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

David

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

    Learned something from Microsoft for you guys installing Office for your customers. There are only 25 installs allowed per email address (Live, Hotmail, etc.). This means 25 activations per account. If you are installing Office for a customer and are using your Microsoft email account than you will be limited to 25 activations. If you start getting errors after so many installs you may need to create another email account just to get the Office install activated without a bunch of bull****.   This for Home and Business version installs.

    Run as administrator is NOT an option on mine. Office 2013, Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo W530.
