Hello there MDL, does anyone know where the activation files are stored? I know Office 2007 stored them in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA".. If been searching this files for ages but luck..
Found it by some batch script posted on this site. %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform thx" CODYQX4"
n00b question: What am I supposed to do with the above directory/files if I am installing Office 2010 into a WinXP VirtualBox VM on my main system (which has the already the installed version of Office 2010)? Do I just copy those directories/files onto a similar path in my VM after installing Office 2010, and I won't get prompted to activate on first start-up?
Just use CODYQX4's Toolkit. It does it all for you: backup and restore. No need to do anything manual.
