Did you get a key license install that will crap out in 30 days when you just popped in the disk?
Try this to check:
In the installed directory for office:
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

That should tell you the version info and expiration.
If it is set to expire and you want to enter a MAK key, you
can go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Pick Awface
Then choose "Change"
Then select "Enter a key"
Seems volume license key versions of Office 2010 don't allow you to enter the volume license key anymore on install.
Nice MS. Saving me time by assuming I am damn pirate out of the gate.

Oh, and yet another thing.... After registration, it seems the ospp.vbs might be deleted?
Ugh.
Update ---

Much more info here:
https://www.apeswithcomputers.com/article/use-cscript-to-activate-office-2010-2013-2016
In case that link goes away, here is the boiled down info:
Office 2010: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
Office 2013: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
Office 2016: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16

current key value:
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

Uninstall a key:
execute cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:XXXXX
Replace the XXXXX with the last five character of the currently installed product key (see current key above).

Install a new key:
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Replace the XXXX with your full product key of Office.

Activate with the new key:
cscript ospp.vbs /act
