The software STILL complains.Īt this point, my wife, on who's laptop this is being a PITA, is SO totally pissed off at Microsoft she says she'll switch to gmail for all her email stuff and we'll put Office Home 2010 back on her box for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. That said, I bought 'em thinking they were real, and it'd be REAL nice if this one was made to work.Īnd guys, STOP telling me to run the office update - IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. This is what comes up on my desktop, so I'm sure there'll be some garbage about how it's not a legitimate version for the normal, stupid user that just keeps shoving money at MS. LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, RETAIL channel LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019MSDNR_Retail edition I haven't gone out and gotten the license from the laptop, but I'm confident it'll say it's something MSDN since both OTHER systems say that. If so that might explain why all of sudden your key stopped working. I have read somewhere that Microsoft recently started cracking down on this kind of abuse. In any event at some point your license key may have been used enough times to trigger a flag on the license servers. Also, some people who bought the same key might have just given it to all their friends. You have no way of knowing how many other people were sold the same license key as you bought. If you really have a MSDN retail license it is easy to see why it might stop working. Please post back as to what the output shows you. Type cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus, and then press Enter.
