A response (confirmation ID) is returned to your computer to activate your product. If you choose to activate your product over the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard warns you that there is no connection.

  • Activate by using the telephone You can telephone an Activation Center and activate your product with the help of a customer service representative.

Phone numbers of Activation Centers vary by product license and country/region. Use the number provided on your Activation Wizard screen to call Microsoft Activation Center.

    Important Activation telephone numbers are not in this article because there are a lot of numbers, and the correct number for you depends on several factors.
