Patrick Schmid [MVP]

Many of you have reported problems activating Office 2007. Microsoft is
aware of the issue and working on it. They don't know yet when the issue
will be resolved.
This has nothing to do with the upcoming end of the beta. You should be
able to activate the Office 2007 Beta up until its expiration (February
1 for Beta 2 and March 31 for Beta 2 Technical Refresh).
Please be patient and try again in a while, e.g. tomorrow. If that
doesn't work, keep trying later. The issue should hopefully be resolved
soon.

Patience is a virtue, but virtue is not patience with Microsoft.

Virtue: 1 a: conformity to a standard or right : MORALITY b: a particular
morale exellence. (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 2003)

Help comes in two disguises: helpful and not helpful. The latter accurately
depicts this situation.

Why bother with the unecessary frustration with beta products? Simply
uninstall and your problems are washed away into the sea of abysmal
Mirco(soft) nonsence. Alas!!!

The suggestion only pertains to persons who have the installation disc. The
suggestion is not specific on resolving the downloaded proggy, as the
downloaded version doesn't ask for the product key for activation.

You failed to provide accurate information, suggestion, and resolution. I
haven't read any replies mentioning that your suggestion worked.

I can develop a crack, but I don't have the time right now. Life goes on
with or without Micro(soft)nonsence.

Affiant sayeth not further.

I have no idea what you are talking about. There are tens and tens of
posts of people who used this successfully. Notwithstanding the topic of
the KB, it gives you either a key that doesn't require activation (you
need to enter a key no matter whether you have the CDs or the download)
or a method of how to change the stored key to that one for already
installed copies.

You are a troll.
