I have a technet key and I used it before on the same machine but now it doesn't want to activate anymore.
Every time I open outlook I get prompted to activate it and enter a product key, it shows a green checkmark, but does not activate. Also the possibility to activate via phone is not available.
Found multiple threads with the same question but none of it seem to solve my problem. Followed this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1a7b6b86-cdcc-4417-aada-da0aa55c6520/outlook-2013-not-activated
and got this as output:
