My idea was, to mention the 'Self Service for Mobile' page within the new article.

I didn't inspect the posted link until writing last Fridays blog post Office Telephone activation is no longer supported error. Obscurity, conspiracy, oh my God, what have they done? Some users commented within my German blog, that this feature works like a charm. The user has to enter the installation id and receives the activation id – plain and simple. The link http: // bit.ly/2cQPMCb, shortened by bit.ly, points to a website https: // /mobileweb/ … that provides an ability to activate Microsoft Office (see screenshot below).Īfter selecting a 6 or 7 Digits entry, an activation window with numerical buttons to enter the installation id will be shown (see screenshots shown below). Then a reader pointed me within a comment to a Self Service for Mobile website. I've posted an article Office 2010: Telefonaktivierung eingestellt? – Merkwürdigkeit II about the Office 2010 telephone activation issue within my German blog, back in January 2017. A blog reader posted a tip: Use Mobile devices activation… But also users of Microsoft Office 2010 or Microsoft Office 2013 are affected. Microsoft has confirmed this issue for Office 2016 users having a non subscriber installation. The activation dialog box shows the message ' Telephone activation is no longer supported for your product'.

If a user re-installs Office, the phone activation fails. Within my blog post Office Telephone activation is no longer supported error I've addressed the basis issue. Activation by phone is required, if the maximum Internet activation threshold is reached. There are several possibilities to activate an installed product, via Internet or via Telephone for instance. Microsoft describes how to activate Microsoft Office 2013, 2016 and Office 365 within this document.
