Quick Fix: Office 2010 Activation Error (0x80070190)

OK, so this is the error message I got this morning when trying to activate Office 2010 Professional Plus on my Windows 8.1 computer.

It was easily fixed by launching Office as Administrator after which the activation went through smoothly. A quick fix indeed!

  4. Let me simplify it:
    1. Right click on command prompt and start as admin
    2. Type cd\program files and hit the enter key
    3. Again type cd\Microsoft office and hit the enter key
    4. Again type cd\Office14 and hit the enter key
    5. Finally type cscript ospp.vbs /act and hit the enter key

    #NOTE:
    In the step 5 after ospp.vbs there must be space and type /act
