Re: Office 2007 Enterprise Install

I have MAPS but that includes Office 2007 Business edition, not Enterprise. I got my Enterprise through Technet Plus, which is not licensed for production use. I can, however, use it in a test environment and use it to deploy Office to 1000 clients, as long as someone signs and pays for the Volume Licensing contract upon deployment.

Having said that, there also exists a version of Enterprise for home use, which is the version that pops up here now and then. It's not available through retail channels, but customers with a volume licensing contract can give it to their employees for home use.

<rant>
Though I understand that nobody here wants to help people with pirated copies of any piece of software, it's getting annoying that the first response to a question regarding Enterprise here is another question, "do you have a legit copy?". That's irrelevant, you can't tell. My copy of Enterprise is legit as long as I don't use it to write letters or read my e-mail. And having a legit source (Microsoft) does not guarantee the install media is error-free. The install problems I have had with Enterprise turn out to be the result of corruption in one of the mirrors of the Technet/MSDN download site. And, this NG is called microsoft.public.office.setup, not ms.p.office.licensing or ms.p.office.piracy.

Hi Peter,

The 'retail', or probably more accurately the 'non volume license' package of MS Office 2007 Enterprise edition does exist :)
There's a 60 day trial of it available for download
http://microsoft.com/products/info/product.aspx?view=22&pcid=25cc2435-87b5-4b2d-b6a3-2d07fca748d5&type=ovr

or through
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/bb188203.aspx
and it's the 'retail' version that was originally included as 'Enterprise edition' for the MS Partners Action Pack (10 installs) and
certain MSDN subscription types.

It's the same product as the Volume license one except that the files needed to use the Office 2007 Customization Tools (OCT) [
http://microsoft.com/office/ork ] for deployment have not been included and unless they've updated the download pages recently it
doesn't mention that the download to try out for Admins doesn't have the Admin tools.

For companies who have volume license programs and if I recall, school licenses, those license holders can also make the Enterprise
edition under the Home Use/Education programs.

I think Bob is wrong on this one. It is not available in a Retail version. If it is then it will be cost restrictive to the ordinary
person because Enterprise is named as such for the Volume License that it carries with it..
It can be purchased from an employer who has bought one and sells 1 license to one of his employees. He recoups some of the cost
that he put out for the purchase.
My 0ffice 2003 Enterprise with 25 CALS cost me $3900 at the time of my purchase a few years ago. I believe that the Enterprise
version but do not hold me to it comes in 10,25 and an unlimited license versions and the price reflects the amount of CALS..
