Activation error message for Office 2007

[micheleh]

Every time I try to activate my trial version via the internet, I get an
error message that says "a communication error has occurred. Your request
cannot be processed at this time. Please try again in a few minutes" Well I
have tried again---and again-----and again! And I still get the same
message! HELP PLEASE!!!
Also I do not have a disc so please do not suggest I uninstall and
reinstall with the disc! I downloaded the trial version from microsoft's
internet site.
Thanks!

There have been times when the activation server was very busy and wasn't
functioning properly. Since the beta version just expired last weekend and
Friday was a holiday for many folks, *maybe* there were a lot of people
installing the released version. (Just a guess.)

You get something like 25 (or is it 50?) times to open a program before it
needs to be activated. Just take a deep breath, have a cuppa tea, and try
later today or tomorrow.
