Unlock the full potential of Office 2010, while bidding farewell to its end of life support.
Troubleshooting Microsoft Office 2010 activation
If you’re having trouble activating Microsoft Office 2010, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.
First, make sure you have a valid product key. If you’re using a trial version of Office 2010, you’ll need to enter a valid key to activate the software.
If you’re experiencing issues with the activation process, you can try rearming Office 2010. To do this, open a command prompt window as an administrator and enter the following command: ospprearm.exe. This will extend the trial period of Office 2010.
If rearming doesn’t work, you can try activating Office 2010 over the phone. Microsoft provides a step-by-step procedure for telephone activation on their website.
If all else fails, you may need to uninstall and then reinstall Office 2010. Make sure to back up any important files before uninstalling.
Remember, if you’re a new Office 2010 user, Microsoft offers free support for activation issues. Just reach out to their support team for assistance.
Unable to activate Microsoft Office 2010 via phone
If you are unable to activate Microsoft Office 2010 via phone, there are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue.
First, make sure you are following the correct activation procedure. Open a command prompt window as an administrator and enter the following command: “cscript “%installdir%\Program Files%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs” /act“. This will activate Office 2010 using the product key.
If you are still experiencing issues, you can try re-installing Office 2010. Uninstall the program and then download and install a fresh copy from the Microsoft website.
If the problem persists, it may be due to a problem with the activation servers. In this case, it is recommended to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
Remember that Office 2010 is no longer supported by Microsoft, so it is recommended to upgrade to a newer version such as Office 365, Office 2013, or Office 2016. These versions offer better features and support.

3. Type “cmd” and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
4. In the Command Prompt, type “cd %installdir%\%Program Files%\Microsoft Office\Office14” and press Enter. (Note: Replace “%installdir%\%Program Files%” with the actual installation directory of Office 2010 on your computer.)
5. Next, type “ospprearm.exe” and press Enter. This will reset the activation timer.
6. You will receive a confirmation message when the rearm is successful.
7. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
By following these steps, you can effectively extend the trial period of Office 2010 and continue using its features.
