Office 2007 Enterprise & Terminal Services

[David G]

Hi,

Have a Windows 2003 Server which had the Office 2007 Beta RC 2 installed
which was fine with Terminal Services.

Have uninstalled and installed Office 2007 Enterprise but now receive this
error message when I run both on the server and via Remote desktop I receive
the message below (not in full).

This copy of Microsoft Office Word cannot be used on Terminal Server.

We have our license our Microsoft software using the Microsoft Action pack
scheme and from what I read about the Enterprise Edition, this does support
Terminal Services.

The resolutions I found only point to the Beta version of Office 2007.

Any help please.

Do you have a volume license key?
Office 2007 works on a terminal server only with a volume license key.

Hi David,

Generally, the MS Office Partner Action pack uses retail product keys. For MS Office 2007 to be supported on Terminal Services you
need both the enterprise/volume licensed editions and a matching Volume License product key.

If you locate the Office 2007 Setup.exe program and cannot use the
Setup.exe /Admin switch you do not have a volume license product key.

Hi,

Thanks for your responses.

I have now logged a support incident with Microsoft. Fortunately the Action
Pack subscription includes Microsoft Support and I await the call for a
resolution to this problem.

Will post later with results.

Thanks

David G.

Hi,

Looks like the Key Supplied with the Action Pack Subscription is for the
retail product and not the enterprise version. I actually managed to get
another key from Microsoft but this was invalid and I am now awaiting
Technical Support investigation.
