Wow...thanks for checking that out Robert, that's fantastic insight.
Since we no longer have a local MS license server for office and rely on
Microsoft's own VLK activation servers, is this workaround possible? 

What values would you use for the two keys mentioned?
"KeyManagementServiceName REG_SZ <Licence server>"
"KeyManagementServicePort REG_SZ <Port of licence server>"

Thanks for your help on this bug
