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

Mark

    Thanks Mark.

    I don't know why this simple step wasn't listed first off by others.  Worked like a champ.  Thanks much! :)
