Hi, I downloaded Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010 via Torrent last 2 months ago. I got the RTM version. However as of this moment, I'm receiving a message that I need to activate the program. The torrent includes 2 serial numbers to use which I think, both of them were completely legitimate. Moving forward, do you guys know any activator(s) that would work with my version of Office 2010?
Karlo, suggest you to spend some time reading the Application forum. Lots of links and documentation about your question. Good luck.
Sorry for that. Can someone move this post to the right Thread because I really don't want to create another duplicate post.
You have to use the VL edition if you don't have any legit keys for Office 2010. No hack for the RETAIL version out yet, and maybe it never will come. So the VL edition with KMS activation is your best bet if you don't want to pay for it.
I really don't know if I have the VL edition or what. Well upon checking thet "About" section of the program, it says it's a Professional Plus version.
If you had to type in a serial key before you started the installation, it's a retail version. If you did not type in any key before the installation, you have a VL edition.
Proplus could be volume OR retail. If you go into about and it says "talk to your network admin to activate over corporate network" or somesuch, it's volume. As well, if at a command prompt you type cscript "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /dstatus and you see "KMS_client", it's volume.
Thanks. After using that command, it says: Code: ---Processing-------------------------- --------------------------------------- SKU ID: ***** LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeProPlusMSDN-Retail edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, RETAIL channel LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED--- ERROR CODE: 0 as licensed Last 5 characters of installed product key: V*F*K --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ---Exiting----------------------------- Now I'll try to check the other laptop where I installed Office 2010, that is not yet activated. I'll post it later. Anyway what do you think about the message that I saw? I didn't see "KMS-client" ...
This one is activated forever but there is a large chance it might get blacklisted since that key was leaked. So if I were you I would backup the activation.
