Vista - Activation suggestion and question

I suugest that activation should be automatically unnecessary for programs
more than 3 years old. My MS Office was bought about 5 years ago. I must have
re-activated it 100 times by now. I'm bored of doing it.

My question is regarding activation over the phone. I'm trying to activate
Microsoft Office after installing it in Vista. The MS phone system says
"Press 1 to activate" but when I press 1 MS hears nothing. In fact once I am
connected to the sutomated system it seems incapable today of 'hearing' any
numbers pressed. Has anyone else had this problem? Colin
