Office 2007 activation wizard is unable to find a connection.

If you want to give it a proper evaluation, then wouldn't it be better to
wait until they get most of the kinks worked out.

And if you only have one computer and insist on downloading betas within 24
hours of having them go public, you need to be aware that there will be
problems and your computer may be down for an undetermined time. There's no
way I am going to download the beta until I can do it on a different system.
This one is my lifeline. I use it for business and personal work. I cannot
afford to be without it.

Since you should be testing the beta on a second computer, you should
just
give Microsoft time to resolve the issues and continue working on your
regular system.

The workarounds in the Knowledge Base article make no difference.
Office 2007
Beta 2, will not activate.

I'm having the exact same problem.

Can I put a me too on this?
I tried turning off my firewall and no dice. (Even though it is set to
allow
word to access)

I hope iot is not because i use forefox as my default browser (using
Forefox
to post this message)

Some folks only HAVE ONE computer. It is good to know that Microsoft iS
AWARE of this and should be working to solve this.

Many of us would like to have Office 2007 activated so we can give it a
proper evaluation.

Hi,

The servers for activation are very heavily loaded at present.

Either keep trying to activate (if you feel you have to straight away)
or wait until a quieter time (for products where you are allowed
multiple starts before activation).
