Error code: 0x80180109 in Microsoft Office 2007

[desilva]

Hi everyone,
When I am trying to validate the Microsoft Office 2007, I am getting an error code : 0x80180109. I can't understand how to fix this error. When my brother tried to install the same version on another system, he was getting an error of "Your beta software has expired". Is there any issues with the MS Office 2007.?? Please tell me how to fix these errors.!!

When you try to validate the 2007 Microsoft Office system, Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Office XP by using Office Genuine Advantage, you can get the error mentioned :
Error code: 0x80180109
This problem can occur if the following conditions is met :

1. If you are having the version of Microsoft Office installed on your computer is earlier than Office XP.
2. If there is no Office programs that require validation are installed on the computer.
3. Office is hosted on another computer running Terminal Services Microsoft.

Some times the error 0x80180109 pops up. The main reason described by the 'super soaker' is true. To resolve this problem, install a 2007 Office suite, Office 2003 or Office XP. Then try to validate Office. If Office is run from another computer that is running Terminal Services Microsoft, check the 2007 Office suite, Office 2003 or Office XP on the computer running Terminal Services Microsoft.

You are also facing another issue, while you are trying to start a Microsoft Office 2007, the following message appears :
Your beta software has expired. Use the Add / Remove Programs in Control Panel to remove the beta software from your computer. Normally this happens when the beta software that you were using has expired. So there are no solutions then to renew it or use another application.

This behavior is due to the fact that the Beta 2 version of Office 2007 program has expired. The Beta 2 version of 2007 Office programs expire on the following dates :

1. Beta 2 of Microsoft Office 2007: 1st February 2007
2. Beta 2 Technical Refresh of Microsoft Office 2007: March 31, 2007
