Office 2007 on TS - which version?

Hello Everybody,

I have read the licensing issues on this board and I think, not all of our
customers will be amused...

Nevertheless, we will continue to set up our lab environment consisting of
Fileserver and TS. We have installed Server 2008. I have tried to install
Office 2007 Enterprise on this server, but the system tells me that this
version of Office is no good for use in TS environment. Which version should
I use? (I have a bunch of opportunities in Technet Keys, but don't know
which is best).

Thank you

Ole

It may help if you describe your reasons for using TS to begin with. If the
thought process was to save on licensing, that is definitely not a good
reason to use TS. This is a commonly misunderstood fact.

As for why you are getting the "not the correct version" error, I can't
answer. What version are you loading? OEM? Upgrade? Full? Enterprise? More
info...

Sorry... I see now re-reading your original post you did say Enterprise.
Still, I don't know about the error.

Check this:

Re: Office 2007 on TS - which version?

Thanks for your help. That means, I have to acquire a VLK.

OK, there have been discussions about licensing on this board. Office is a
per-device-license. I have to sell my customers one license per computer.
Ideally, I sell them preinstalled licenses for their new computers as they
switch to Vista anyway.

Then I have licenses for all clients. Thus, I would need a VLK for 0
licenses. Does that work?

Or does MS require me to sell OPEN licenses to those customers instead? OPEN
is a valid VLK, isn't it?

Re: Office 2007 on TS - which version?

The way it was explained to me when I called them a year or so ago is that
you need one license for the TS itself in order to install Office. Then, you
need a license for each device that is using Office via the TS. So if you
have ten remote users accessing Office on the TS, you need eleven Office
licenses: one for the server installation, and one each for each device used
to access the TS.

Whether or not that is still their viewpoint, I do not know.

Re: Office 2007 on TS - which version?

Sounds pretty crazy but at least straight forward from the per-device-logic.

Next step will be that you are somehow on two computers; buy two licenses
for every software. Hm we do that already, not only two, Server, CAL,
TS-CAL, Client OS...

Thanks for your help, Gregg!
