Office licensing on terminal server
How does licensing for Office 2003 work on a terminal server? Is there a
special version of Office that must be installed on the server, and how is it licensed? I have the terminal server CALs already - I just need to know how to install/license Office so that it can be used remotely if necessary. All the workstations have Office installed, although there is a mixture of everything from Office 97 to Office 2003 and Basic to Pro. All the users have workstations in the office but will need to connect remotely on occasion. Do their workstation licenses suffice, and if so, how do I get it installed on the server when there are multiple versions on the workstations? It seems to me that the office OEM activation process requires the installation to be on the same workstation as the initial activation for the specific license key. |

This is hardly a suitable question for *.docmanagement; however (and since, off the top of my head, I wouldn't know which group was more on-topic :-)), I'd check the following site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/as...403011033.aspx which in turn links to http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.mspx HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Office licensing on terminal server
Thanks. Yes, it was hard to categorize this question, so I just picked the
most obvioius Office app and posted. The MS information is pretty generic - it shows information on the terminal server CAL's required to access the server, but all it says about Office licensing is that you need one for each workstation that will access the server. It's just not clear whether I just buy 10 copies & install one, or if there is a volume licensing arrangement on this. "Robert M.
