How to resolve Office Activation problems

If Windows detects any hardware change it will lock itself and will ask for activation or reactivation in some case every attempt to activate a genuinely licensed microsoft office will fail. If it fails to activate over the internet it will offer to activate over the phone , but no need to try activating as this won't work as well. We have spent 1 hour on the phone with Microsoft and finally the fix is here .

From "Control Panel" Enable - "Show Hidden Files and folders" Disable "Hide Protected Operating System Files" Navigate to: Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data and delete all files within this folder Close and reopen Microsoft word or any other office product and this time it will complete the activation with success.
