Office 2010 Reaches RTM!

[LFB]

Same here with me: Office not found...

I think is just because Office 2010 is not released to market yet... only for MSDN and Techent...

I have installed Pro Plusx64 on 3 machines - all activated w/o issue.

Are ACTIVATION and VALIDATION the same thing?

No.

There seems to be. My installs are activated, but NOT validated.

Office Genuine Advantage

Problem: No Office products eligible for validation were found on this computer. This may be due to one of the following:

• The version of Office installed on this computer is earlier than Office XP.
• There are currently no Office applications installed on this computer.
• The version of Office you are using is hosted on another computer or a terminal server. Read more about this in the FAQ.

Solution: Purchase genuine Microsoft Office with a new computer, or from a retailer or software reseller near you. Learn more about how you can buy Microsoft Office.

This makes sense, When I got my RTM version of 7 it arrived a couple days before oct.22 and I installed it, activated it, but when I tried to validate it before the actual release date it wouldn't do it and told me to try again after the 22nd.

I've got 3 legal installs thanks to TechNet - I'll be renewing that deal in the beginning of June.

I'm going to renew mine the first week of June also, no doubt about it.

Okay, so I reinstalled Office, and got nowhere. It activates just fine. It's the validation that is giving me problems. Probably for the reasons already given. It is nice to know others are in the same boat though, and it's not a problem with my machine or something.

This is exactly why I normally opt out of Microsoft validation. It's a royal pain in the ass, and just causes problems.

I'm sure if you Googled it you can find the answer to that question. Search engines are an amazing tool.

June has been the only time frame I've read for UK.

June 15 is the date for stores, which I've assumed to be just the U.S., but it may include other countries.

Does anybody know the differences between the Beta & the RTM version? I have been using the Beta for 2 months now and am wondering if I should install the RTM from Technet.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello toughbook.



That would be the best thing to do.

Welcome to Seven Forums toughbook. I agree with BFK. Don't forget to uninstall the beta version first though. I'm not sure if the RTM versions installer will remove the beta, so better to be safe than sorry, and remove it manually.

It doesn't, you must manually remove it.
