MS Office 2013 guru's

Does anyone have the fix to the following:  Activation for Office 2013 Excel, Word etc.

 How do you want to activate your software?

  • I want to activate the software over the internet. (recommended)

Here is the error: Microsoft Excel

We're sorry, something went wrong and we can't do this for you right now. Please try again later. (0x80070005)

thanks

Hi David,

In case you haven't already found the solution right click on Excel 2013 (or any other Office 2013 application) and select 'Run as Administrator' then follow the steps to activate online

Regards

Mark

    Very late but for anyone else having this problem on Windows 7.

    1. Get the Visio icon available (either in the start menu or search for "visio").
    2. Right click on the icon and select "Properties".
    3. Go to the "Compatibility" tab
    4. There should be a "Privilege Level" section which an option to "Run this program as an administrator". Enable that.
    5. Run Visio
    6. Do steps 1..4 again except disable the option.

    This worked for me to get my Visio activated.
