Purchased a Office student subscription today but for some reason the verification process for my student status keeps failing. Contacted support and this is what i get.

 

 

I need that ASAP to finish my personal statement and those swines are fucking around.

 

That's it, i'm going PS4 exclusively next gen.


lol, Good lucking writing your "personal statement" on the PS4 tonight.

Alternatively you could have prepared ahead instead of the last minute.

Anyway I suggest you download Open Office to get you by until the website is back up. At the very least you'll be able to write your statement and print it. If the webiste comes back up and you can access MS Office you'll be able to save your Open Office file as a .doc and continue working on it in MS Word.

Good luck.

My PS deadline is March 15th... But I made it a priority to get it done this weekend.

I was flipping out because that swine of a CSrep told me to wait 24hrs then contact support again for help when they could have helped me right then. What if after 24hrs the problem was still there, were they gonna fix my problem then? Why not fix it now? Then closing the chat session because he deemed the issue to be "solved." That's what ticked me off.

I'm using OpenOffice for now. I was very tempted to just go and DL a torrent but my pirate days are over.

I'm from Seattle. I support MS as much as I can but as a paying customer, they don't necessarily make it easy to love them.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he say that even though there was a manual way of verifying office for you that they he wasn't able to due to the website having issues (which is what was causing all of your problems anyways). From what I read it looks like there was not much he could do at all.

In all honesty the reason he probably went through that as fast as possible is because he was overloaded due to other people having problems from the wonky website shenanigans.

EDIT: Also that guy's grammar suuuuuuucked!
