Office trial activation

[elli2898]

I have just bought a new laptop but when I go to the Activatio
Assistant it brings up a webpage that has an HTTP Error 401.2.

I have tried looking into the problem through the Microsoft website bu
it keeps asking me to go to the Internet Information Services Manage
and there is nothing on my computer with that title.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this sorted because I need to ope
the Activation Assistant to get my 25 digit product key!

I have already been to that webpage and it says within the resolution
that I need to access Internet Information Services which I do not have
on my computer. I have followed where it tells me to find it and it is
not there.

You can get a new product key for your trial version by going to M$ website
and downloading the trial version again. Make sure you provide the correct
email address so that a product key is emailed to you (as well as shown on
the screen when you are downloading but people always miss this!). You also
need to uninstall the product that is already installed because it is likely
the time period has expired.

M$ has security features that prohibits you to re-install the trial version.
You will therefore, need to delete the registry key but this is not for
novices!.

Let us know if you need any further information as to how you can convert
trial version into full version without buying anything! PLEASE STOP USING
TECHARENA BECAUSE MICHAEL (PUFTA WITH SMALL BRAIN ON THE WEB) IS NOT FOND OF
THEM!

NO it does not say Internet Information Services . Read it again and this time
carefully.

To resolve this problem, enable at least one authentication method. To do this,
follow these steps:
1.. From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and
then click Internet Services Manager.
2.. Under the Tree pane, browse to the desired Web site.
3.. Right-click the Web site, and then click Properties.
4.. On the Directory Security tab, under Anonymous access and authentication
control, click Edit.
5.. Select (and implement) at least one type of authentication method
