Reactivation of a one-time purchase license
Si ya usó una licencia de compra única para Office que posibilita la instalación en solo una computadora al mismo tiempo, y no ha desinstalado la suite antes de reiniciar la computadora o venderla, el server de activación de Microsoft puede activar el error ERR_MISSING_PARTNUMBER debido a que cree que de hecho, está intentando instalar la suite de Office más de una vez.
If this scenario is true, you should contact a Microsoft Live agent and ask them to activate your license key.
Remember that when you contact a Microsoft agent, you will be asked to provide certain security settings to confirm that you are the owner of the license key you are trying to activate. If everything is correct, your Office license is activated remotely.
