Installation and activation of German proofing tools

I have installed the free 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the German Proofing tools from the Microsoft office website for Office 2013. However, in the "Set Language Preference" of Word, I continue to receive the status that the proofing tool is not installed. I can activate the language in this box but the German proofing continues not working. I have restarted the Office applications and Windows 7, but with no success. Any tips?

For Office 2010, you have to purchase a language pack, yes. Proofing tools are free only for Office 2013, unfortunately.
