Forums - Microsoft - So pissed at Microsoft.

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.

Tru dat lol.

But then again maybe the mistake of one stupid employee shouldn't dictate your life.



lol bro just use open office until you get this sorted out.



 

Iwill admit MS customer service can be annoying. I had quite the trouble just canceling my gold live. I do not think it was normal, but still it pissed me the fuck off. The online cancelation would not work period. 



It's been said that Microsoft was having security issues with it's services and servers, so they are temporarily down.

That could explain why your software couldn't be verified.

That in no way should impact your console choice as it doesn't really have anything to do with it.

Thepiratebay is your friend. If MS is too incompetant to make a copy you paid for work then get a free copy and enjoy it until they sort this issue out.

find any excuse



Well, Halo 4 matchmaking was fucked up yesterday and xbox.com was apparently having some issues. That could and should be connected to your issues.


Shit happens.



You can still use Office even if it is not "verified", can't you? I had to for a while. It just shows an ugly red bar up top that says "UNVERIFIED" or something, but all the functions should still work.

If not, others have given you alternative solutions. Good luck finishing what you need to get done today.
