In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to install and activate Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (PC).
Before installation
Before starting the installation, you need to uninstall any Office software already on your PC. This reduces the risk of errors during installation.
This includes:
Microsoft 365 — including a free trial that came preinstalled on a new computer
The standalone OneNote app
Any earlier version of Office
Uninstalling Office does not delete your documents, spreadsheets or Outlook emails.
Installation

Activation
Follow these steps carefully to complete the activation.
Do not skip any step – especially Step 6 where you must choose the correct activation method.
STEP 4
Open any Office program, such as Word, using the Windows search bar.
STEP 5
When Word opens, a window should appear asking for your product key.
Enter the product key you received from us via email.
If the window has a checkbox for activating the product automatically online, uncheck it, then continue.
If the product key window does not appear:
Click the File tab and then Help.
Click “Change Product Key” to open the window manually.
If you already entered your product key during installation, go straight to Step 6.
STEP 6
When the next screen appears, choose the option:
“I want to activate the software by telephone.”
Click Next to continue.
Important:
You must select this option or the activation will not work.
No phone call is required – the process is handled online in Step 8.
If the activation wizard does not open after you enter your product key, close Word and open it again, or go to File > Help and click “Activate Product Key”.
STEP 7
You will now see a window with your Installation ID.
Keep this window open — you’ll use the ID in the next step.
STEP 8
Now go to our activation service: https://nordkey.io/activate
Then follow these steps:
Enter the email address you used when you placed your order.
Enter the Installation ID from the activation window.
Click the “Get CID” button.
Wait 30–60 seconds.
Your Confirmation ID (CID) will appear.
Tip: You can upload a screenshot of your Installation ID using the Camera button, and our system will fill it in automatically.
STEP 9
Go back to the Office activation window.
Enter the Confirmation ID you received in the fields A–H.
Click Next to complete the activation.
STEP 10
To verify that Office is activated:
Open Word or Excel. Tip: use Windows search or press Win + S to find your Office apps.
Click the File tab and then Help.
On the right side you should see: Product Activated.
