Product Activation Problem

Question

I installed Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 about two weeks ago. At that time I tried to activate the product, but after filling out personal details was sent to a page with the following message:

We were unable to send your e-mail verification mail.

An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again. If you continue to have access problems or want to report other issues, please Contact Us.

Thinking it was a temporary problem I decided to try again later. But the problem's persisting. And the "Contact Us" link on the page is broken as well.

Could someone please advise how to work around this problem?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Try going to the Microsoft Profile Center (http://profile.microsoft.com) and updating your email address there.  If that's successful, then go back to your Express product and try to activate the product.

Answer 2

I am trying to register VS express for windows phone 7 from 1 week, every time I get same error on the web page. I have tried all types of browsers. (IE, firefox, Chrome) I see below error.

Unknown Error

An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again.

I have tried all steps on this forum and gives me same error. I have a valid Live Account and I use it regularly, what is the solution to fix this?
