ot office issue

I downloaded my copy of Office 2007 last night from microsoft's site. Everything installed okay up to the end where you have to register for online services (ActiveX + IE7 blockage). After I installed it I ran Outlook and tried to activated it, only to get errors that there is no internet connection. My question is are they allowing us to activate Office 2007 or did I miss something in the setup which messed my activation up?
TIA Nathan

Activation is currently giving problems, just keep on trying. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Nathan J." wrote in message

The activation servers are way overloaded. Keep trying.

Just been informed that it should be fixed within 24-48 hours. Having said that - anyone could say that... fairly generic response for problems at the moment from Microsoft...
