You can try the alternative phone activation hotlines[1], they might work.

I've enough valid licenses for every computer I use to have Office 2010 (or 2007 as I play with old hardware from time to time)/

I've reinstalled Office on a spare laptop 2 weeks ago, and it's just fine.

> Are there any tricks that can help? Still the same computer as I originally had it on.

Yes, there are ways to make it work. Use google to find them.

massgravel on github is probably the easiest route if phone activation doesn't work out.
