Can you install Office Ultimate on a 64bit R2 Windows 2003 server in TS mode?
 
Re: 64bit server with Office Ultimate on it??

No. Only the Enterprise version is supported in TS mode. For that version,
you need to be a software assurance (SA) customer.

Even for a company of 5? How do I go about getting software through that
manor? Thanks!

Yes, even for a company of 5. You can buy a VL version of Office, with
software assurance, for as few as 5 units. I'm NOT a licensing person, but
if you contact any of the major online retailers that focus on business
customers (CDW comes to mind), they can help you choose the right product.

I don't much LIKE the rules on Office applications on Terminal Services, but
then, MS didn't ask my opinion. :(

Re: 64bit server with Office Ultimate on it??

So what you are saying is that I have to have an Enterprise version of Office
Ultimate AND they need to be a software assurance customer? What would that
roughly cost for a company of 5? I know you probably think some of these
question are silly but I really appreciate your input and time.

Thanks Charlie!

Re: 64bit server with Office Ultimate on it??

I have no idea what the cost is. But if you have a Professional Plus
version, with SA, you can get Enterprise for "free". (It's one of the
benefits of SA.) You can also get this by converting an OEM Pro version, I
think, by adding SA to it.

Honestly, I'm not a licensing guy. And personally, I happen to prefer Office
2k3 for my uses.

Re: 64bit server with Office Ultimate on it??

Now what if we purchased an Open License for 5 users for the terminal server
can we use those same 5 licenses on their dekstops in the office? In theory
they wont be on the TS server and their desktops at the same time so they
should be able to set it up that way. Correct?

Re: 64bit server with Office Ultimate on it??

probably not. Licenses are per user, for office. You _may_ have the right to
run a second copy on a home machine. But not on the same network I'm sure.
