On my new samsung notebook running Windows 7 purchased from dealer in Cyprus. Office is pre-installed I can not open that program because the window asks for Microsoft product key if I feed in the correct and original key it is rejected.
Note on my other new notebook again Samsung running Windows 8 there is also a pre-installed Office that program is running perfectly no problems with activation key etc.
When home users and small businesses buy office, it is my personal preference to insist on the Boxed CD "FPP" or Retail license of your choice of the 3 Office bundles. In the Retail version you get the Installation disk built into exactly the same price you would pay for software only in the online download. And, it gives you the best set of user rights of the license.
It allows you to install on 2 or 3 machines at the same time and to transfer the installation when you want to. If your brand new computer "melts down" in the hardware warrantee period, it will be replaced, but you will have to BUY another PKC license! Note : no matter how you buy Office you need to keep "physical" copies of 3 pieces of information. With the first 2 you can get replacement copies from MS, with the last 2 you can re-install at your convenience without talking to MS ie 5 years down the line when you retire this machine and get a new one.
Hyperlink reference not valid. This key will activate Office on only one PC. No disc supplied. See www. The DVD may also be used to install Office on another. The number of installations 2 or 3 and users 1 or 3 depends on the specific Office suite purchased.

The Academic discount is the next best Office deal you will find. Academic is equivalent to Pro Plus. In theory your key should work on any Pro Plus installation file. If you purchased an Academic version, you can download the corresponding regular Office product from any download site.
For example, if you purchased Office Professional Academic , you can download Office Professional We understand that you would like to have the bit version of your Microsoft Office Professional Academic However most users install bit version of Office on both 32 and bit Operating Systems because currently many common add-ins for Office will not function in the bit edition.
The bit installation of Microsoft Office products is available for users who commonly use very large documents or data set and need Excel programs to access greater than 2GB of memory. There may be technical issues with the bit version and in order to install a bit version of Office product users must have a bit supported operating system on their PC.
I have yet to reply to it but I'm already annoyed. I ordered this with the impression that there was going to be an x64 installer just like the retail copies. They can either give me the installer or give me a refund at this point. Yes I know I can run the x86 version in x64 which is what I'm doing now , but I wanted Office mostly because it was going to be the first true x64 version of Office. For some reason I was not presented with an option to download the x64 installer.
There was just 1 download link and it was the old X Hi all. Remember you need to uninstall all remnants of any Office bit components beforehand. Microsoft has very thorough unique version-specific uninstallers at the Office support website you can run if there is any problem with the usual uninstall.
I tried pretty aggressively to get them to email me the I guess you need to get to the right person. All their emails that said they didn't offer bit installation were misrepresentations.
The trial version workaround solution sounds pretty good if it works for everyone--saves having to buy the backup disk. The Home Use Program is a deal where companies with a site or volume license activate part of that license agreement that allows their employees to get a copy of Office to use at home. The HUP is the best discount you can get. There is a Drop Down field at the top to select the country you live in. Note: the site is run by Digital River for MS. I did not receive my email.
Now what? That laptop is no longer working and i purchased a MacBook Air. I want to install Mac Office Professional According to the Apple web page I can "reassign" the program by getting a code and then deleting it from my system. Then to contact the technical manager to check my elegibility and reset it. This site sells discounted software and hardware to students.
But be a smart shopper. Some of their prices are NOT discounted. My personal preference is to avoid CTR for home use. You have to look carefully on the page for the 'advanced' link to get the "normal" installation file.
Ie All retail licenses are now for one computer, even if your original license was for 3 computers Home and Student Retail. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.

User's post on January 17, I reset IE. No change.
I posted a query about this and someone suggested I try to repair in safe mode. Tried but no success. My computer is a Dell Inspiron , several years old. Not terrifically fast but reliable. I managed to find the product key but the Microsoft site will not allow me to download the program to reinstall.
I tried to repair the click to run app, but same problem. Please, somebody, give me another suggestion. Thank you in advance. Try re-installing Office after installing Revo Uninstaller. Then uninstall Office with Revo. The Uninstallation of previous Office might have been unsuccessful causing Error! Remove office Completely and Try Again. Are u using Genuine Windows? Office might need that for successful installtion! It's really weird that there's no error code — how are you supposed to fix the problem?
You could try using the FixIt option here to completely remove Office — perhaps the problem is a bit of the program is still there.
