Changing MS Office 2010 Product Keys

After slight hiccup upgrading some PCs to Office 2010, I thought some of you guys may find this information useful.

You can change the product key for Office 2010 packages as follows:

1. Open a command prompt window in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
2. Type “cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx” Replacing the x’s with the appropriate product key.
3. Once this has completed successfully, you can proceed to activate Office 2010 from the Help menu inside any Office 2010 program.

Additionally, running the ospp.vbs file without any parameters will bring up a help menu with some additional and potentially helpful commands.
