How to Get an Activation Code for Microsoft Office 2007

If you have the full version of Microsoft Office 2007 but are missing the required activation code to install the software on your computer, you will need to obtain a new activation code from Microsoft Support. Before contacting the Support Center in your area, you'll want to do your best to locate the missing code by checking product packaging, confirmation emails, Certificates of Authenticity or the Retail Perpetual Product Key that came with your computer or your Microsoft software.

Instructions

1. Open the Product Activation Wizard for Microsoft Office 2007. To access the Wizard, open any Microsoft Office program, click the "Office button" and click the program's "Options" button at the bottom of the menu. Within the options menu, click "Resources" and then "Activate" next to "Activate Microsoft Office."

2. Click "Use the automated phone system to activate" from the Windows Activation window.

3. Click to select your nearest location from the drop-down menu and click the "Next" button.

4. Call the phone number of the nearest Microsoft Product Activation Center as it appears in the Activation window. A support specialist will help you obtain an activation code for your Microsoft Office 2007 software.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not be tempted by free download instructions for Microsoft Office products. Illegal and untrustworthy websites allow users to download free versions of Microsoft products -- many of which are infected with viruses, spyware and other security threats.
