Much to my surprise, when I Googled this code I found several articles that applied including one from the Microsoft Answers database that said I should:ġ.
I tried to activate Word again and got the same message but a different error code this time: 0xD00711F7. I Googled the error code and found numerous articles, but they were all about fixing Windows or Windows Update errors and shed no light on the issue on my Mac. When I attempted to activate it, I received the message, “An unknown error has occurred. When I walked into my office yesterday, your program (Word) had unilaterally decided it was unlicensed and required activation. I suppose expecting the software I pay for to work when I need it is asking too much.
I wanted to thank you for the 1.5-hour troubleshooting break you forced upon me.
