Maybe wait a couple days to see if windows sorts out the problem.

Sunday, June 5, 2005 at 5:19 am Posted by Matthew D. Healy (1255 messages posted) Microsoft has stated publicly a number of times that, should they ever decide to turn off the Product Activation phone lines for any product, they would provide users with a means to disable Product Activation before they stopped answering those phone numbers. Of course, if this happens after the end of their Product Life Cycle schedule, they would stop issuing security patches, as they have done some time ago for NT4 -- so NT4 servers can still run today, but you'd better put them behind a good firewall because NT4 has some bugs that will never get patched. But the issue of patch support is a distinct issue from Product Activation. I think much that has been said about WPA pertains not to WPA per se, but to other things Redmond does that are perceived as being customer control tactics. Such as not fixing NT4 security holes, which forced a number of companies (including mine) to upgrade some old servers that were otherwise working just fine.

The OFFICE PRO 2007 BETA ACtivation process (which is FAILING to connect to the internet thanks to their defective products!) will not give me a pnumber to call so far!

It STILL says that I am not connected to the internet. The TRUTH of the matter is that Mecrosoft's servers are NOT responding. Even after about 8 hours of continuous retries. THIS program is TOAST!
