A Confirmation Code for Microsoft Office 2007 is a unique 48-digit code provided by Microsoft to complete the software activation process when using the "Telephone Activation" method.
It is important to distinguish this from your Product Key (the 25-character code used during installation). You only need a Confirmation Code if the standard internet activation fails or is unavailable. How to Generate a Confirmation Code
If you are prompted by the Office Activation Wizard, follow these steps to receive a code:
Select Telephone Activation: In the Activation Wizard, choose the option "I want to activate the software by telephone" and click Next.
Identify Your Installation ID: The wizard will display a long numerical Installation ID grouped into several boxes. You must provide this ID to Microsoft's automated system.
Contact Microsoft: Call the activation center phone number provided in the wizard for your specific region.
Enter the Confirmation Code: Once the automated system verifies your Installation ID, it will read back a Confirmation Code (Groups A through G). Enter these digits into the empty boxes at the bottom of the wizard and click Next to finish. Important Considerations for Office 2007
End of Life: Microsoft Office 2007 reached its end of support on October 10, 2017. While you can still install and activate it, you will no longer receive security updates.
Activation Errors: Because the product is legacy, the telephone activation option may sometimes display a message stating "Telephone activation is no longer supported for your product." In many cases, the phone numbers still work, but you may need to find the specific Microsoft Licensing Activation Center number for your country manually.
Valid Product Key Required: You cannot generate a Confirmation Code without a valid 25-character Product Key found on your original CD case, packaging, or confirmation email.

If you have an existing installation of Office 2007 that was activated before the servers shut down, it should continue to work. The activation status is stored on your computer; it does not need to "check in" with Microsoft every time you open the program. Do not uninstall or reformat the computer if you wish to keep using this activated version, as you will likely be unable to reactivate it afterward.
If you find a Product Key generator online (illegal) or a key that has been used thousands of times, the Activation Wizard will reject the IID. Microsoft’s servers track hardware hashes. If a Product Key is flagged as "overused," the server will refuse to generate a Confirmation Code.
