MS Office 2007 deactivated itself!

[ncovert]

Ok, so I was happily running Microsoft Office 07 on my main pc, when all of a sudden I couldn't edit any files, even though I had activated Office the day I installed it. Any suggestions?

sounds like a bad install, or the M$ activation servers are down.

Office 2007 VLK doesn't need any sort of activation... 2010 vlk does.

If it's a pirated key, they probably blocked it.

If it's a genuine key, did you change any hardware recently? Sometimes hardware changes can break activation. Heck, I've had bios updates break activation on occasion.

Check your date and time settings as well. I've had that cause issues with activation and windows updates.

+1 for this, had this happen to me awhile back on XP machine, I was like WTF, MATE!? Turn out the lithium battery had finally died. Replaced and reset time problem went away.
