Office 2010 Professional Plus not available!

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to this Forum. I've purchased Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus (German language, Volume Licence Copy, likely used) from a software store just a few hours ago. I couldn't download it's ISO file here:

Download Earlier Versions of Office

because this site is for regular Office editions (Home & Student, Home & Business, Professional) only. So I tried to download the ISO file by using heidoc's Windows ISO Downloader. But there too, I couldn't find any selection option for "Professional Plus" and right now, I'm stuck solely with the licence key, which is useless without an installation image...

Plz help!

The download tool uses MS TechBench as a source to generate the links. TechBench generally only carries downloads for retail licenses, not volume licenses. I could re-enable Office 2010 Pro Plus in the downloader --- if I had a suitable product key to integrate, however, that would still not help you with your volume license.

I'm pretty much out of ideas.

You could ask in the Office forum. Maybe someone there has a good idea.

Why not? As far as I know, the "Professional Plus" edition of Office 2010 ships only as volume licences... (or are there exceptions?)

I'm pretty sure that the Techbench Download is for Office 2010 Professional Plus Academic, which is a retail version ("Ultimate Steal" offer it was called back then). Developer licenses(Technet, MSDN. BizSpark etc.) are technically also retail versions, although they were never intended to enter circulation. Still, a lot of keys sold on eBay used to originate from TechNet labeled as "used software".

I'd still like to add Office 2010 Pro Plus back to the downloader, however, without suitable key, that's not possible.

Does your key work on this site?

If so, please let me know where you bought it. I might be interested in obtaining one as well.

The link You gave is exactly the same one like the one I gave in my starting post;) - like I said, that is only for regular editions of Office, not special editions (like "Professional Plus") exclusively confined to volume licences, MSDN licences or other "special" licence models...

I already tried my key on that site - the message said, it's "either not valid or not supported on this site"... I guess, the latter one applies.

The site, where I purchased this key, doesn't even offer official Microsoft installation files (like "X16-32180.iso" or "X16-32254.exe") - instead they gave me a DL link to some site, where I downloaded a zip-File and when I unpacked it, I couldn't believe it: there is not a single installation EXE or ISO, but a whole bunch of folders (each folder for one Office program - one for Word, one for Excel, one for Outlook, and so on), an autorun.inf file, a README.htm and a Setup.exe - the latter one is the "Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper". If I double-click it, the O2010 installation setup initiates...

It seems like, they just unpacked the contents of the installation disc and "offering" it as such - I was shocked. Definitely not professional - and not the kind of "installation media" I would accept. That's why I am searching for *official* installation files right now...

If the key doesn't work on the official download site, it will not do any good integrating it to the download tool. It would just generate the same error message.

Luckily, I made a dump of most hashes before the X16/X17 downloads were taken offline. So you will be able to tell whether any file you might find elsewhere is genuine or not.
