MICROSOFT OFFICE 2013 HOME AND BUSINESS

Hello
i just bought new microsoft office 2013 home and business licenced software .and we are using THIN CLIENT device in our premises and working remote desktop ,but after installation of msoffice the message showing
"This copy of Microsoft Office 2013 cannot be used on a computer running Terminal Services" error message when you try to open the Click-to-Run version of an Office 2013 program or suite on a terminal server."
it means i am facing issue with office 2013 home business that can not be used on terminal services.
so pls help me to resolve this error

Retail editions of Office can't be used on RDS/TS - only Volume Licensing editions can be used.
Recently, Office365ProPlus was updated to provide "Shared Computer Activation", but this doesn't apply to Retail editions such as H&B.

5. Can I install a retail or OEM version of Microsoft Office on a network server?
Microsoft Office retail (full packaged product) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products released in 2007 or later
do not permit network use.

Office 2013 Home and Business

I have installed multiple copies of Microsoft office 2013 home and business over the last 3 months with no issues but now when I go to office.com/setup to install another copy on a different computer it comes up and ask for the product key which I enter.
then it takes me to the Microsoft account login screen, and after I log in I get buttons to install but the buttons represent previous copies I have already installed. if I download one of these copies it install but wont activate the normal way.
Is there a limit on the amount of copies that can setup under 1 account? or any help would be appreciated

Hi Andrew,
As far as I know, Office Home & Business 2013 is an One-time purchase version of Office for a single PC. (More reference:
http://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products)
So with one license of Office Home & Business 2013, you can only install Office on one PC. How many licenses of Office Home & Business 2013 are associated with your Microsoft account?

Hi Raghavendar,
Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
Add-Ins.
2. Please take one of the following actions:
If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
Disabled Items, and then click Go.
b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
Add-ins dialog box.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.

Microsoft Query for Office 2013 Home and Business

Where can I get Microsoft Query for Office 2013 Home and Business version? I have used it for years on my old XP machine with Office 2003.
Thank you, Sue

Hi,
You seem got an error like "Microsoft query could not be started because it isn’t installed" when you used it.
It may be not installed yet. We can go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Office 2013 Home and Business\change\Microsoft tools\MS query" and check if it is installed/enabled.
If it is not installed, please use the Install CD/ full installation copy to reinstall it.

Lync and Office 2013 Home and Business 'Present PowerPoint' not working

Hello All,
We have an Exchange online E1 plan that includes Lync, that we have been using without problems for the last year or so.
The 'Present PowerPoint' functionality of Lync is very useful, and again it has been working without fault until now. However, for one user who we have upgraded to Office 2013 Home and Business (from Office 2010), it no longer works when she clicks on
present, select PowerPoint and select a .pptx file. She gets the following error message...
'the presentatio.ppx couldn't be converted for presentation because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please install VBA and try again.'
The thing is it seems that Visual Basic for Applications is installed as a part of the Lync Basic Install. I re-installed Lync just in case, and when I clicked customize I ensured that Visual Basic for Applications was checked to install as run from the
computer.
In searching online I can see plenty of other people suggesting with Office 2010 to repair the Office install, and select customize and make sure the Visual Basic for Applications is checked to install too. However, with Office 2013 Home and Business
you don't get this option - it seems all or nothing. I have tried repairing both installs, re-installing etc with no luck
So is it that Office 2013 Home and Business incompatible with Lync or can anyone help or throw some ideas at me?
Thanks,
Andrew.

The suggestion since there is not direct solution as of today would be either roll back the office 2010 since we know this work
On upgrade to Office 2013 Pro use the full Lync Client

Installed Office 2013 home and Business and its prompting activation for Office 2013 standard

Dear Friends,
Previously i got a trial version of Office 2013 stadard version on my PC and later on i purchased Office home and business version, i uninstalled standard version restarted the PC and installed Office 2013 home and Business OEM pack and activated the prduct.
Now while i am opening any office product like Excel or Word while checking for activation information there its showing me both the versions of office, Office 2013 standard (activation required) and office 2013 Home and business activated. Now my question
is why that office standard 2013 is still showing in my activation page where as the same version was unable to find in my control panel programs and features. please help me out to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Maybe you didn't remove the the Standard version completely, I suggest you uninstall Office using the Fix it tool:
Click this Fix it.
Or we can uninstall Office 2013 manually, the steps are long and depend on your installation method, please refer to this article below:
Manually uninstall Office 2013 or Office 365
Note Before you start, you need to know removing Office manually is a long, complex process and might require that you reinstall the operating system if certain steps are done incorrectly.
After the uninstall, install the version you need to check the result.

Office 2013 Home and Business License Compatability with Windows Server 2012 R2

Are there any license issues with installing Office 2013 Home and Business on Server 2012 R2 operating system?
I am having inconsistent issues installing this software on a server running this operating system. The Office software is not being acccesed by client workstations. Its a stand alone software installation for the server. Are there any
special installation procedures I must follow or software registration procedures I must follow?
Microsoft website states Office 2013 Home and Business is compatible with Server 2012 but doesnt include the an R2 version reference.

Hi,
Please note only Volume Licensing editions of Office may be used on RDS host server. Since Home and Business is a Retail edition, it's not suitable/permitted if you are using RDS.

WSUS updates not applying to Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version

Hi
For some reason I cannot get WSUS updates to automatically install on clients running Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version.
For example
If user opens any of the office 2013 apps e.g. Outlook , word etc, it prompts a message at the top under the ribbon toolbar; UPDATE NOW.
All other updates for OS are downloading and installing just fine from our WSUS server.
What could this be?
I dont have this issue with clients running office 2003

First thing you need to do is be absolutely certain which edition of Office you have installed.
There are five editions of "Office 365" and these days, almost anything that is "OEM" is almost certainly Office 365:
Office 365 Home
Office 365 Personal
Office 365 Small Business
Office 365 Small Business Premium
Office 365 Midsize Business
Office 365 ships with an activation code for an online management account, and authorizes the installation of the software on up to five devices. Office 365 is updated via the WEB .. ONLY.
In addition there are three editions of Office 2013:
Office Home & Student
Office Home & Business
Office Professional
If you have one of these three editions, you should also have a DVD and a Product Activation Code for the SINGLE-PC installation which is licensed for these editions provided by the vendor of your computers. Office 2013 can be updated using WSUS.
Since you're getting a prompt IN THE APPLICATION to "Update Now", I believe you're looking at instances of Office 365, not Office 2013. Office 2013 (desktop) does not provide in-product prompts for updates/upgrades.

WSUS and Office 2013 Home and Business

Hello all,
I've actually set up Microsoft MDT 2013 to deploy OSes and Application for my company. This includes Office 2013 Home and Business (Click-2-Run version).
I've downloaded O2013 media with Office Deployment Toolkit, customized it to be deployed automatically through a network share, and then made it available through MDT 2013.
Everything runs fine, except one thing : Our WSUS server offers Office 2013 updates to our windows clients. It becomes very painfull, as it takes a loooong time to apply theses updates. Moreover, there are useless.
3 points :
On my Office 2013 H&B customization file, I've decided to disable any Office 2013 update through the XML File. Without success.
<Updates Enabled="FALSE" />
According to Microsoft, Click-2-Run software does not use WSUS channel.
I don't know it it's usefull, but my WSUS server is hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.
Thanks for your help.

Our WSUS server offers Office 2013 updates to our windows clients. It becomes very painfull, as it takes a loooong time to apply theses updates.
What are those updates? Have them got installed successfully?
As you already know, Office 365 is not patched via WSUS, it pulls updates from Microsoft CDN server which is a web-based service. Therefore, even WSUS downloaded those updates, they should be marked as "Not Applicable".
Do you have any other MSI-based Office instances on the machine?

Office 2013 Home and Business Medialess/PKC Retail: Is an Invoice and Photocopy of the original physical product key card enough as a proof of ownership?

With Office 2013 Home and Business Medialess bought through a retail channel (I believe formerly called Product Key Card) boxes, if you have an invoice and photocopy of the product key card. Is this enough for Proof of Ownership?
We've lost one of the physical product key cards but have a photocopy of it and this purchase is clearly shown on the original invoice.

Office 2013 Home and Business with WSUS

Hi,
My company acquired 50 licences of Office 2013 Home and Business a few months ago, and I've discovered the Click-2-run technology to keep O2013 up-to-date.
This morning, I've installed a new laptop as usual, including O2013 and our config to reach our WSUS server.
What surprises me is that, one hour later, Windows Update offers me to install 43 updates, all concerning O2013.
I'm pretty sure that no O2013 H&B update should come through WSUS, especially because of click-2-run.
Do you have any information about this specific case ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Office 2013 C2R check the Office 365 service - http://officecdn.microsoft.com/ for new updates, not through Windows Update.
As I know that WSUS is only used to manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update, so it should not prompt updates for your Office 2013 Home and Business installation.
Where did you get your Office installation source? Please first check if you have installed the correct version of Office, not a MSI based version.
Check if you have any other version of Office pre-installed in your OS, like a trial version or some components of other version of Office suite.
Here is a link to a list of all patches that are included in the most recent and past updates:

Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
- this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
- the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
3.) Re-install Office
- but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
works. however even after the install Office will not update.

Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
Office 365 forum, thanks.
