Having some problems activating your illegal copy of Windows? It may not be your fault, it is reported that the Activation servers are down, and calling the activation number wont help either.

Microsoft is expecting the servers to return to normal in 4 to 5 hours (Translation: Could be days).

It is reported that the servers may be suffering from a recent SQL worm going around.

    What a pain.

    I’ve recently rebuilt my XP installation. Thankfully I installed and activated XP quite early, but Office 2003 is subject to this problem as well and I haven’t been able to activate.

    Activation is fine – until it breaks. I can’t call the number?! Wonderful, I can only run Office products 40-odd more times before they get crippled.

    Not good news :(. Let’s hope they fix it soon and maybe take better precautions against SQL worms…

    I didn’t like activation when it was introduced and i don’t like it now. i think they should rethink the whole activation thing.

    When the company runs into the slightest problem with the activation servers, we are expected to sit there with our arms crossed.

    I do hope that some intelligent hacker out there is watching this and thinking about what they can do to fix the situation ;)
