Screenshot leaked in January reveals Office 2010 activation period


Recommended Posts

right, i never worked under x64, it's only for X86

The x64 version comes up with the Activation screen but does not create any problems. Just X it and it goes away. Everything runs just fine.

I guess I will just wait until the next version of Office comes out.

TIA

Thank-You mikeyakagod,

Your rearm solution worked flawlessly. I'm thankful I can use the new office programs until the full version comes out. Waiting for your workaround on that one as well. Keep up the great work.

Peace (literally)

P.S. I'd rethink that "also known as" but that's your thing. I'm just happy for the fix.

Hello,

Any idea what I should do?

same here. Just click Close and everything works fine. Expired long time ago.

Stop abusing the re-arm feature ffs.

I know, right. Some of these have complained about others using 7 from technet on personal PCs, and equates it to theft, yet seems to be ok with bypassing a lock to make expired software work indefinitely.

It's a beta... it's hardly "theft" or "abuse" to reset the nag screen timer.

Main Entry: theft

Pronunciation: \ˈtheft\

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English thiefthe, from Old English thīefth; akin to Old English thēof thief

Date: before 12th century

1 a : the act of stealing; specifically : the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it b : an unlawful taking (as by embezzlement or burglary) of property

2 obsolete : something stolen

3 : a stolen base in baseball

The owner still has possession of his property, so it's not theft.

At least get your facts straight. It's at the worst copyright infringement.

The rearming command is there to be used. It allows you to reset the 30-day grace period twice. How is this abuse when it's built right into the OS and extensively documented?

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

now what do you do if you somehow messed up the activation and you're not in "grace" period anymore but get the (Unlicensed Product) thing in the titlebar? I don't wanna reinstall windows and rearm won't work unless I activate :/

Its working fine with 4417.

Bye-Bye

C:\Windows\System32>

That's basically a summary of how it works. Make sure to do it in administrator mode. All I've done with SC.exe is stop and restart the Office SPP Service and Query it to make sure it's running. That is the same as running services.msc and clicking Restart on the Office SPP service just through command line.

I personally missed out on getting in the beta program for Office 2010, and I've been testing out x64 version pretty heavily sending MS bug reports and all that. While I may not be in the official program, I'm sure all the bug reports MS can get pre RTM will benefit them especially for the 64-bit version. I use Excel heavily so I regularly manage to crash the application from doing things out of the norm.

Anyhow the 4417 build has 10 rearms. 64-bit has been great so far, and I look forward to the RTM next year. If you're going to use this beta just make sure you make an effort to use the send-a-smile and send-a-frown tools to give MS feedback. It's the least you can do as a tester (even if not officially one).

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
