asked on can't activate office 2010 even with valid license and after getting activation code from Microsoft
For some reason I can't activate Office 2010. When I enter the license key it states the process completed successfully. However, the next time I open Excel it states it is not activated. I tried this twice.
I called Microsoft and got an activation code. When I use it, it states it requires Administrator privileges. I verified I was logged on as an user with Admin rights. I even created a second account with Admin rights and it still fails.
There must be a solution?

If you are having trouble activating office, from an elevated command prompt, right click -> run as administrator, follow the command lines here. http://blogs.technet.com/b/officeasia/archive/2011/01/07/how-to-use-command-line-to-change-activate-mak-product-key-for-office-2010-installation.aspx
This is usually how I have to activate.

I don't know if the first two would have worked, but this was the easiest to try and it worked.
Thanks

You're welcome. I'm glad that worked for you. Regards, Joe
If that does not work, try activating in a new, test Windows User Profile (account).
