Office 2007 activation issue
I had to reload my laptop and installed Office 2007 Beta 2.
When trying to activate I keep getting a "The Activation Wizard is unable to find a connection to the internet." error. I am using a direct internet connection, no proxy, no firewall (even tried to activate over dial up). The strange thing is I also installed Viso 2007 Beta 2 and it has no problem activating! This has been going on for 2 days. Any suggestions? ccoates

Office 2007 activation issue
I've been trying to activate today and I'm also getting blocked. My attempts
[over the last 8 hours] generate the response that the site is down for routine maintenance so I should try again in a "few minutes". I suspect that they have a server problem and the activation sequence is just trying its best to interpret the lack of response as best it can. "Hil" wrote: I have the same problem.

I'm waiting out the storm too.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with a new key. No luck though. Same activation error. // Dave "Hil" wrote: I have the same problem.

Office 2007 activation issue
I'm getting the same error - it is insanely frustrating. I went so far as to
call microsoft and the simple answer was they see no issue with the activation servers. So, unfortunately, I'm not confident they are even aware there is an issue.

Firewall interfering perhaps?

Office 2007 activation issue
I wish. The machine is 110% completely open to the internet. I've activated
the beta on many other machines in the office with no problem. This one machine refuses to activate. I'm under the impression its an issue with microsoft since I activated the other boxes days before this one. I tried replacing the nic, using a wireless adapter... everything. Insanely frustrating. I know its just a beta, but a workaround to manually activate would be fantastic at this point. "Bob I" wrote: Firewall interfering perhaps?

Office 2007 activation issue
I have installed Office 2007 beta 2 and the TR on a computer with Win XP
Home. It worked fine for about 8 hours and now when I start Excel 2007 it immediately asks me to activate. I have tried about a dozen times, always the same message: "The product activation system is temporarily offline for maintenance. Please retry...". If I select cancel, Excel is completely disabled and I have to exit with Task Manager. My internet connectivity is good, and I have tried it with firewalls and virus products disabled. It looks like a timeout error to me. Can anyone help? -- Thank You. Sincerely, Financial Reporting, Inc. John Helmer President "Daniel Haskell" wrote: I wish.

I have the exact same problem. Visio works, Office doesn't. Microsoft: anyone
listening? "Hil" wrote: I have the same problem. "Chris Coates" wrote: I had to reload my laptop and installed Office 2007 Beta 2.

Office 2007 activation issue
OK... I finally got a hold of someone at Microsoft and she has written an
e-mail to her manager who will hopefully escalate it since she is not the person who can. Hopefully they will read these posts as well and fix the issue. "RonS" wrote: I have the exact same problem.
