How do I get rid of the activation error in office 2007?

M

Mangal Singh

I'm having trouble activating MS Office 2007 Professional Plus Beta 2(upgrade
from MS Office 2003 Professional). Similar symptoms occur with One note and
visio (all 2007 Beta 2).

1. Launch any microsoft office 2007 program
2. Help > Activate Product > Use Internet (only option) > Activation Wizard
with progress bar > Progress till about two fifths of the bar > Error saying
"Activation wizard unable to find a connection to the internet. Please make
sure that your connection is working properly and then retry activation in a
few minutes."

Very very annoying. I just have some 30 more times that I can use this
software. I also ran the Office diagnostics. It fixed one problem in the last
step without any more details (the step where it says analyzing 1 of 16
packages).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mangal

This is also happening to me.. it tries to activate then says I don't
have an internet connection. What a way to launch a new beta release!
