Thank you, nameless Microsoft employee working late into the night (or until 5 or 6 pm.... guess they are on the west coast).

Well I wish I could find where the darn Product Key in MSDN is. I must be blind.

Oh nevermind.. I guess if I typed it correctly I wouldnt think that it was for another product.

I've talked with several other MVPs and Microsoft support people.

People are aware of the issue.

The unofficial answer I have as of right now is that there are unexpected problems and that they are being resovled as quickly as possible and the activation problems should be fixed by friday.

I'm pretty sure it is a problem with Microsoft's Activation servers... When I first downloaded Office I activated Visio and the Office Suite but when I tried to activate OneNote a few hours later I hit this same wall.

So as I said, it doesn't seem to be a local software issue, it is remote.

PS - Great MVP response there

It's Beta. Don't expect an official response. :|
