Problem with Product Keys for 2007
Well... this just gets better!
We have an MYO with Software Assurance. Today, I downloaded Office 2007 Suite. The key wasn't on our license page. So I called Microsoft. Was told that I would need to speak to product activation to get the keys. I did this, and an email arrived with the Office 2007 key on it. Tried to install using the key, and it failed. Telephone product activation again and was basically told they couldn't help, and that I would have to speak to Technical Support. Eventually, when they found my company's details, they told me there is no telephone support currently for Office 2007. What's more, they told me to speak to my IT department... I am the IT manager so that's no good! I suspect nobody at Microsoft knows why the keys aren't working, or how to fix it... So, the question is, how can I use Office 2007? Answers welcomed!

about. Tech support for Office 2007 did start, so they should answer your questions. Something is screwed up and Microsoft is investigating...

I don't believe you are even going to get 10 activations. The key for the
desktop applications appears to only work for 1 or 2 activations. Rick " wrote: We're still waiting for the VLK to appear on our Gold Partner Volume Keys page.
