Microsoft Office 2013 Activation Error

Question

Facing Activation Error In Microsoft Office 2013 (Genuine Copy) Image Attached

our copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2013 cannot be activated because the specified

Product Key has already been activated the maximum number of times permitted for your

software license as specified in the Microsoft Software License Terms. For details about the

maximum allowed number of product activations, click Help, and then search for Read the

Microsoft Software License Terms.

Answer 1

Are you aware that the licesne terms for Office 2013 have been "improved". Retail licenses for Office 2010 and earlier allowed you to activate on up to 2 computers at the same time, and to transfer those installations to new computers as required.

Retail licenses for Office 2013 allow you to install on only one computer.  The license terms have been retroactively changed to allow you to transfer it to another computer if required (the initial license terms in Feb 2013 did NOT allow transfers!)

Question: you say the 2013 key worked.  Are you trying to re-install on the same computer or install and activate on a new computer (aka "transfer")?

To Transfer Office 2013:

1. you will have to uninstall from the current computer.
2. install on the new computer
3. activate on the new computer.

You will almost certainly have to do a phone activation (because I expect internet activation to give you precisely the error you are reporting).  When you do the phone activation, IGNORE the initial prompts. They too will give you the same error. Instead, wait a LONG time until you are given the option of talking to a live "service" rep.  Explain that you are transferring a retail Office 2013 license and have already uninstalled from the previous computer.

Answer 2

i tried to activation via phone but after completing everything the phone line disconnected

Answer 3

Hello Rajesh,

1. Had you installed Office 2013 previously and trying to re-install?
2. If so, are you trying to re-install on the same PC or different PC?

As you’re unable to activate online, you may try to activate over telephone and check if that works.

Refer to the link mentioned which explains how to activate Office 2013 program over telephone:

For further queries, reply and we would be happy to assist.

Thank you.

Answer 4

Your Office license does allow you to re-install on the same computer after upgrading Windows, so that will not cause a problem.

As I said before, your best bet now is to do a phone activation as I described in my earlier reply.
