Microsoft Office Activation Key
« on: May 05, 2013, 03:03:07 PM »
So I go round to Pink Sis's to check out Mr New Pooter. It came with Office installed but she has never used it and therefore has never activated it.

I ask where she keeps the 25 digit ( ::)) Activation Code

Her: What?
Me: The 25 digit code

She goes rummaging and comes back.

Her: No idea. I prolly threw it away
Me:  Banghead Banghead Banghead

So. Anyone any bright ideas about how to get round this??  angel1

I know of no legal way.   But are you sure you've really lost out?

A lot of PCs come with Office preinstalled - 30 day trial copies.  Piggin useless.

Some come with Home and Student Office which legally you can't use for any business or commercial use and that begs a few rubschin: questions

Long long time since I've seen one come with a full Office licence,.

What version does it say when you try to start it?

Or what does it say in add/remove programs bit in control panel?

Mr B bought a new LT this week there is a 30day trial preinstalled ...
To have office installed it is another £110 and that does not include Outlook which is another £100....
Did she pay the extra to have the full office suite installed...  rubschin:
