Hi guys, hopefully a nice easy one. Unfortunately the business hasn't seen the light on VLK licensing so we are currently installing OEM copies of office on our deployed machines manually. One setback is that the deployment network doesn't have unristricted internet access. This leaves me with the problem of having to move it to an internet enabled port, activate, then move on.
I've read coutless forum posts, articles and blogs on what sites / IP addresses need to be opened on a firewall to allow Windows / Office activation but no matter what sites I try and add it never seems to work. So I guess my question is two fold:

  1. [ ]What sites (or IP's) and ports should I allow through our firewall to allow standard online activation of Office products?
    [ ]Are the Office activation sites the same as Windows activation?
Thanks in advance!
