Windows 10: Can't validate office 2013 on windows 11

ckrobinson · Jul 6, 2022

I know MS is only interested in money, but I'm sorry, I'm not rebuying a product I already own and I don't care if it's outdated. I've installed Office 2013 on a new windows 11 install and it refuses to validate the license. MS "support" told me that I need to uninstall it on my other computer -- so I did. And it still will not validate my license key. It always comes back as "key already in use".The key, is not in use.And, in fact, I know this because when I install office during the install it ASKS for the key and accepts it. But when I pull up Word of Excel, it asks for the key AGAIN, then

What is an "ACTIVATION KEY CARD" for Office 2013 ?

Office 2013, 2016, and 2019 Licensing

Once you have installed Microsoft Office 2013 / 2016 / 2019, you can validate that your license has been activated by following these steps:

Open Word

Click on File tab

Select Account

On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see the product activation information

ok MisterEd, My screenshot below shows what you directed me to.

I then entered the Product key and it took me to the next screen.

Am I going to have to do this each time I use new app in Office 2013 ? Such as Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher etc ?

Office 2013 error

Some had the same issue. Try one of those advises:

Based on my research, this error might occur when Excel (or Word) can not locate system's Temporary folder and can be fixed by doing the following:

Open Start > Run > regedit

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders and modify the key Cache with a valid path (ie: C:\Windows\Temp ).

BTW, if you are opening these documents from intranet or trusted sites, also check the Internet Options > Security, uncheck the Enable Protected Mode option under Local intranet and Trusted sites if they are checked.
