Microsoft Office 365 Licenses
I am trying to build a quote for a new server. I know that i need RDP licenses but what do I need for Microsoft Office. The systems connecting to the server already have either a 2010 license or a 365 activated. I also have 5 other users using Remote Desktop
and they use Office products directly on the server.
Now that i want to switch to 2012 R2 Standard, what type of products need to be installed on the server and how many? I get too many different answers.
Are you dealing with a Microsoft reseller for purchasing the products? They can help you with the proper licensing. That's why Microsoft trains them.

Evening Experts
I have setup a small business with 10 workstations in a client/server environment, each workstation is joined to a domain. The business has 20 users with their own AD login account, these users will randomly access any 10 of these workstation. My question
is do i need to purchase 20 Office 365 licenses or can i purchase 10 and any 10 users can have access the applications from any workstation?

Manage Office 365 Licensing via Azure API
I am at a loss. We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines. As a result we can not add all of our users, nor does anyone want to manage this manually.
The solution I proposed is to write a web portal where users can go and selectively apply a license for their account. On the back end, the page would execute an API of some kind to Azure and assign a license. In return, they can also go to remove the license
if they so desire (It will never happen but give the option).
What is the best way of doing this? The Azure management portal is extremely confusing and I can not figure out where to begin... I created an API that I can't even figure out how to use and I'm not even sure that I will be able to accomplish this using
an API. Any suggestions?
I am using Visual Studio 2013 and at this point purely using a bare bones console app just to see if I can get connected and execute a test API.
Thanks!
TonyHi,
Your second sentence is unclear "We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines".
Users can install Office 365 ProPlus on up to five different computers with a single Office 365 license. For example, a user can have Office 365 ProPlus installed on a computer in the office, on a laptop to use when traveling, and on a home computer.
With that in mind, do you really need to create this API?
Here's some more info on the Pro Plus license:
To use Office 365 ProPlus, a user must have an Office 365 account and have been assigned a license. If you, as the Office 365 administrator for your organization, remove a user’s license or account, the user’s installations of Office 365 ProPlus go into
reduced functionality mode.
Even though users don’t need to be connected to the Internet all the time to use Office 365 ProPlus, users must connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days. This is so that the status of their Office 365 subscriptions can be checked. If users don’t
connect within 30 days, Office 365 ProPlus goes into reduced functionality mode. After users connect to the Internet and their subscription status is verified, all the features of Office 365 ProPlus are available again.

Be Warned - Mavericks is not compatible with Microsoft Office 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be Warned - Mavericks is not compatible with Microsoft Office 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I upgraded to Mavericks on 4 seperate computers, an 2 iMacs, MBPro and an MBAir and ALL four no longer connect to Microsoft Office 365 email accounts either with Office 2011 or the built in Mac apps. Apple support says "Microsoft knew for a year that Mavericks was coming out and it their job to make it compatible". I repsonded that their own Apps like Mail, Contacts and Calendar don't work either and they attempted to trouble shoot those apps only to no avail after 4 hours and a Mavericks reinstall. I have also tried an Office reinstall.
Right now I am no where, stuck between two companies who say it's the other guys fault......Me again:
A colleagues more formal description of the problem:
We have had a major problem with people working directly off of the afp reshares with MS Word.
Word creates "Word Work Files" and usually is able to store them in either "Share/Temporary Items/uid/TemporaryItems/" or "Share/.TemporaryItems/folders.uid/TemporaryItems" as long as permissions are correct.
This works under 10.5.7 seed release 9J39 with direct attached storage, but with the Xsan reshared the word work files appear in the same folder as the opened document even though the permission for temporary items are correct.
This causes a number of issues, one being that if one user has a document open and another clears out the word work file then the open document cannot be saved.
Another issue that we have seen is where the word work file is created and then the original document disappears (although I think this may be another user housekeeping the word work files again).
We have tried to persuade users to work on local copies of the documents instead, but old habits die hard... -
I've been in touch with several Microsoft support teams about this issue, and the latest move was to shove me off onto Pro support, but since I'm using a personal Office account, I'm hoping that through the community I can find a way to resolve this issue without
escalating through our IT department. I do not think this is an Exchange issues because I have previously used this product and method without resulting in this error on a Windows 7 32-bit AMD computer and a Windows 8 and 8.1 Professional 64-bit Intel computer.
Here's my current specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, service pack 1
AMD A6-5400 3.6 GHz
8GB RAM
Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium
Office updates automatically, version 15.0.4551.1512
About Outlook shows "Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1511) MSA (15.0.4551.1508) 32-bit/Part of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium"
Here's how to reproduce the issue:
1) Open View Settings
2) Select "Other Settings..."
3) Disable "Use compact layout in widths smaller than XX characters" and enable "Always use single-line layout"
4) Select "Columns..."
5) Under "All Mail fields" add "In folder"
6) Select any email
7) Context-menu -> Find Related -> Emails in this Conversation
8) Select "more"
9) Sort by folder
10) Select all messages from Inbox.
11) Use Outlook's preset "Done" function and select a destination folder
12) Watch Outlook fail to run "Done" and reset your UI without producing an error.
The first attempt to resolve this issue was to set up a new Outlook profile. This seemed to exacerbate the problem and resulted in Outlook providing an "Unknown error" before resetting the UI.
The second attempt to resolve this issue was to run "outlook.exe /resetnavpane". However, the nav pane does not appear immediately relevant to this issue.
The following similar steps also result in a crash, this time with an error:
11) Flag all select message as Complete.
12) Move all messages from Inbox to a destination folder.
This change in procedure results in the error "Cannot move the items. Some items cannot be moved. They were either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."
Help me, Microsoft Community. You're my only hope.Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

No Power BI for Office 365 License???
Hi,
we have installed the free Power BI SharePoint App. We have assigned the free license to two users.
It now says correctly that we have 999998 of 1000000 licenses left. So far, so good :-)
But...when I click "Power BI" in the left navigation pane, the App seems to start but then:
"Keine Power BI für Office 365-Lizenz
Sie besitzen anscheinend keine Benutzerabonnementlizenz für Power BI für Office 365."
Which means in english: "No Power BI for Office 365 License...You don't have a user subscription license for Power BI for Office 365".
But we do have assigend the license to these two users!
Anybody have an idea what I can do?
We would even pay for Power BI but there is no link where we can buy the full license?
Thanks
MalteI have the same problem as Jamie
I added Power BI to my E4 subscription. However, when trying to access Power BI link on the left side of the screen, i get "No Power BI for Office 365 License" ask your admin.
I'm one of the office 365 admins and have a license assigned to myself already. I have deleted the app and re-added it with no luck so far.
Can you help please and suggest how to fix this?
Thank you so much in advance for your help -
hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?
There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac. -

when I use your "english.xml" file (as you provided, but I changed to Visio), it installs fine for me.
So, I think your issue is related to the files/folders you have, maybe you have changed the location/structure after downloading ?
the file/folder structure I downloaded is like this below. Is yours a similar structure?

Smart View add in 11.1.1.3 Compatibility with Microsoft Office 365
Our organization is looking to move to Microsoft Office 365. Is there any compatibility issues with the Smart View add in version 11.1.1.3? I checked the certification documents, but they do not mention anything about Office 365.
Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps. -
