When are they going to have the Office 2007 B2 activation servers fixed?

That I don't know, you just have to keep on trying.

Hmm... they worked fine last night. Except, if you install the OfficePro on
one machine then another, it crashes on the second machine. Stuff
downloading it again - already gone 3GB over my bandwidth this month just
downloading Vista!

Somebody screwed the activation servers or else they simply are
overloaded cause literally thousands cannot get office 2007 activated as
we speak.
All are having exactly the same problem.

Frank I had no problems yesterday other than I installed on a xp pro machine
and when I ran the tools checking how it was doing that trashed it, had to
boot up in safe mode could not uninstalled it from control panel, had to use
system restore, haven't tried a reinstall yet.

ones.

EULA says that the copy of Office 2007 (in my case Office Pro Plus &
OneNote) that is downloaded can only be used on one machine - they
specifically say you can not put it on a second to test against each other.

I think that they expect people to download a second or third copy for
additional machines.

Activation servers are still screwed up.

Individual dl's for each machine is the way to go.

When you request subsequent downloads with a different email address you
still get the same activation key. So I don now that it matters.
