Why is Microsoft office product activation so hard?

If you get an error note when trying to stimulate Microsoft Office, Calm down in for a difficult time. Microsoft doesn’t make the activation easy to understand, let alone fix activation problems. Office activation is where newly installed Office software is authorized by Microsoft Servers. Without initiation, the software only has very restricted features.

For Office Com Setup 36 users, product activation checks that you have a current office 365 subscription. There is regular check by the software but it’s usually the one after installation that has trouble. Perpetual license Office takes the Product Key entered at installation and verifies with Microsoft that the key is valid and nor misused. That’s all fine when product activation works properly. It should only take a few instants with an internet joining.

 

When product activation goes wrong

When product activation doesn’t work, Microsoft lets its customer down badly. The error posts, such as they are, express you very slightly. All you have is an error code. Looking up the error code online is not a lot of help. There are plenty of wired medium deliberations and recommended fixes. You’ll look in ineffective for anything certified from Microsoft.

Why? Microsoft is reluctant to admit there’s anything wrong with their products and especially unwilling to talk about product activation. There is little advantage to Microsoft in making it easier for people to understand product activation problems.
