Office 2010 activations are no longer available, neither the
automatic Internet ones nor activation by phone.(*)

We are supposed to have a site license, because we create and erase
virtual machines frequently, but Microsoft shot down Office 2010
activations on us anyway.

Thank you for the info!
Can act as proof that activation is needed for Office 2003 and no
phone support either.
