Default Problem with Product Keys for 2007

Is this by design???! I don't remember reading anything of the sort in any
MSDN EULA... quite the opposite I thought.

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.

MSDN is a similar mess:

Default Problem with Product Keys for 2007

Patrick,

Thanks for the update. This is the exact problem that I was having with
Technet plus when I started this thread. Hopefully those keys will be
updated for Technet plus also.

Thanks,

Rick

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.
