Default Problem with Product Keys for 2007

I had the same problem. I was able to call the activation number and
get what I needed activated. I would say if you cannot get the first
person you talked to to activate your product I would call back and try
your luck again.

The keys posted to the Technet Download area for InfoPath and OneNote are the
same keys. Both products can be installed without a problem using the key,
but you are only able to activate one of the two products. In my case I
installed InfoPath first with the key and then activated it without a
problem. I then installed OneNote with the key and tried to activate it and
it failed with the following message:

"Your copy of Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 cannot be activated because the
specified Product Key has already been activated the maximum number of times
permitted for your software license as specified in the Microsoft Software
License Terms."

Visio and Project share a single key as well, so I would guess they have the
same issue.

Can you describe your problem? I only have heard of MSDN so far having
issues.

Check the note on MSDN. That will explain to you what the problem is and
how it will be resolved.

Had the same problem was able to activate over the phone. I am not sure
what will happen if I have to activate more installations though.

Everything seems fine now with MSDN. I was even able to retrieve my product
keys.

However, Visio's activation process fails. Something about "Product Key has
already been activated the maximum number of times..." ... Which is total
hogwash. *sigh*
