Hi List,
Unlike myself, my wife never spends any money on anything computer related
and waits for me to resolve her problems....
Currently she has a very nice Microsoft SurfacePro laptop I got her and it
is running W11. Her old PC ran W1O and Home Office 2010 that was family
software (I think you could have 4 users on it). I installed Office 2010
ok but the 32 bit version because one of my daughters has or has lost the
64 bit disc and isn't owning up to it.
So far so good except I can't activate the software because it does not
generate an activation code which means you can't activate it by phone
either. After spending some time on hold to MS I gave up and thought I
would ask the list instead.
The solution of course is for her to 'find' the money for a more recent
copy of office just like I had to for myself, this doesn't seem very likely
in the near future. So any ideas why the software won't generate an
activation code and would spending time on a long call to Microsoft simply
be a waste of my time (yes, she isn't good with this kind of phone call)?
Thanks and probably better than googling for an answer again and if the
list draws a blank I'll tell him to start saving up and to stop wasting
money on stuff she doesn't need . ..
Regards
Daniel - in England.
