MS OFfice 2007 Beta Activation Problem

J

JonB

I also cannot activate MS Office 2007 via the activation wizard. The
telephone activation option is grayed out. The internet activation option
tries but I get a message that my internet connection is off, however, it's
working just fine. I made several calls to MS, reached an activation
department but they referred me the MS support site and told me to post my
question in the search box and that resulted in no responses. They also told
me there was an activation option via their web site, but I'm unable to find
that. Any help would be aprreciated.

Hi Jon,

MS does not provide telephone activation for Beta, Preview or Trial software.

Three common causes of Office activation via the internet not being able to connect are

1. Router security settings too advanced.
2. Proxy servers requiring username/password authentication.
3. Firewall/anti-[something] software not being set to allow the specific programs from Office/Activation to access the internet.

Each of these will need a workaround on your end.
