Default 2007 beta: obtaining a refund

Yesterday I downloaded Office 2007 Pro Plus beta (along with Visio and
Outlook Business Contact Manager), for which I had to pay a nominal
fee. After successfully installing Office this morning I was
unfortunately unable to activate it - as noted by many posters here.
Given that, judging by responses from MVPs, the activation process is
permanently disabled, I am left with only a handful of restarts, after
which the software will be rendered pretty much useless.

My question is how do I get my refund?
Or how do I obtain offline activation for my product?

thank you.

ps. No, I do not claim to be a beta tester. The product was made
available for download for everyone.

Default 2007 beta: obtaining a refund

The activation process will be continued up to the expiration cycle of the present 2007 Office System beta products. At present
there is a problem with the beta product activation servers that MS is working to resolve. Unfortunately, how long that will take
isn't known, but please hang in there
