How do I activate my Microsoft Office programs?

When you start your Office program for the first time after installation, you are prompted to enter your Product Key, if you have not already done so during Setup.

Activate over the Internet or by phone
When you enter your valid Product Key, the Activation Wizard automatically runs and it gives you two choices on how to proceed:

Activate by using the Internet The Activation Wizard automatically contacts the Microsoft licensing servers through your Internet connection. If you are using a valid Product Key that has
not already been used for the allowed number of installations, your product is activated immediately.
When you activate through the Internet, your product ID (derived from the installation Product Key) is sent to Microsoft. A response (the confirmation ID) is sent back to your computer to
activate your product. If you choose to activate your product through the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard alerts you that there is no connection.

Activate by using the telephone You can telephone an Activation Center and activate your product with the help of a customer service representative.

Important Activation Center numbers are not listed in this article, because there are many numbers, and the correct number for you is based on several factors. Microsoft software can be
obtained under various licenses, including individual retail licenses, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses, and volume licenses. Telephone numbers vary by product license and
country/region. In step 2 of the Activation Wizard, use the telephone number provided to call the Microsoft Activation Center.

Telephone activation might take longer than activation through the Internet. You should be at your computer when you call, and you should have your software Product Key available.

In the Activation Wizard, select the country/region where you reside and where you plan to use the product.
The wizard provides one or more telephone numbers.

Call the Activation Center.
The customer service representative asks you for your installation ID (displayed on your screen) and other relevant information. After your installation ID is verified, you receive a
confirmation ID.

In the Activation Wizard, type the confirmation ID in the spaces provided at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER.
Notes

Telephone activation is not available for Trial and Subscription versions.
Microsoft Text Telephone (TT/TTY) services are available for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. In the United States, using a TT/TTY modem, dial (800) 718-1599. From outside the
United States, using a TT/TTY modem, dial (716) 871-6859. TT/TTY service is only available in English.

How do I activate at a later time?
If you don't want to activate your copy of the software when you install it, you can activate it later.

If you have a problem with your activation, contact a customer service representative by using the telephone number provided in the wizard.

Note Telephone support is not available for Trial and Subscription versions. Therefore, the wizard does not provide a telephone number for either of these versions.


Click the File tab.
Click Help, and then click Activate Product Key.
Follow the instructions in the Activation Wizard.
When the wizard finishes, exit the Office program, and then restart it.
Note If you click Activate Product Key again before you exit and restart your Office program, you see a message saying that This product has already been activated.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any Activate Product Key button that you see.
Top of Page

How can I tell whether my software has been activated?
Click the File tab.
Click Help.
If you don't see an Activate Product Key button, your software has been activated.
If you do see an Activate Product Key button, your software hasn't been activated. You should follow the instructions in the "How do I activate at a later time" section.

What is a trial version?
A trial version allows you to evaluate the Office 2010 for a limited amount of time, typically 30 or 60 days.

Note Some trial versions cannot be converted to the full product. In such cases, you must uninstall the trial version and install the full product separately.

Top of Page

What does convert mean?

Convert means you have finished evaluating a trial version and have decided to purchase the full product. You are prompted to provide a Product Key that you already have or will purchase
online.

Top of Page

What is activation, grace period, and reduced functionality?
To continue to use all of the features of your product, you must activate the product. Microsoft Product Activation is a Microsoft anti-piracy technology that verifies software products are
legitimately licensed.

Activation This process verifies the Product Key, which you must supply to install the product, is in use on computers permitted by the software license.

Grace period Before you enter a valid Product Key, you can run the software for 30 days, which is the grace period. During the grace period, certain features or programs may be enabled
that are not included in the product you have purchased. After you enter a valid Product Key, you will see only the programs and features you have purchased.

Reduced Functionality mode After the grace period, if you have not entered a valid Product Key, the software goes into Reduced Functionality mode. In Reduced Functionality mode, your
software behaves similarly to a viewer. You cannot save modifications to documents or create new documents, and functionality might be reduced. No existing files or documents are
harmed in Reduced Functionality mode. After you enter your Product Key and activate your software, you will have full functionality for the programs and features you purchased.

What if I am using this computer using at work or as part of an organization?
If you are using this computer at work or as part of an organization, you might be using a volume edition of Microsoft Office 2010. For information about activating by using a volume
license, see Activate volume editions of Microsoft Office.

Top of Page

What if I am using Office Starter 2010?
If you are using Microsoft Office Starter 2010, the software came pre-installed on your computer. Office Starter 2010 is already activated, and there is no Product Key for you to enter.

The Product ID is specific to your Microsoft Office 2010 license and is verified during product activation. After your Office program has been activated, do the following to see the Product
ID:

Activate volume editions of Microsoft Office

There are two types of activation methods for Microsoft Office 2010: Multiple Activation Key (MAK) and Key Management Service (KMS). Your system administrator can tell you which type of
activation you must do. If you do not have a system administrator, most likely you must activate by using MAK.

If you must activate by using MAK, you must get a MAK key or your administrator must give you a MAK key.

If you must activate by using KMS, your administrator must troubleshoot the KMS host and your computer. For more information, contact your system administrator.

What is Multiple Activation Key (MAK)?
A unique Multiple Activation Key (MAK) key is given to each organization for each volume edition of Microsoft Office 2010. Each computer must then activate once with the activation servers
hosted by Microsoft. Associated with each key is a count of the number of activations. For example, a MAK key for a Microsoft Office 2010 product with 100 activations allows the
organization to install the same key on multiple computers and use up to 100 activations in total.

MAK is appropriate for organizations with computers that are not connected to the corporate network for long periods of time, such as portable computers. For this to work, a MAK key must
be installed instead of the default KMS client key that is used in volume license editions of Microsoft Office 2010.

With MAK activation, there is no requirement to periodically renew activation. You must reactivate if significant hardware changes are detected. In addition, you must request more activation
allowances after the number of activations passes the predetermined limit. You have to manage the installation of MAKs and the potential need to manually activate systems by using a
telephone when no Internet connection is available.

No functionality is lost even if the licenses for MAK clients cannot be renewed. Upon successful activation, users no longer receive notifications.

Top of Page

What is Key Management Service (KMS)?

Key Management Service (KMS) allows product activations on the local network. This eliminates the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft for product activation. A
computer is required to be configured as a KMS host. The administrator has to enter a KMS host key for the KMS host. The KMS host key has to be activated and connect once to Microsoft
hosted servers for activation.

By default, the KMS client key has already been installed in volume editions of Microsoft Office 2010 programs. Computers running volume editions of Microsoft Office 2010 by using a KMS
client key are called KMS clients, and they connect to an organization's KMS host to request activation. No action is required of the end user, and you do not have to enter a Product Key for
KMS clients. The system administrator must activate the KMS host with Microsoft and configure the KMS host. The KMS client can also be configured for variable lengths of re-activation
and renewal periods.

If a KMS client cannot activate, the end user sees a notification dialog box 25 days after installation of Microsoft Office 2010. If a KMS client has been absent from the network for longer than
180 days after successful activation, the user sees unlicensed notifications and a red title bar when you start Microsoft Office 2010. However, there is no functionality loss even if the
licenses for KMS clients cannot be renewed. Upon successful activation, users no longer receive notifications.

The Microsoft Office 2010 KMS clients activate by connecting to a KMS host based on a client–server topology. KMS clients can locate KMS hosts by using Domain Name System (DNS) or by
setting the KMS host name in the registry. KMS clients contact the host by using a remote procedure call (RPC). The activation process is invisible to the end user and does not require any
interaction.

Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Microsoft Office

By default, Microsoft Office 2010 installs the 32-bit version of Office 2010 even if your computer is running 64-bit editions of Windows.

Note If you already have a 64-bit version of Office installed on your computer running a 64-bit operating system, the default installation is the 64-bit version of Office.

Office 2010 provides support for the 32-bit version of Office 2010 programs running on 64-bit operating systems by using WOW64, a compatibility environment provided by the operating
system that allows a 32-bit application to run on a Windows 64-bit operating system. Using the 32-bit version of Office 2010 allows people to continue to use existing third-party add-ins for
Office that are 32-bit.

The 32-bit version of Office 2010 is the recommended option for most users, because it prevents potential compatibility issues with other 32-bit applications, specifically third-party add-ins
that are available only for 32-bit operating systems.

ActiveX controls library, ComCtl This library contains ActiveX controls that are used to build solutions. It is most commonly used in the following Microsoft Office programs: Access, Excel,
and Word.
SharePoint List control The list view in SharePoint Technology is not available to people using the 64-bit version of Office.
3-D PivotChart views in Excel Three-dimensional (3-D) PivotChart views in Excel are not available in the 64-bit version of Office. Two-dimensional (2-D) charts are available.

Compatibility with existing Office files and solutions
Note The 64-bit version of Office 2010 is not compatible with any other 32-bit version of Office programs. As a result, you must first uninstall all 32-bit version of Office programs before
you install the 64-bit version of Office 2010. The Office 2010 disc includes both 32- and 64-bit versions of Office 2010. To install 64-bit Office 2010, you must run Setup.exe from the x64
folder. For more information, see Install the 64-bit version of Office.

ActiveX controls library, ComCtl Any solutions that use these controls do not work. No good alternatives are available for some of these controls.
Third-party ActiveX controls and add-ins None of these work with the 64-bit version of Office.
Note There is no 64-bit version of Visual Basic 6. As a result, many of these objects need to be ported and rewritten.

Visual Basic for Applications The only way that Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that contains the Declare statement work in the 64-bit version of Office is if you update the
code manually.
Compiled Access databases The .MDE and .ACCDE files, a common way for Access application developers to distribute solutions and protect their intellectually property, do not work in
the 64-bit version of Office. You must contact the application vendor to have the vendor recompile, retest, and redistribute the solution in the 64-bit version.
Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) calls If you install the 64-bit version of Office, integration with Microsoft Office Communicator is lost, because Communicator is not
64-bit and MAPI calls do not go across the 32-/64-bit boundary. This might also apply to applications that integrate with Microsoft Outlook.
