Default 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?

Wow, that's an oldie, released in 2001 and included with Office XP.

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.

Are you sure you imputed the right key? If so, try using this tool:

I trust you know how torrents work.

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.

Oops. 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 ****.

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".

So which Outlook do you mean: 2010 or 2020? vbg

See: '"Copy", "Move" or "Transfer" an Office installation to another computer.'
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_install-mso_other-msoversion_other/copy-move-or-transfer-an-office-installation-to/956244a0-385d-4e21-a21e-87b4179111d1

Two key points:
1) There are different types of licences. 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?

copy?



As others have already replied, yes there is a limit.

Thanks for all the comments. 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

I don't _think_ so, though the activation servers may be turned off at
some point. (Though I believe XP can still be activated ...)

I was going to say "yes - one; there are times when you can buy packs of
several _licences_, often three, but each is only for one machine", but
what you said below reminded me of a faint memory of having seen a
scheme for enabling something to be installed on both a home and a work
machine (or something like that), on the basis that only one of them was
ever _used_ at a time. Although I don't _think_ that was a Microsoft
product.

I don't think so (from a single licence).

The batteries have died so it is no longer truly portable.
The screen resolution is going faint.
The video card is built on the mother board and the fans blow across
the card which is a problem if the CPU gets too warm which restricts
the usage for intense CPU calculations.
And something else I can't quite remember right now.
All of this could be fixed at more than a few hundred dollars. The
last time I checked the battery alone was north of $150. I check the
price for replacing the video card a while back and it was $200.
I don't think it makes sense to spend the $$$ for a very old laptop.

Compared to new laptops the thing is heavy and my 75 years-old
shoulder really hates the thing. (My wife says that is why I lean to
the right)

Need I go on?
