Microsoft Office key not working on windows 10

[Koentro]

Good morning, guys.

I have had a key for Microsoft Office 2013 since I used Win 7. I updated Win 7 to Win 10 and used the same key to activate the Office package. I had successfully activated it but it gave me a message saying my activation was temporary, thus having an expiration date (60 days). After such period, the validation was reseted somehow, giving me another 60 days limit. Now, it's expired again and I cannot use Office. I try to put my key and it says my key is an Office 2013 one. I can't activate it and I have only this key. Maybe I've used the wrong version of Office 2013 or so?

Thank you in advance.

You might have to call Microsoft. Do you have a physical disc to load the program or do you have a digital download?

It was digital. When I installed win 10, I downloaded trial version of Office, I guess. But whenever I go to Microsoft web site to look for full version to install, I end up finding the trial one.

Did you ever buy Office? Do you own a legitimate version of the product key?

Why did you need to reinstall Office after upgrade from win7 to win10?
Probably you installed Office 365.

"Perpetual license for Microsoft Office 2013 can be installed on only one PC with no transfer available for any reason. Even wiping the hard drive from the old computer will not help to transfer it to new computer."

I opened Aida 64 and checked it's Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. It's the same key from win 7, but now it doesnt give me the access. Maybe the version I'm using of Office 2013 is a trial one, thus it's not allowing me to proceed?

Also, I've just tried to search for microsoft page to download that specific Office, but I havent found it either. The results give me Office 365 only.

I'll check the links you guys provided and I'll be back with results. Thank you! I'll be back in a while.

If you have never paid for Office and you do not own a legitimate product key, do not expect to get it for free forever. That is not how it works.

I didn't see this message. But I do own a product key, I acquired the product since I first had my win 7. Why are you assuming I didnt?

That's not how it works either.
