office trial programs that may have been resettled when the restoration was done.

    Hi Odee,

    The problem is most likely a corrupt Windows Installer problem.

    In addition to the suggestion of BurrWalnut , please make sure that the Windows Installer service is enabled.

    Step 1:

    The Windows Installer service can be disabled on the computer.

    a. go to "Start "-> "run ", type "services.msc " and press the "Enter " key.
     
    b. double-click on the service named "Windows Installer ".
     
    c. check the value the "start type: " field. Is currently set to "Disabled ", then that's the problem. Change it by selecting 'Manual ' in the menu dropdown.

    Step 2:

    Now, Uninstall all traces of Office applications and the reinstall it.

    If you are unable to uninstall, use this link to uninstall.
