Office not activating – Microsoft Community.3 Ways to Activate Microsoft Office on PC or Mac – wikiHow
I updated because El Captain was crashing my old office install. I have taken all of the steps to get it setup and installed. I can login to office on the website and it shows my license, I can open the programs word and it shows me logged into that also. But the program absolutely refuses to activate. Now have finally hit my 15 days of trial and have been locked out of all of my work emails. I am in Taiwan now and activation still does not work at all, so i guess it wasn’t my location. I have tried everything except deleting the program and reinstalling.
I do not want to reinstall if possible since I do not want to lose my emails, accounts, rules, and folders I have set up. In the past this has taken me hours to redo.
The program gives me an error when activating and then tells me that I can activate by phone. Thank god! Lets see that window below.
Wait whats that? The last 3 digits are cutoff from their window, and I have no way to resize copy edit or other wise look at them in any possible way. Could Microsoft have been really so to have their own activation window smaller than the actual activation code? Seems so. Thanks for that. I have called the number and confirmed that this last set of numbers should be longer.
I had hoped it would give me other 15 days but that was wishful thinking. Lets look at the Activation Window after we press that button!
I downloaded my copy directly from MSDN. Do you have some sort of beta version on there or something? If I uninstall like you recommend is there any way to make sure my accounts 30 Pop accounts old emails, rules, and folders stay in place?
So I decided I had to have a working email today and tried to uninstall just as they asked on the instructions page. I install the program, open it up to activate, and now it says No License Found with my account or that I don’t have a account at all.
Amazing a totally new problem from trying to fix the old one. Also now I have totally screwed myself by deleting all of the office files. So all of my accounts, folders, rules, and other settings were deleted.
I made a back up of my mail so at least I didn’t lose that. I have no idea why you released this to the public when it wasn’t ready. You have wasted hours and hours of my time for nothing. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. Not sure if it’s relevant to you, only Apple just released v Had to go through the e-mail registration again to get it to acknowledge it was a licensed copy. Can you answer a few questions so that we can better understand why you have to do phone activation:.

Just spent 45 minutes or so on the phone to Microsoft. Apparently this is an issue that they’re seeing a lot at the moment.
I was recommended to create a new user account on my machine and install Office using that account. Office installed and activated without problems with the new account and is still activated when I log back on as my normal user account. Same errors in all locations. Now in Singapore for business and the program gave me the same error about needing to call the phone number.
But the damn activation key is still longer than the window so I can’t do that. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.

In reply to GWolz’s post on October 21, Can you answer a few questions so that we can better understand why you have to do phone activation: 1. When you trying to activate, are you disconnected from the internet?
Hi GWolz, Have they solved this for you yet? Hi GWolz Just spent 45 minutes or so on the phone to Microsoft. In reply to AbsoluteC’s post on October 22, I checked and my Mac has been fully updated so I guess I already have that and it didn’t help.
Thanks though. In reply to sumeshnair’s post on October 22, Hi Sumesh, 1 Yeah of course I was connected to the internet. But i guess you have to ask. Interesting solution, not sure I want to add an extra account though.
I would rather them fix the problem. I have given up on Office and just went back to my install. I just don’t have time to not have a working email for days on end. In reply to GWolz’s post on October 27, I understand where you’re coming from. I created the new account, logged in and installed Office and activated it and then logged out again. Once I knew Office was working I deleted the account. Total time – around ten minutes.
Far less than the amount of time I spent un-installing and reinstalling before trying this. This site in other languages x.
