The tool in KB 836178 walks you through a trouble shooting procedure for Office 2010 Product Keys
This behaviour may occur for one or more of the following reasons.:
·You have a Trial Version of Office installed that is “intercepting” the activation attempt, uninstall it first
·Check the numbers and letters on the product key:
§the number eight (8) can resemble a capitalized B,
§the number zero (0) can resemble a capitalized O or Q
§the number six (6) and letter G
§the letters V V and letter W
·Office 2010 Product Keys do not Contain following Characters:
·Numbers: 0 1 5
·Letters: A E I L N O S U Z
·Copy the product key from an e-mail message to avoid typing errors.
·Make sure that you are not using a product key from an older version of Office. These product keys will not work with Office 2010.
·If you are using a product key from a sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop, or on the back of your desktop computer, look VERY CAREFULLY at the sticker. They are usually the stickers for Microsoft Windows Product Key and will NOTwork with Office 2010.
·If a Product Key Card was purchased at a retail store and activated at the register, do not use the key that is inside the card to unlock Office 2010. You must logon to the website listed on the card and follow the instructions to obtain the actual product key for the version of Office that you purchased.
·A product key for an Office 2010 stand-alone product (such as Microsoft Visio Professional 2010) will not be accepted as a product key for an Office 2010 suite. It is important to match the product key to the product for which it is specified.
·Volume License product keys will not be accepted for a retail Office 2010 product.
·Product Keys that start with “FC7HF” can only be used on Office Web Apps running on SharePoint
·Check your Windows Product ID in the Help about screen. Ie PID 00426-068-0288566-86858 Focus on the 3 digit part of the ID if it matches or is within one or two digits of the examples below
·065, 066, 067, 068 for Ultimate,
·220, 221 are for Pro
·230, 231, 221, 232 are for Premium,
·you probably have an MSDN or Technet key.There are probably others but they should be close to these posted
·If none of the above conditions apply, before, or after trying the following procedures you may want to do a Phone Activation and ask the service rep to explain what the specific problem is.
About MSDN or TechNet Product Keys
They are genuine Microsoft product keys for retail licenses, but not for Retail sale. They are intended for a particular product channel either the Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) or TechNet for IT Professionals who pay a subscription fee. The main purpose is for evaluation purposes. It is for one person only to use and no one else. Unfortunately, regardless of the licensing terms, persons still abuse the program, either giveaway product keys or resell it on auction sites.
What probably happened is, you bought an MSDN licensed key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike full packaged retail licenses which only carry 1 activation. The person who sold it to you probably sold it to 10 other persons. Somewhere along the way, one of those persons might have installed it on a second system, activated it, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft detected it that it was being abused and blocked the key from further use.
Validate Now:
You can confirm that your software is genuine now. It’s quick and easy: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/ Click the 'Validate Windows' button. If the validation check fails, then you are going to have to buy your product again. You should contact the vendor for a refund. Depending on where they are in the scam cycle they may give you the refund or they will string you along with delays. You should also contact your credit card company to cancel the transaction or to at the very least give them a heads up on the scam so that they can deny the scammer any further sales.You may also want to report the vendor to www.microsoft.com/piracy .
If it is a legitimate purchase, then you are possibly having a known problem with Win7.There are 3 possible causes, 4 possible fixes:
First confirm that you are not making a simple typing error.
Second, it may be an access rights problem. There are 2 possible fixes for it. Either activate using 'Run As Admin' or 'Take Ownership' of the problem drive folders and registry entries. I have provided links to several articles for these types of fixes. Pick one that you can follow and try it.
Third do a phone activation

FYI: for this situation, you can consider Vista and Win7 to be essentially interchangeable with only minor differences between the user interface in the 2 versions.
Stuart little 2 free. In Win7, even when you are logged in as administrator, UAC no longer gives you “Full” administrator rights. To get all of the access you now also have “run as administrator”
It appears there is an error where your userid is not being allowed to update the activation information in the registry.
The general process is :
·Close all of the office apps
·Start one of the Office apps using any one of the following “run as admin” techniques
·Activate office
·Close the app
·Start it normally, confirm the message has “gone away”

·If the message is gone, reboot the computer
·Start the office app again to confirm that the message really is gone for good (was saved in the registry)
What you need to do is 'runas admin':
•Go to the start menu and find the program icon you want to start
·<Shift> <Right Click> on it
·Select “Run as …”

What is a Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key?
A Microsoft Office 2010 product key is a 25-character serial key that allows you to activate MS Office. The serial key looks something like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Without a working serial key, your MS Office suite will not work properly. Some features require activation before you can use them.
Is Microsoft Office 2010 Free?
The short answer is no. Although it can come preinstalled when you buy your computer, MS Office has never been free. In order to use Microsoft Office (2010 or any other version) you need to have a product key — which usually costs money.
Nowadays, Microsoft offers free trials of their latest Office 365 suite, but you still need to pay to access the full version. There are free MS Office alternatives online (such as LibreOffice or Google Docs), but Microsoft Office itself isn’t free.
We have compiled a serial key list that allows you to activate your copy of MS Office without having to pay a cent. If you don’t have one, you can use one of our Microsoft Office 2010 product keys.
Why Do You Need a Microsoft Office Product Key?
As we’ve seen, MS Office isn’t free. This means that you need to have a valid product key that allows you to activate it. Without a valid serial key, you can’t use a licensed product, unless you’re using the free trial version.
Although you don’t need to purchase Office to use it, you do need a valid Microsoft Office 2010 product key. The good news is that you can easily find a free, working product key right here in this article.
Microsoft Office 2010 needs a product key for the activation to work.
Where to Find Your Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key
If you’ve acquired a legitimate version of MS Office 2010, you already have a product key. However, depending on how you’ve acquired it, there are several possibilities for where your serial key might be located.
- If you’ve bought a CD/DVD of MS Office 2010, you should have the serial key inside the product box.
- If you’ve purchased Microsoft Office 2010 straight from the Microsoft Store (online), then the product key should be in an email sent to you at the time of purchase.
- If Microsoft Office 2010 came preinstalled with your computer, then you might need to contact the store where you’ve bought your computer.
- Torrent websites and other websites that offer MS Office free downloads do not supply genuine product keys.
In case you can’t find your Microsoft Office 2010 product key and can’t proceed with the activation, don’t worry: we supply a free, working serial key list a bit further down.
How to Activate MS Office Using a Free Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key
After inputting your Microsoft Office 2010 product key, there are two options to activate the Office suite: online activation or activation through the telephone.
Let’s take a look at each of these methods separately.
Activate MS Office 2010 Through The Internet
After choosing the option to activate by using the internet, the activation wizard will automatically connect to the Microsoft license service.
If you have a valid product key, the wizard will validate it and activate your product. If you’re using an already used key, or if the key is invalid, you will get an error and your Office copy will not be activated.
Activate MS Office 2010 Through The Telephone
The other option is to activate your copy of Office through the telephone. It’s quite easy to do so.
First, you need to locate the phone number. It will appear somewhere in the activation wizard.
Then you will need to ask support for the confirmation ID. Once support has supplied it to you, you will need to insert the ID in the activation wizard and hit the enter key. Afterwards you’ll just need to wait for Office to activate.
What Happens If You Don’t Activate MS Office 2010?
You need to provide a Microsoft Office 2010 product key during the installation process. If you don’t have a key or if you input an invalid key, the installation will fail.
If you’ve installed MS Office as a trial, you’ll be asked to input your serial key after the trial period expires. If you don’t enter the key, then the product will become inactive and you won’t be able to use it.
This means that you need a Microsoft Office 2010 product key at the time of installation or after the trial expires.
Conclusion
We hope you’ve successfully activated your copy of MS Office 2010. If none of the serial keys seem to work, check back at a later date. We always keep a fresh supply of Microsoft Office 2010 product keys.
