Office 2003 activation on a Windows XP over the phone doesn't show up

I´m trying to activate a Microsoft Office 2003 on a Windows XP SP3 over the phone but when a click on "I want to activate the software by telephone" nothing happens. I can't activate it over the internet because the PC isn't connected to it. How can I solve this problem?

Solution 1:

The online activation should work. If possible, try to connect it to the internet using a router with natting.

But: Configure Windows XP firewall before connecting it to the internet

To prevent any other accesses to the internet you should disable any outgoing connections to the internet using the Windows XP firewall. Then configure a rule to allow only the access to the microsoft server.
