Error message appears when activating MS Office Pro Plus 2010

Hi bidden, can you check:
1. Make sure Internet Explorer is working OK and can freely access Microsoft.com, set as default browser. Check Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and see if there is a proxy there. If so add *.microsoft.com to the exclusion list
2. Check the date on your PC is accurate
3. Control Panel > Windows Firewall > turn off & try again
4. Work through all the methods in the Microsoft article here
When you try to activate Office programs over the Internet, you receive an error message

Hope that helps
...Terry

Hello. Check this out. Tell me if it helps. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822519

@terencino| I checked all settings and followed the steps and I did not succeed. any other idea?
@Attlax| I followed the steps and had no luck.

Couple more questions then:
1. Is it a private retail license or volume license
2. What version of Windows XP/Vista/7/8 32/64 bit
3. What version of Office 32-bit or 64-bit

@terencino| volume license; Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit; Not sure of office, how do I check?

@terencino| Found the version of Office-Its 32 bit.

Can you open a command line and use this command:

cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" -dstatus

@terencino|I tried the command but i get the error message "Unsupported command passed."

Sorry old command, try a slash instead of a dash
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

@terencino|Here are the results of the command:

C:\>cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

What should I do next. The above mentioned key ending with G67FC is able to be activated telephonically. It is just that in that particular office there is no phone.

Thank you very much, I managed to activate the product using option 2. I downloaded and installed the application. I found that office 2010 appeared under Notifications. I went on to right click on it>choose Activate from the dropdown menu>Proxy Activate, checked Apply Confirmation ID and Activate check box>clicked Ok then Clicked close> and finally clicked close and it was activated successfully.
