Before you can start using Microsoft Office 2010, you will be required to activate your product via the Internet or telephone. If you do not activate Office 2010, you may have limited access to features when attempting to use the product.

Steps

Activating via Internet

Launch the Microsoft Office 2010 application on your computer.

Click on “File” and point to “Help.”

Click on “Activate Product Key.” The Activation Wizard will display on-screen. If “Activate Product Key” is not displayed under “Help,” your software has already been activated, and no further action is needed.

Select the option to activate Microsoft Office 2010 online using the Internet.

Follow the steps in the online Activation Wizard to register and activate your product. You may be required to enter the product key, as well as your name and contact information. The product key is comprised of 25 characters, and may be printed on the receipt or packaging associated with Microsoft Office 2010.

Activating via Telephone

Launch the Microsoft Office 2010 application on your computer.

Click on “File” and point to “Help.”

Select the option to activate Microsoft Office 2010 by telephone.
