Hi Federico,

I suppose you did not receive further details from Crowk.

I have the same problem.

I've just downloaded and installed TFS and PS VM and ALL Microsoft Office Professional 2010 products are unlicensed. When asked to online activate the products trought Microsoft Activation Wizard, I received the message "your copy of Microsoft <product name> Professional 2010 cannot be activated  because the specified Product Key has already been activated the maximum number of times permitted for your software licenses....".

 

Could you help?

 

Thanks,

Carlos Andrade

Answer 6

This error message occurs if you do not perform an "Import" of the virtual machine into Hyper-V. Please follow the instructions detailed in the "Working with..." document for importing the virtual machine. If you simply create a new virtual machine and add the VHD to that virtual machine it will cause the activation error messages you are seeing now.
