Using Word & Excel 2007 in TS

[Dave Stanway]

Hello,

We need to run Word & Excel within Terminal Services sessions. I understand
I need a volume licensing for this, but does anyone know if we have to
purchase the entire Office suite? We only need the two applications.

Any help?

If you can get volume licensing for them, I would think that you can run
them individually. I know they can be installed individually.

Hi,

It is less expensive to purchase Office 2007 Standard
than it is to buy Word and Excel individually. Standard
includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook.

For example, under Open Business Standard is $325.74
(plus media kit) at this reseller:

Whereas each individual app is $185.36 (plus media kits):

http://www.provantage.com/~1350022840.htm
http://www.provantage.com/~1350022936.htm

If you have many devices this price difference really
adds up (Office is licensed per physical device).

Thanks TP. And once I install using the MS volume license the TS sessions
will be able to run the app with error?

Hi,

You are welcome. As long as you use one of the volume
licensing versions Office 2007 applications will run without
the error message at startup. I have successfully used
Standard, Professional, and Enterprise volume versions on
a TS.
