When trying to type my product key in, i try to type the letter 'S', it wont show up ?
its not the keyboard because its working now? i tried also using the 'on-screen keyboard' and that did not work either. Also tried using the email login, however it kept saying ' Sorry, we currently are having some temp server issues', which cant be right because this computer is connected to internet right now.

Has anyone else had this issue ?
Or anyone know how to fix it ?

MS Key Contents:

Here is a list of the most common mistaken characters:
The letter B and the number eight (8)
The letter Q and number zero (0)
The letter G and the number six (6)
The letters VV and the letter W

Additionally, a Microsoft product key does not contain any of the following characters:
Numbers (0, 1 and 5)
Letters (A, E, I, L, N, O, S, U, and Z)

Where did you get this info?
And my MSkey has N and 0 in it.

Copied it off somewhere in the MS forums, I'm pretty sure.

I have three keys in easy access. Seems right to me.

Looking through my MSDN keys, there are certainly some with "N", for both Windows and Office2013.

INteresting.

But back to the OP's issue....
Are you sure that is an "S"? Where did the license key come from?
