I have Office 2007 Beta 2 TR up and running, but it wants me to activate it. Everytime I go to activate it, it takes about a minute and then says: "The product activation system is temporarily offline. Please retry to connect in a few minutes" (This has been the message for more than 24 hours...) I was okay with just this "nag screen" while in beta, except as of today now all the buttons, etc. are disabled so now I NEED to activate... What can I do!?
it's beta, you don't a License thats purchased. go here, file it as a bug and check back often or do a search for any potential fixes/workarounds: forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=722&SiteID=17
A pure long-shot and probably a very unlikely one (but an easy one to try nonetheless). Try disabling your firewall in case it's causing the activation attempt to time out. Failing that, do as MrMojo sez.
