Groove activation and Office Ultimate

[Terry Farrell]

Previously, there has only been on version of Office available on MSDN
(Professional). That's looks like the case for O2007 too.

I've only had this MSDN sub for a year so forgive me if this is a stupid
question;

Will the other Office suites be available to MSDN sub's? Espicially since
there's a prod key fiasco going on?

Thanks.
-Michael

Only Office Professional is so far available from MSDN. The other Office
suites are probably available to Volume License Customers via their own
web site, however.

||| Office 2007 Product Keys from Subscriber Downloads
|||
||| Many Office 2007 applications were recently posted to Subscriber
||| Downloads, however a unique product key was not posted for each
||| product. Although these product keys are worth several activations,
||| once a product key is used to activate a particular Office
||| application, it can only be used to activate additional
||| installations of the same application. For example, a single key
||| was posted for Office Project 2007 and Office Visio 2007, however
||| once the product key is used to activate an Office Project 2007
||| installation, it can only be used to activate other Office Project
||| 2007 installations.
|||
||| Additional product keys are expected to made available from the
||| Subscriber Downloads' Product Keys page on Tuesday November 21st,
||| 2006. When the additional product keys are posted:
|||
||| * The existing Office 2007 Desktop Programs key will be
||| renamed to be the key for Office SharePoint Designer 2007. If you
||| have already used this key to activate a different desktop program,
||| please make a note to swap the two keys. For example, if you
||| activated an Office Groove 2007 installation with the original
||| Desktop Applications key, please use the new Office Groove 2007 key
||| to activate any Office SharePoint 2007 installations.
|||
||| * The Project Professional 2007 / Visio Professional 2007
||| key will be renamed to be the key for Project Professional 2007.
||| Again, if you already used this key to activate Visio Professional
||| 2007, you will have to use the new Visio Professional 2007 key to
||| activate any Project Professional 2007 installations.
|||
||| If you require an additional product key before November 21st,
||| please contact customer service.
|||
||| The following groups of products are affected by this issue:
|||
||| Product Key: Office 2007 Desktop Programs
|||
||| Office Groove 2007
|||
||| Office InfoPath 2007
|||
||| Office InterConnect 2007
|||
||| Office OneNote 2007
|||
||| Office Access 2007
|||
||| Office Outlook 2007
|||
||| Office Publisher 2007
|||
||| Office SharePoint Designer 2007
|||
||| Product Key: Project Professional 2007 / Visio Professional 2007
|||
||| Office Project Professional 2007
|||
||| Office Visio Professional 2007
||| </quote>
|||
||| So, without calling customer service (because I only like talking
||| to CS people in the US), how can this be solved?
|||
||| Also, I had heard somewhere that there was going to be an Office
||| Ultimate version coming out (to MSDN too). I could wait for Groove
||| until then if it
||| was forthcoming soon.
|||
||| Anyone help?
|||
||| Thanks

Argh! I hope that's not the case this time. Espicially w/ all the problems
going on w/ activiation.

Also, I did find Office Professional Plus 2003. Quite a bit more apps than
the regular professional. Found on MSDN.

Thanks.
