Microsoft® Office 2010 Key Recovery

All the Microsoft Office products require a key to authorize and authenticate the use of the software. The subjects could lose their key in a variety of ways such as accidental deletion or deliberate misuse. The administrator might also want to recover the key of a particular subject to access data protected by that key. The key recovery could be used whenever the key archival process has stored the subject's private key. The recovery process of key requires an administrator to retrieve the encrypted certificate and private key and then a key recovery agent (KRA) to submit to the certification authority. The subject's certificate and private key are provided to the requestor when a correctly signed key recovery request is received.

Key recovery

The Microsoft Office is a suite of applications for desktops and servers that runs on both Windows and Mac platforms. The applications of the suite include Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Microsoft Outlook 2010. The software will not fully function without the license or product key. If you lost your key then there are different methods to recover it. You could try any of these methods to recover your Office key if it has been lost, misplaced or deleted from your system.

Contact Microsoft support

The primary method is to contact Microsoft support and inform them that you have misplaced or lost your Office key. To locate the code in your computer's registry, which is where it is stored, they will instruct you on how. Without assistance it is not recommended to go into the registry, because one wrong deletion could cause your computer to become inoperable.

Another method to find the key is by downloading and installing a key finder application. The key finder software includes Product Key Finder, Product Key Explorer and Windows Product Key Finder Professional. Key finder software searches your files and system to find the lost Office key. If you have the packaging and CD case for your Microsoft Office software, the product key can be found on a sticker attached to the case.

The restoration is another method to get the key. For that start from the system tray located at the bottom of your desktop, then click 'All Programs' from the 'Start' menu and click 'Microsoft Office' from the list of applications, click on any Office program in this folder and wait for a few seconds. There will appear a box prompting you to enter your Microsoft Office key. Finally enter the key and then click 'OK'.
