I've just taken delivery of a Samsung N140 Netbook with Windows 7 and have exactly the same problem. MS Office is preinstalled together with a desktop icon labelled 'Microsoft Office 1-year Prepaid - Online' This runs "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Activation Assistant for Netbooks\" which hits https://trial.trymicrosoftoffice.com...k/connect.aspx giving the following error: HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.

Have logged a service request with Samsung and will post back with an update.

Ok so in January they said the servers are being updated?
It's now April! what's going on?

I too have a samsung netbook and it says we have a "one year prepaid online"
.... I've had my netbook for a few months but only recently wanted to use the
Office program and so needed to validate and enter the key .... I'll be
demanding a refund from Samsung if they fob this one off, part of the reason
I chose this netbook over another was for the 1 year Office applications.

Has anybody been able to sort this out?
