MS Office 2007 activation in Vista RC1

Posted: 09-13-2006, 08:52 AM
I have a problem with the activation of MS Office 2007 Beta in Vista CR1.
When I try to activate MS Office 2007 the following error message keeps
coming up: "A communication error has occurred. Your request cannot be
processed at this time. Please try again in a few minutes".
I had no difficulty activating Office 2007 in Vista Beta or Windows XP.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jan

I had the same problem, I suspect the error is at the activation end as
after several attempts over about 36 hours it activated OK eventually,
Stick with it!

Thanks for that, MuppetSteve!
I had the same experience as you had: after refusing to activate for the
past three days Microsoft Office 2007 was suddenly activated this morning
after I posted this problem.
As you say: the problem must have been at the activation end.

Is the new tech refresh for Office 2007 for the version of beta we have
installed?
It is a huge download 494.7 MB.........I don't know if this is viable on
ADSL connection but it definitely must have been refreshed

sorry I have just realised this is not the link for my version I followed it
from a forum who didn't post the refresh one I should have and am downloading
now.
I am glad it wasn't the huge one.

Maybe they monitored this newsgroup, and didn't want to upset you, so they
finally let it update.
