I have an MSDN subscription and I've installed Visio 2013. I am not able to activate the product and it has reduced to a read-only state.
Any attempts to activate or "Switch Account" are met with "Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues." I've found a few posts referencing removing an office-related key from the registry but this has not helped.
At one point I believe I'd also heard that our network might be blocking activation, but don't have a handle on how that would be coming into play exactly (if at all).
Have others encountered and (hopefully) found a fix to this issue?
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visio Professional 2013
Right click on Microsoft Visio Professional 2013 and click on "Change"
Then select "Enter a Product Key" and supply your 25 digit licence key to activate.
Here is a little more detail on the Control Panel/Programs and Features method for entering product codes.
This worked with Office 2010 previously installed and then a later Visio 2013 Pro installation that didn't provide the activation dialog.
In Programs and Features
Right click Microsoft Visio Professional 2013
You'll see Uninstall (default) and Change. Select Change
You'll get a dialog with these options
Add or Remove Features
Repair
Remove
Enter a Product Key (voila!)
Select Product Key and the rest goes as expected.
Footnote: I spend 45 minutes in six conversations with four different Microsoft support teams trying to fix this. None knew how to address the issue.
I had the same problem. To activate I had to go to "Control Panel\Programs and Features\Microsoft Visio Professional 2013" and choose the "repair" option; you will be asked to insert your product key. Now my Visio is activated and I can create new diagrams, but I continue having problems using online options.
If your system is an offline computer, you will need to call the MS Support Center and give them your code which shows on your screen. Then in return enter the long string of digits they give you back.

A number of my Visio 2016 diagrams appear corrupt after a recent Windows 10 and/or Office update. It seems to particularly affect the Azure icons. Any suggestions?
Here's a snippet from one of my corrupt diagrams:
This is how the diagram should look:
I can edit the text with no issues. The word before "Data Warehouse" has been scrubbed my me in both images as it's a product name.
Enabling the checkbox "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" in the Options > Advanced menu fixed this for me:
I am currently working on vs code with version 1.8. Recently microsoft introduce new feature which called Visual studio Live Share.My problem is that I am not able to find sharing button or menu/submenu.
If you have any idea where to find or how to share code using vs code.please help me.
A few month later (from Nov. 2017 to May 2018), the Live Share feature is now ready: see "Visual Studio Live Share Public Preview", and "Visual Studio Live Share" to download the extension.
The documentation explains, for Visual Studio Code, how to share:
Start a collaboration session
Now, simply click the "Share" status bar item or hit Ctrl+Shift+P and select "Live Share: Start a collaboration session (Share)".
Note: You may be asked by your desktop firewall software to allow the Live Share agent to open a port the first time you share. Accepting this is entirely optional but enables a secured "direct mode" to improve performance when the person you are working with is on the same network as you are.
See changing the connection mode for details.
An invite link will be automatically copied to your clipboard.
When opened in a browser, this link allows others to join a new collaboration session that shares contents of these folders with them.
You will also see the "Share" status bar item transition to represent the session state. See session state information below for what this looks like.
Note that if you need to get the invite link again after you've started sharing, you access it again by clicking on the session state status bar icon and select "Invite Others (Copy Link)".
I'm trying to install an App from the Office Store in Office 365 Home Premium, specifically the online version accessed via OneDrive. Example of such an App would be Modern Trend for Excel. The documentation says click Insert > My Apps, but I don't find this menu option in the online Excel.
Can Apps be installed in the online version of Office? If so, how?
I doubt your question is suitable for SO as it seems you're asking about how to install an already made application as opposed to developing said applications.
In the event I'm incorrect...
Apparently not; that doesn't surprise me though. Also, notice the link you provided doesn't specify that it pertains to any of the online versions of mentioned programs.
I opened my account, created a blank worksheet, and tried to add an app. First thing to notice is that the ribbon is limited online. It doesn't even have the "Apps" section as shown in the link. So I proceeded to "open in Excel", which will open the file on your local machine. Yahtzee, I'm able to add the app.
Perhaps you should try adding the app at "home" and after opening the file online and see if the app is functional. Problem would be solved.
It looks like Microsoft currently has this feature on their development roadmap:

I have a really interesting situation here. I'm running Windows 8 Pro x64 with Office 2013 (Office 365, more specifically) running. Somewhere while I was setting up Outlook, I made a mistake causing it to create in invalid .ost file. I found the file in Explorer and it happens to be an empty file.
All the solutions to this involve using the Mail icon in the Control Panel. That'd be great, but it doesn't exist! I've searched and searched for solutions to this issue, and I can't find a single one that applies to Windows 8. Either the solution is so outdated that it's not even usable in Windows 8, or the solution somehow doesn't work with my setup.
I've come to an absolute end of ideas for this, and I've decided to come to see if anyone here can wrestle down my problem. Thanks for your help!
Edit: I've thought of a few possible solutions, and the only one that seems remotely feasible seems to be to completely restart the Outlook setup process. However, I can't figure out how to do this, and I can't reinstall just Outlook because it's part of Office 365. Any help on this would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!
Did you try deleting (or renaming/moving, to be more cautious) the empty .ost file? Once it's not there, that may cause Outlook to regenerate it properly.
Is there anything listed in your "Add/remove programs" for Outlook 2013 or Office 365? I've been running Outlook 2013 (in its beta glory) for awhile, and I occasionally have issues which are fixed by doing a quick repair.
To do a quick repair:
Press Windows key + Q. Search for "remove programs" and change the search scope filter to "Settings".
Select "Change or remove a program".
I have "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 - en-us" as one of my programs. Click that (or something similar for Office 2013) and then click "Change".
Select "Quick Repair" and click "Repair".
Finally, if none of that works, here's how to find the Mail icon in the Control Panel:
Bring the mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen (where the Start button used to be) and right-click. Select "Control Panel".
In Control Panel in the upper right-hand corner, there is a "View by" dropdown menu. It may be set to "Category". Change it to "Large icons".
I now see a Mail icon. If it's not showing up for you, that probably means that Outlook wasn't configured properly and you do need to reinstall.
Hope this helps.
I created a Word add-in that contains ribbon tab and some code to work with SharePoint sites. All working code including ribbon definition I placed in separate library that is shared between Word, Excel and PowerPoint add-ins.
For testing my solution I use trial versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 and Office Home and Business 2010. My Word add-in installs and works fine, but every time I open Word, I see the following notification: "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support." I need to press OK button three times for my add-in to load.
Is it possible to hide that notifications without having to install "Visual Basic for Applications" feature for MS Office?
There is no such problem in Excel or PowerPoint.
I suggest you check your security level for macros. The setting is different for each office application. On the lowest setting, no prompts will be shown.
