Adding Licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI
Hello. I have one license for Office 365 Pro Plus and one Power BI license. I want to buy another Power BI license to assign to a prospective client so he can log on to my Power BI site and view Power Pivot reports in the browser. I think that I need to
purchase an additional Office 365 Pro Plus license ($12/mo) as well as an additional Power BI license ($40/mo). Is this correct?
My other question has to do with what I believe is referred to as my Organizational account. I have one for Office 365 and a different one for Power BI. That is, my logins are different for the two subscriptions. I'm not sure how this happened or even if
it's important. I have had no issues installing Office 365 on my desktop, laptop and tablet and I can upload files to my Power BI site and access them. Does it matter that my organizational accounts are different?
Finally, if I have it correct in paragraph 1 that I need an additional license for both Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI, do I just login to the two separate organizational accounts and add a license to each one?
Thank you.
Regards
Arthur
Hi Guy. I went ahead and purchased both licenses. The Office 365 is only $12/mo so it's not a big deal.
After getting that great information from you on the other post, I contacted Microsoft support and got this issue straightened out. I did have two accounts (domains). They had me cancel my Office 365 subscriptions on the account that I purchased those subcriptions
on and then resubcribed to Office 365 on the Power BI account.
Thanks again for all of your help.

Office 365 Pro Plus and ODBC issue
Hi,
ODBC connection works with Office 2013 standard but when Office 365 Pro Plus is loaded on the same machine after removing 2013 standard the odbc connection does not work.
Microsoft query does show the database but when we try to connect the message comes up saying microsoft not working. When I did a odbc trace the log showed error fault 1000 in mso.dll
Have tried the threads on 365 and odbc issues but none of these work.
Grateful if could get some assistance on this.
Kind regards,

Power Map Add IN to Trial Version of Office 365 Pro PLus
Hi
I have downloaded the Trial of Office 365 Pro Plus and have also downloaded the Power Query Add in which I have also installed. However I can’t install the Power Map add in as it says that I don’t have the correct version of excel, but this is because
it is seeing my Excel 2010 version I have installed.
How can I get the Power Map Add In installed on the excel in the office 365 pro plus?
ThanksAny suggestions for evilc?

Excel crashes after sending mail (Office 365 Pro Plus)
Hello All,
A user reported that Excel crashes after sending mail.
Excel is part of Office 365 Pro Plus and is fully update (Feb 2015). Also there is no add-in enabled.
Is there a way to raise a log or fix this issue?.
Regards
JOHi George,
Thanks for your reply.
The scenario is what you had described:
The user goes to File --> Share --> Email --> Send as Attachment. When he click "send
it" and then Excel crashed and got the "Excel has stopped working" error.
User didn't get "Excel has stopped working". User can't modify or close the Excel. So he had
two options:
- Kill the Excel Process
- Close Outlook then Excel can be used.
It seems Outlook is causing this issue (as you said).
When Excel Crashed after sending mail, I noticed that there is no pending request on Outbox.

Office 365 Pro Plus vs Office 2013 Pro Plus licensing
I can't find any exact answers on this but I'm wondering if I can run Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of office 365 Pro Plus click to run. The problem is click to run causes all kinds of problems with 3rd party software. It's so random too and doesn't happen
to everyone in my office.
With office 365 this is what happens. We have this 3rd party integration with word that adds a tab to interact with our CRM. When you click a button on this tab word crashes and you loose your document. It will auto recover most of the time but at that point
the 3rd part integration is broken because the document was open outside of the software.
I did an online repair of office 365 but that didn't fix it.
So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement.
I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL.
Thanks!Hi,
"So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement."
By the volume license key, do you mean a MAK key? Technically it should work fine, but since it will be related to the licence policy, I suggest you contact the local customer service to confirm:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
"I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL."
I understand in your scenario if you activate Office 2013 with the Office 365 account it will display Office 365. But does it also display "click to run"? The installation method should change unless you installed Office 2013 via click to run too.

Error when Launching Office 365 Pro Plus in Remote Desktop Services
Hello, I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and I have installed Office 365 pro plus volume license but I keep receive the error when I launch the product I receive this error "This Copy of Microsoft Office 2013 cannot be used on a computer running
Terminal Services. To use Office 2013 on a Computer running Terminal Services, You must use a Volume License Edition of Office"
Jim GUnlike managed volume-licensed environments, Office Professional Plus for Office 365 cannot use Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) or Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services as deployment options. Because Office Professional Plus for Office 365 is
based on the Retail SKU, you cannot install it on a Terminal Server.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1
Hello,
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
So, what is the alternative approach?
Thanks
RajIf this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
Hi,
this is incorrect.
There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

Office 365 pro plus 2013 update won't apply automatically
Hi
We have started to use office 365 pro plus 2013 click to run. The issue / problem we have is that the updates are installing but does not apply. The version of word,excel.. Is old
and i need to manually go to example word and account to apply the updates. I want the updates to automatically apply.
In the config file i have enabled updates. <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />. I have also enabled updates thru group policy and checked that the policy is applying.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\propertyBag i have the following keys:
updatesenabled = 1
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodComplete = 1
updatesreadytoapply = 15.0.4535.1511,en-us
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodStartTime = 13026393682226
updatesthrottlevalue = 313
version = 15.0.4535.1004
Does anyone have this problem and know how to make the updates apply automatically. I know that if there are office applications open it won’t apply or update but i have a test
computer with no office applications running in the process list and still it won’t apply the updates.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus on Systems with Existing Office 2010 / 2013 Installations
We're preparing to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus with our existing SCCM 2012 infrastructure. Many of our clients currently have Office 2010 or Office 2013 installed on them. What is the default setup behavior for installing Office 365 Pro Plus on these systems?
Will any versions of Office be removed first?
Orange County District AttorneyHi,
As a supplement to what you have got, Click-To-Run is a Microsoft virtualization technology which provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. It allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version
of Office that is already installed on your computer.

Hi
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus via SCCM, I followed this process https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/How-To-Deploying-Office-70e8b1eb#content , we don't use the application catalogue but I made the application available to be run via system
center.
Though can't get it deployed, I keep getting some errors about checking internet connections ...though I can run the command manually and it'works.
Does anyone managed to install it via SCCM ?Thank you for the reply,
Where I am lost is where it downloads the Office C2R from ?

Office 365 Pro Plus - updates from the internet
Hi All
I've used the Office deployment toolkit to download Office 365 Pro Plus to a local file server, and have now packaged this up within SCCM 2012 for deployment to clients.
In my configuration.xml file i have the following set for updates
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
I understand that this setting allows for updates, and client will download them from the internet.
Is this correct?
I am concerned that the Office 365 source files i downloaded are a few months old now, so will be out of date and i am relying very much on my deployed clients to be downloading updates as expected. Do i need to do anything else?
Thanks<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
I understand that this setting allows for updates, and client will download them from the internet.
Is this correct?
That's correct, with Updates element configured as "TRUE", the Click-to-Run update system will check for updates from the CDN server automatically. So with this configuration, you will always be up-to-date:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx#BKMK_UpdatesElement
Deploying with an old build should be no problem here, but why not re-download a newer build with ODT (Office Deployment Tool). That should not take too much time and will definitely reduce the network bandwidth consumption when Office 365 updates itself
from each client after the deployment...

Office 365 Pro Plus - Fail to update Build version when user clicks 'Cancel'
I'm planning to deliver Office 365 Pro Plus updates via SCCM 2007 where i can control the build versions and use the already available SCCM to do so.
My issue is around the user clicking "Cancel" when they are prompted with the notification window to close down Office apps when trying to release an updated build version.
This is because when the user selects cancel the application fails with "The exit code is 17002, the execution status is FailureNonRetry" =
FAILED. This message is taken from the execmgr.log.
Ideally I'd like to allow the user to defer the install say 3 times and afterwards deploy it mandatory...like how you could manage WSUS patches.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions around this? Thanks in advance!Generaly, this is not possible I think, at least nothing can be done on Office side. Office
365 cannot install the new build if any Office applications are running.
We do have a attribute (FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN) that can be set in configuration.xml file to force shutting down any applications that block the action, but this will not
make the process your ideal way.
So through Office if you click Cancel the user cancels the update and will not be re-prompted? Surely in the corporate world you would want them to be compliant and not have the user ultimately manage their patch level?
I am already using Forceappshutdown but enabled the display level (in the config.xml) which is how they are prompted to close the app. For sure doing this silently would not be feasible. It would automatically close office regardless. Definite no no.
I will repost in the SCCM forum and see if i have any luck if what you say is true. I can't be the only person with this issue. I need to find some guidance on deferral procedures. -
Office 365 pro plus not getting activate
Hi All,
after install office 365 pro plus, i am trying to activate the product using my assigned email id for the activation. every time when i try to activate it will appear below error. i am using our company proxy address for internet connection.
using my email id i am able to access office 365 portal but not able to activate.
sriniPlease login to your Microsoft account at
Office.com/myaccount to check if the Office 365 subscription is available for your current account.
Once the new Office has been redeemed and activated, the end customer will not need to use their Product Key anymore as they will access their
Office.com/myaccount page with their Microsoft account to manage their product.
