I'm having the same problem. I wrote Microsoft, and was nicely told that I
don't have any support from them in figuring this out. I'm reinstalling Office and the Beta 2 upgrade to see if I get a different result. This is very frustrating when I know that there's nothing wrong with my internet connection. |

Activation of trial version
Now, I'm repeatedly getting a prompt that says activation maintenance is
offline, and to try again in a few minutes. I tried this about 10 times yesterday before Microsoft Office switched to reduced-functionality mode. That's why I removed and reinstalled the whole thing. I just downloaded this two days ago because I know that I'm going to buy Office 2007. I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm down to 33 prompts to activate before reduced-functionality kicks in again. Will I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling this software until 2007 is released?! |

I have the same problem as yours. I called Microsoft. They told me that
they do not support Office Professional Plus 2007 Beta 2. Microsoft sucks! "Tracey Deskin" wrote: The activation wizard keeps saying that it cannot find an internet connection, but I'm connected. I can't use any of the products until I activate it! Help Please!!!!!!!!!!! |

Support for installation issues is always available at no cost, and this
should include activation. Try MS again. -- Suzanne S.

I've read through all of the other posts from people having the same
problems, and no one actually says if they found a solution to this problem......... If so many people are having issues with this, I don't think that I want to buy anything anymore........ especially if MS isn't going to help....... "Suzanne S.

Actually, Mikal is correct -- the Product Support group does *not*
provide support of any kind for Office 2007 Beta, because it isn't released software. Normally it might be possible to prevail on the Office beta folks to help, but the beta is officially closing tomorrow. The activation servers started causing trouble over the weekend, but that should have been fixed -- just in time to be shut down. If you have a copy of the Office beta installed, it will continue to work until after the official release -- IIRC, it will refuse to run after some time in March 2007. If you don't have it installed now, it's probably just too late. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

But Tracey's problems are with the Office 2003 trial.

The "thread drift" is probably my fault. I typed "Office 2007" in the
discussion group search box, and Tracey's problem appeared first. It was similar to mine. I thought I was on the right thread! Mea Culpa. Sorry, Tracey. But thanks to everyone else who is trying to help. I re-installed 2007, but no luck with activation yet. The info about the servers was illuminating. If I have to keep reinstalling Office until March, so be it. |

Oh goodie am I in for this mess also. I am downloading the trial upgrade to
2003 as I type this. But this part should help you. I just read it: Thank your for registering for the free 60 day trial of Microsoft® Office Standard Edition 2003. Please note that Microsoft does not provide technical or other support for this trial software. And, you must have your existing Microsoft Office back-up media if you choose to return to a previous edition of Microsoft Office after using this trial. -- Are you ready for this...?
