    MS Office Activation tied to what?


    I joined this forum because of a specific problem caused by death of my hard drive. The drive wouldn't boot, but I could still read the contents. My system is a Lenovo 9960APU with Win 10 Pro 64. I got a new drive and started to rebuild from scratch. Everything was going great until I tried to reinstall my MS Office 2019 Pro Plus. I was able to install it fine, but when I tried to use it it said it needed activation. It was activated on my messed up drive about 6 months ago. I contacted Microsoft support and spent about an hour with them. In the end they said I'd have to get a new key. Boy was I pissed off.
    So I did. I bought a new key and was able to reinstall my MS Office 2019 Pro Plus, activate it and have been using it for a week.
    Today I took an image copy backup of my c:\ drive. I put in a new hard drive and recovered using the image copy. Everything worked smoothly. On reboot I went to my Outlook and low and behold, it said It had to be activated. I took the new drive out and replaced with the one I had just rebuilt, and on reboot my outlook was activated. If it was activated on my drive a week ago, why is it now not activated after doing an image copy/recover on a new drive? this was all done on my 9960APU. Any thoughts?

    :)

    MS Office 2007 no more activated...

    Hi Guys,

    I have 5 workstations.
    One of them was running properly an official MS Office 2007 under Win XP Sp3.
    Recently I replaced the MB.
    Office is no more activated and it is imposible to activate it by Internet or by phone.

    Curiously, the Microsoft customer support told me it's not possible because XP is no more supported.

    Are you aware of that?

    MS Office 2007 no more activated...

    I contacted a support manager and the situation is:

    1. With all my hardware modifications, I reached the limit number of activation (8).
    2. Microsoft is no more capable to force a new activation.
    3. They suggested me to uninstall and reinstall Office in order to redo an activation.

    This last point is not good for me because of the time required, specially with the online updates.
    May be, I have only to delete the product key into the registry but Microsoft is not able to confirm.
    Do you have an idea before I try to crack it?
