    Hi

    I had office 2010 installed was working fine. I think i had activated it using cody's ez-activator. I decided to install office 2013. I think I still had 2010 installed. Anyways I tried activating 2013 using the ez-activator & it worked the worked fine. The next day I couldn't use office 2013.

    I got error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine....

    I removed Office 2010 & 2013. Then reinstalled 2013, I kept getting the same error.

    I also re-installed office using the 60-day trial & keep getting the same error.

    Now I cant used office 2010 nor 2013.

    i uninstalled office from control panel.

    i deleted the registry key for
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office

    i used ccleaner to clean the registry

    but with all that I am still receiving error 25004.

    Well, you did not followed my explanations, use the tools from M$.
    Are you sure that Office 2010 and 2013 have been removed ?
    Did you convert Office 2013 to VL with MTK ?
    How did you activate Office 2013 ?

    I think your Office 2010 installation still exists, if you have another computer without any Office installation, try to install Office 2013 VL and activate with MTK and let us know your comments.

    I re-installed Office 2013
    Using EZ-Activator on MTK 2.4.1

    I got this:
    ----------------------------------------
    Installing Any Matching Volume Keys.
    ----------------------------------------
    Attempting To Activate Microsoft Office
    Attempting to Activate OfficeProPlusVL_KMS_Client
    <Product activation successful>

    Is this activation permanent or will be stop after 1day??

    KMS activations last 180 days by design. EZ Activator creates a task to reactivate once daily and at every restart, so it´s nearly permanent :D.

    (OP)

    That is what I done, and office 2013 worked fine but after restarting the computer office 2013 is stuck in the configuration progress loop. Nothing seems to be able to take it outta the loop.

    I don't use Avast right now but if i remember you have several tabs in Avast where you have to exclude the autokms, not just the antivirus list. For be sure is not Avast, temporarly uninstall it, run the microsoft fix-it again, clean your drive with Ccleaner (files and registry), manually check if no reman traces of office are still there, if not réinstall Office and run MTK again.

    No more ideas from my side, except verifiy the stability of your OS on your laptop or PC.
