I installed Office 2013 Professional Plus on my work laptop without any issues. Yesterday, I had to do a chkdsk C: /F to resolve some disk errors that were detected by Windows 8 Pro. Now, whenever I open an Office 2013 application, I am being asked to activate Office 2013. I have chatted with customer service - completely no help because all the rep did was give me the phone number to Product Activation which is an automated telephone system with no options helpful to people having this problem and no chance to speak to a live human being.
I have searched the Internet and followed instructions to attempt to activate Office 2013 via telephone, but the option to activate by telephone isnot present in any of the activation wizards. What a frickin nightmare!
It is the beginning of the Memorial Day holiday, after 6:30 p.m. so I guess I am just SOL until Tuesday - thanks Microsoft for putting me through this horrible experience with your products and your customer service!
