Hello, I am trying to download office, but I keep getting errors.

It accepts my product key but when I click on the button for x64 bit iso it craps out with a service error. This happens on both chrome and edge on a fresh install windows 11 pro.

This is a fresh windows 11 install.

Need a fix ASAP for work, this issue is costing me money and time.

Website steps:

Setup Office - Confirm Redemption

Entered Code - accepted

then I click download x64

Service Unavailable

"Service Unavailable

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties.

Please try again later."

FYI at this time, I do not have an antivirus or other firewall setup that could block access, and I also do not have

Service Status -> GREEN no issues as of 1/2/2025

But yet issue persists.

Also tried an IP address config flush but not resolved.

    Judging by the number of threads on this topic and the quality of replies, here's my two cents after struggling for a few hours:

    Office 2024 just went RTM? : r/Office365

    You're welcome.
