Microsoft Office Problem

Post by **=(V)=_The_Greek_** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:45 am

I bought my computer looong time ago. It came with windows and office. But now, I keep getting this ''warning'' every time I open any Microsoft Office program... I don't have any activation key since I bought this computer almost 6 years ago.

With it not activated, there's prolly a slew of security updates it has not gotten.

It was probably a promotional install to try and get you to buy it, and is only a trial version?
Check your paperwork to see if a install key, otherwise known as a Certificate of Authentication is in the package somewhere.

If not, you will probably have to find someone who has that version and is no longer using it and get the key from them, or buy a newer one. The Home and Student editions are always the cheapest one for Office.

i dunno if u bought a computer with a preactivated version of office for student use like i did, which downs the price of office. mine was only good for a set number of years, which is still not up but will be soon. but maybe yours is up!

that's cool but everyone uses ms office. and when you pull files that are created in the real ms office there are compatibility issues sometimes. At least with openoffice. I dunno about libre

Open Office is outdated since 2011, I think.

The problem is that I don't have the original packages. The windows and office were pre-installed. But since I bought it, I ve changed apartments twice, then i bought a laptop so I through away the packages of my PC. Then the laptop broke down so I returned back to this PC. So if I don't have an activation code to put it, does it mean I need ''new'' office?

It says that it's gonna require verification of the Installation ID. How am I gonna do that without any information from the original packages and activation key?
