Note that a product key finder program won’t work because Microsoft uses different keys for retail products than they do for OEM products such as the one included with your computer’s purchase price.
5a) If Office is activated successfully, you’ll see this screen: “You’re all set! Office is now ready for use.” Click Close to complete the process and close the Activation Wizard screen.
You can now continue using Office 2010 on this computer without issue until you uninstall it or install it on another computer (up to the maximum number of installations allowed by your license agreement).
5b) If you see this error message instead: “Telephone activation is no longer supported for your product,” it means that we were unable to automatically activate your copy of Office 2010 over the Internet because support has ended for activating by telephone as of October 13th, 2020 (see End of support for activating Office by phone). To resolve this issue so that you can continue using Office 2010 on this same computer without reentering a product key every time you open an application: Right-click any Microsoft Office document (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, etc. select Properties from the context menu that appears, click Advanced at the bottom of the General tab if necessary to expand more options), check (select) Encrypt contents to secure data under Compress or encrypt attributes section near the bottom of the dialog box), and then click OK at both screens/prompts (the file will be encrypted which helps reduce its size; also may take a few moments depending on file size.
This will prevent having to reactivate with a valid product each time an app is opened but still requires occasional reactivation after extended periods per localized policies configured within Windows OS (usually 180 days give or take).
