Question

Can no longer activate office through the Microsoft.gointeract.io webpage

Answer 1

Might as well just sail the high seas. Microsoft shut it down and went to an absolutely useless worthless piece of crap voice only activation system. You have to read out every digit, and it has to read them all back. They've turned activation from a 60 second process to over ten minutes, because their garbage voice recognition software sucks.

For a while, it would still text you a link to enter on a webpage that looked like interact.io and that was annoying but worked. Now it is absolute horseshit.

If you cough or answer a colleagues question at the wrong time, it will spaz out. I read out every digit, and as it was telling me it was going to begin reading the digits back to me I coughed. It said it didn't understand that, and I said nothing because what the hell would I say? It then referred me to help.microsoft.com and hung up. I'd been on that call for over 8 minutes.

Waste of god damn time. This is like being back in the 90's all over again. It won't even let you enter the numbers with the key pad. What moron made that decision? I wish the absolute worst on whatever team made these changes.

This issue is happening for a lot of people. The Microsoft phone activation system looks to be down or maybe moved.
