Customer Question

Hi,
I have purchased Office professional 2010 online, Genuine and sealed for 3 home pcs about a couple of months ago, when I tried to register it online and phone, it came back with invalid product key, how can it have an invalid product key if the package is sealed and the product key is hidden, and how do I get a valid product key, Thanks.
Regards, John

what happened when you tried to activate by phone? did you call them and request a key?

Customer replied723 days and 14 hours ago.

I got a not valid product key again,

last time I phoned customer support they told me it is a subscriber product or such and i will have to talk to the person who sold it to me

Picture
Expert:  Jerry Hannell replied723 days and 14 hours ago.

i am not sure but probably the seller is distributing the same product key to other buyers. (did you talk with the seller? what is he saying?)

Customer replied723 days and 13 hours ago.

Can't get an answer from him, he did ask me in a letter with the program to give him the product key when I opened the box and he would get me a new one from microsoft, I questioned this as it was a sealed package and the number would be unused. He sent me one earlier and it was not sealed and I could'nt activate it, so I emailed him saying the product was advertised as new and sealed, the opened box has a diferent product key: GKCYD-RMGW9-G26WC-XWXDM-RJHM4

Picture
Expert:  Jerry Hannell replied723 days and 13 hours ago.

did you try to use the new key? GKCYD-RMGW9-G26WC-XWXDM-RJHM4

Customer replied723 days and 13 hours ago.

yes i tried that first when the disc arived thinking he may have only used one of the 3 licences and was just onselling it with licences to spare, he sent me the new sealed disc when I complained about the product key not working and the fact the disc was used
