MS Office error - cannot verify license

[mgh]

I got office 2010 installed, though only Word and Excel, using this guide:

http://wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/ap ... -wine.html

Installed on a virtual machine, Linux Mint 12. When I open Word or Excel, I get the message that MS cannot verify the license. I have the key; you cannot install 2010 without a key.

Anyone else had this problem or know a fix?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Outside howtos are not supported here. If you want help here, reinstall in a clean wineprefix using Wine 1.4 or 1.5.0 and following the instructions in the AppDB.

Fair enough.

I will begin a new thread for another question relating to the AppDB.

Thank you.

I also encounter such problem with mine. Any solution?

This is what I did, from the AppDB instructions.

Go to etc/mono/2.0 and copy the machine.config file.

paste it in
wine/drive_c/windows/microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/CONFIG

I had to create a CONFIG folder, and in fact pasted the machine.config file in the v2.05.0727 folder, and into the CONFIG folder I created. After that, I was able to use Wine to install Office 2010 Pro just fine. Keep in mind, not all the Office applications run under wine.
