Hello,

Please help me to get my Office professional plus 2007 (Beta) activated. I
have installed the program and I have installed the Beta two technical
refresh...

But when I try to activate through the activation wizard I get this message:
"The activation system is temporarily offline for maintenance. Please retry
to connect in a few minutes."

I have tried to connect for two days now! Surly this activation system can't
be offline that long?

Someone who know what to do?

Thank you.

Hi folks

> "The activation system is temporarily offline for maintenance. Please retry

Workaround: To resolve this problem, first uninstall the beta version of the
2007 Microsoft Office suite. Then, use the following product license key to
install the beta version of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite:
RQCRJ-FCTYM-V3PDF-GRD46-9YHXQ

Cheers
Volkan

Just keep trying it once a day. Try again tomorrow. It's a problem with
the activation servers and MS is working on fixing it.

The key Volkan posted does not require activation. If you don't want to
remove and reinstall, follow method 2 in this KB Article, which happened
to post the key as method 1:
