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.

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'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
