Re: Office 2007 on TS - which version?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

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!

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.

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?

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

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.
