Hello,
Please try the steps in this article: Office error code 0x8004FC12 "We’re sorry, something went wrong" error when activating Office
Well, after 10 days of seeking a solution and being at the point of giving up I tried these tips and the 3rd option to Add Local Group seems to have worked as I am no longer getting the activation pop up appearing. Thankyou at last!
Thanks a lot!!! I was very helpful...Im not sure which one corrected my problem but I tried everything...but Im sure it is the last two options.
The 3rd option worked for me! Thank you so much! I have been trying to fix this for literally 3 days!
Hi,
I have tried your suggestions but unfortunately it hasn't worked. Any other ideas?
