(OT) Office Issue?

[Guest]

I downloaded my copy of Office 2007 last night from microsoft's site.
Everything installed okay up to the end where you have to register for online
services (ActiveX + IE7 blockage). After I installed it I ran Outlook and
tried to activated it, only to get errors that there is no internet
connection. My question is are they allowing us to activate Office 2007 or
did I miss something in the setup which messed my activation up?

TIA

Activation is currently giving problems, just keep on trying.

The activation servers are way overloaded. Keep trying.

Just been informed that it should be fixed within 24-48 hours.
Having said that - anyone could say that... fairly generic response for
problems at the moment from Microsoft...
