    MS is failing to verify my licence for Office Home & Student 2010

    I am completely baffled as to why when trying to open a docx file less than an hour ago I was greeted with: Microsoft Office cannot verify the licence for this application. A repair attempt failed or was cancelled by the user. The application will now shut down.
    Trying to open xlsx produces the same response.

    This is a 100% genuine Microsoft OEM Office Home and Student 2010 package which I've used for years and is running on my rather dated laptop, with Windows 7 (64) as the operating system.

    Can anyone throw any light on why this has occurred and how it can be rectified?

    These are listed as for later versions, but you may want to try the steps anyway (using the MSI install steps): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/off...ce-application

    Thank you Rory - have checked out the link and will effect the procedure later. In truth I wasn't expecting such a quick response and have to leave the house now for a few hours!

    Will report back what happens!

    Something probably got corrupted.

    If all else fails, you might try uninstalling, then reinstalling Microsoft Office.
