Office 365 Activation Problem (0x80070005)

I just purchased a one month subscription for Office 365 Home Premium for 5 PCs and installed on my PC (Alienware M17XR4 Windows 7). Now whenever I try to activate my Office it fails and the error shown is - "We're sorry, something went wrong and we can't do this for you right now. Please try again later. ( 0x80070005 )".

I still have about 25 days' subscription left.

Please tell how I can activate this.

    This didn't work -- every application sends me to the same sign-in where even my Product Key goes in but then I am told the email address is not my Microsoft email -- I took a screen shot of it in the profile to show that it is, but I don't know how to contact a real person. Meanwhile no Word...and I'm a teacher. Help
