Installing Outlook 10 on new computer
Finally broke down and bought a new bare bones laptop that came with
Win 10. One of the programs I must have is Outlook 10. Since I bought a copy at Best Buy a few years back and have been using it on a couple of computers I assumed installation would not be a problem. Not so, MS says the Product Key I have isn't valid. Do these things expire? Is there some limit on the number of computers that can use a single copy? Jim |

Is there some limit on the number of computers that can use a single copy? I agree with KenW that you've likely hit the activation limit. I don't have a copy that I can burn to test it out, though. -- Char Jackson |

See Char's reply. You probably don't mean Outlook 10. Do you perhaps mean Outlook 2010--a very different product from Outlook 10? |

Yes I meant 2010.
Reminds me of the time I asked my secretary if she proof read letters I gave her to type. Her reply, "Of course I proof read them. But I don't have 20/20 vision". \On Tue, 14 Aug 2018 08:11:19 -0700, Ken Blake wrote: On Mon, 13 Aug 2018 18:47:35 -0500, swalker wrote: Finally broke down and bought a new bare bones laptop that came with Win 10.

Apparently not. https://www.zdnet.com/article/big-ch...omers-loyalty/ "The license agreements for the retail editions of Office 2010 (Home & Student, Home & Business, and Professional) include three separate sets of terms. The Retail License Terms, which apply to boxed (aka "Full Package Product") software, include the ability to transfer licenses. The terms for OEM and Product Key Card copies, however, include this language: One Copy per Device. The software license is permanently assigned to the device on which the software is initially activated. That device is the "licensed device." " The retail version should be transferable. If you do "too many installs", you can phone Microsoft for support, as with activation issues the support is free. If you give them a good story, they can reset the thing, or give you another key which is effectively resetting things. You can't be using more than one copy at a time, if it's intended for a single device. While they sometimes sell three-packs of stuff for a limited time at introduction, those products don't stay on offer forever. Paul |

Your licence must be of a type which allows you to "transfer" the license from one computer to another. Some licences do, some don't. 2) If your licence allows transfer and Internet activation fails, then you have to resort to a phone activation. Do these things expire? Is there some limit on the number of computers that can use a single copy? As others have already replied, yes there is a limit. -- Kind regards Ralph |

The tool is made by Microsoft, you ignorant ****. Now, you can just hop off your high moral horse and STFU. BTW, in Spain, where I live, downloading, software, movies and music from torrents is not illegal for personal use. If ou decide to make money off your downloads, it is a crime. Otherwise, it isn't, you ignorant ****. |

I currently have Outlook 2010 installed on my Win 7 desktop and my Win 7 laptop. Laptop is only used when I travel. The Win 7 laptop is nearing the end of it's useful life so I bought the new laptop with Win 10 on it as a replacement when the Win 7 machine finally fails. So what I want is Outlook 2010 installed on 3 machines but use only 1 at a time. Sounds like that might not be possible. Thanks again. Jim |
