I have installed my Office on a new computer. The old computer doesn't work so I can't uninstall on the old one. Now my software is not valid. What is the process to revalidate this on my new computer?

Hi Westwn,

Can you run our diagnostic tool so we can see exactly which validaiton failure you are getting?

1)      Logon to the PC that is experiencing the notifications as a user with ADMIN rights.

2)      Download the tool:   http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 click RUN.

3)      When the tool loads, click CONTINUE.

4)      Is the RESOLVE button available? If so, please click RESOLVE to allow the diagnostic tool to repair the issue.

5)      From the Windows tab, click the COPY button.

6)      Reply back to this post and PASTE the results.

Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Westwn,

Can you try the following steps (please make sure to have the product key for Office available).

1) Go to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\
2) Delete the data.dat file.
3) This data.dat file is for Office (not OGA).
4) Once the file has been deleted, open an Office application such as MS Word and ACTIVATE it.
5) After product activation is successful, let’s try revalidating (this is the OGA part; Office Genuine Advantage): http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/Validate.aspx?displaylang=en

Please let us know how this works.

Thanks,
Michelle

The only file present is OPA11.bak.

The Office version is 2000 Pro, which I bought new. I'm concerned about upgrading it to a newer version, as it doesn't show as valid when run through the check on your web site. Is this a concern or will it upgrade successfully?

Hi Westwn,

Are you sure you've got Office 2000? The diagnostic shows Office 11 (which is Office 2003). Today the only Office products that are part of the Office Genuine Validation program are: Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007.

Did the validation failure details on the web page oultine all of the products installed on your PC, because it will state which one is not genuine or having the issue.

If you do choose to upgrade a copy that fails validation to another version of Office, you should not have any issue. The other thing you could try is uninstalling your old Office version and reinstalling it in case any files are corrupt.

Please confirm.

Thanks,
Michelle

Hello Michelle,

First, thank you for all your help.

There is One Note on the computer which came with it when I purchased it, which may be why diagnostics show Office 2003. The Office Professional version is definitely 2000, as both my disk and the Help-About selection say so. When I ran Office Validiation, it came back saying Office failed validation and didn't specify a particular program.

If it won't pose any issues for an upgrade, I won't worry about the validation issue go ahead with the upgrade purchase and see what happens then...

Thanks again.

Regards,

Nancy.
