Default microsoft office activation assistant for netbooks

I bought a samsung netbook and received a year of office 2007 home and
student with it. When i try and get the key for it it comes up with a http
401.2 error code, saying I don't have authority to access the page so I am
unable to get a code to activate my office suite. How can I fix this?

What do you mean "try and get the key for it"? The key is on a label, not a
website.

You either get a retail version with key or a 60 day trial, and not 'a year'

Mine does exactly the same and allegedly has a year of pre-paid trial. There is not a key on any label either.

Exactly the same problem. Samsung Netbook, it is 1-year-prepaid - trying to get the code results in the 401.2 error.

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.
Internet Information Services (IIS).
Have logged a service request with Samsung and will post back with an update.

The servers are down. You can boot and use the trial version 25 times in the
meantime.

You can boot and use Office 25 times while waiting for the activation servers
to come up.

The servers are being updated which is causing the return of this error
message. Please use the 25 boots for the trial and check back shortly.
Apologize for the inconvenience.
