I am using windows 11 and I still use MS office 2010.. and it still works fine.. HOWEVER.. I had to reset my pc and now no longer have that program.. BUT I DO still have the disc.. the problem is. This used a validation server to validate my program before installing it. Those servers (including game servers from old games) no longer exist.. is there a way for me to get around this so I can reinstall it on my PC.. or is it just toast??
 
Per Forum rules we cannot help with "get arounds".

Start by contacting Microsoft.

They may still have some provision for those continuing to use MS Office 2010.

Do you have the Product key? You may be asked to provide the key.

i am not trying to cheat anyone or anything and yes i DO have the product key.. microsoft wont help because they want me to use the NEW office 365.. what should have happened was not only office but all the other games we used to have to use validation servers.. they should have provided a way for us not to have to use that anymore since they cut us off at the knees.. it was a perfectly good product.. i didnt use it very often but i DID use it.
