Hi raghu.reddy,
For licencing questions, contacting the local customer service is the best approach for you:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Microsoft office licence on bootcamp

Hi everybody,
I'm considering installing bootcamp onto my Mac in order to run a few programmes that dont work on the Mac OS. If I do so and want to use Microsoft office (word and powerpoint primarily) will I have to purchase a second Microsoft office licence and product key? I already have office for Mac installed currently but assume this wouldnt work on the windows OS?

No, you need to buy an office for windows as well! or use Keynote, Pages and Numbers, from icloud.com its FREE!

Microsoft Office Licence Audit

Hi There,
I am looking for some advice, I am currently an IT Apprentice working for a medium sized business.
I have been asked to preform an office audit for a large number of laptops we have in the field which currently have various versions of office 2010/2013 running, all retail versions. I need to know the licences for a software tracking point of view as well
as for potential upgrades.
As no previous log has been kept I need to come up with the best solution. I have found Belaric Monitor, but I just wanted to know if anyone else knew of any programs/ utilities which would be able to help me achieve my target.
I have read that a batch file could be used to help retreave the office licences, but this is something I do not know much about. I do know that the office 2010 + licences are encrypted so would a batch
file still be able to view/ export this data?
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give me, I will really appreciate it.

In Office 2013, your best solution for audit Microsoft Office product on client is a new tool called Office Telemetry Dashboard:

Licencing Office 365 on Remote Desktop Services

So I am looking to move to Office 365 in the near future instead of just renewing my SA against Office standard.
I read somewhere that in order to continue to be able to clone these installs as part of my Terminal Server rollout, I need to purchase at least on Office licence on SA.
This is to allows access to the .ISO file and KMS licence. To keep compliant, the rest I will purchase via Office 365.
Does that sound about right and can I use Office 365 Mid Business as the version or does it have to be Pro?

I'm not quite sure what do you mean by "clone these installs as part of my Terminal Serverl...". If you mean use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to provide shared computers to users in your organization, you can use
shared computer activation to do this.
Please note, you have to do this with
Office Deployment Tool. Here is the reference you'll need:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782858(v=office.15).aspx
Office 365 has nothing to do with .ISO file and KMS licence. It uses Click-to-Run as the new installation technology, and must be activated with the Microsoft account associated with your subscription.

Activating Office 2013 for Small Business Scenarios

Some advice required please. We're a small VAR and supply hardware and software to small businesses with no in house IT department.
When customers have purchased Office Licences in the past, we've maintained a log of the number of licences held by a given customer, and a list of licences. This has worked well for Office 2007 and Office 2010.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not seem to be able to activate Office 2013 unless I associate it with a given email address, and I have issues with this approach. It is not ideal in a number of scenarios.
Is there any way to activate Office 2013 without having to associate the licence with a given users email address?
Stuart

No, we don't have to associate the licence with a given users email address.
The method to associate the licence with a email address is one of the available licensing methods, apart from which, we also have the traditional licensing method that is using product key.
For more licensing and purchase related topics, I'd suggest you to contact the Customer Service to obtain help:

View Portal content fro Office apps w/o having Office installed on computer

Is there a way in Portal 10g to display the contents of any MS Office suite document (e.g., Excel, Word, Power Point) directly in a Portal page without needing the Office software installed on a user machine? (For example, we have a Word document with HR benefit details. It's formatted with pictures, etc., and we'd like that document's content to display in a Portal page without having Word (or Open Office, etc.) installed on a user's machine. I've searched through various help screens and found nothing that was of assistance. (I am new to Portal & Oracle, and finding it somewhat difficult to understand even though I attended training!) There has been info about WebDav, etc., but my understanding of that is there's a software piece that must be purchased & installed on the client side. We're hoping to avoid that, if possible. Thanks to any Portal Gurus out there that could help!

Webdav is just a transfer protocol to access your Portal documents without an HTTP browser. This protocol is included in Windows webfolders for instance.
But whatever the protocol you use (http or dav) you will need a viewer to see documents.
If your main problem is to avoid Office licence costs then you could install OpenOffice on the client machine.
If your main problem is to avoid any installation on the user machine then maybe you can transform your office files into flash files and then publish them on the portal pages. That's what I do. See FlashPaper from Adobe/Macromedia or Print2Flash, rather cheap solutions.

Office on RDS on Server 2012 licensing

I have a client using RDS on Server 2012 to run proprietary software. They would like to begin allowing their sales force to connect to the server via iPads and run Office, which isn't yet installed on the server.
Thus far I've come to the understanding that what that will take is a volume license for Office installed on the server and an RDS license (they already have several) for every concurrent connection.
My questions are -
1) Am I right about installing the Office volume license on the server?
2) Do they need Office installed on the client device as well? (I wouldn't think so, but some things I'm reading say otherwise)
3) One of the reasons they want to switch to iPads (or Android devices or whatever) is to limit cost if their salesperson looses or breaks their device. So my question is, does the volume license count concurrent connections like the RDS license does or
is it somehow "tied" to the remote devices? For example -- If a salesperson does lose their device is it possible just to get another one and have them start using it without any additional licenses or is the license that was "tied" to
the old device just gone forever and we have to purchase another one to connect the new device? If the salesperson wants to RDS into the server from their home computer while their iPad is off and connect to their RD session would that require another license?
Or, if one of the people who connects to RDS who doesn't need to use Office accidentally opens "Word," will that license be then "tied" to their computer and wasted?
Thank you for any help,
Jeff Minch

Hi Pure,
Your friend of a friend is incorrect.
The statement you've made about licences being locked applies to the RDS CAL (specifically a per computer CAL), not Office. As I said before, an Office licence has nothing whatsoever to do with an RDS CAL.
There are three kinds of "common" Offices licences:
Retail.
MAK.
KMS.
Unless you're buying your copies of Office from a retail shop (or online shop) - and it doesn't sound like you are, then you can forget about retail keys.
MAK keys are accessed by one of the volume licencing agreement programs and are typically used by smaller businesses that don't have enough computers to be able to access the KMS approach to licencing or for clients that will not be able to talk to
a KMS server at least every 180 days.
MAK keys involve a once-off activation and then they never renew the activation again. This makes them ideal for things like non-Internet kiosks, field laptops and the like. The once-off activation can happen with the client being Internet-connected for
this once off activation or via an offline activation using the telephone or VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool).
KMS keys come in two flavours:
KMS host activation key, which is used to create a KMS "server".
KMS client key, which is a standard key that can be applied to as many volume licencing copies of Windows/Office ad you like, and which "instructs" the client to activate against the KMS server above.
There are a number requirements to be met before you can successfully deploy a KMS host, but it's not worth going into depth here about it as the only point to be made is that yet again, it has nothing to do with RDS licencing. The closest it would get to
being relevant is if the copies of Office installed on the RDS Session Hosts were activated via a KMS host.
I think you need to have a read-up on RDS licencing and the expiration process:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732416.aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3efeee70-9d23-4477-8b94-23e2643dd5bf/controlling-rds-user-cal-expiry?forum=winserverTS
Going back to your iPad clients, you need to determine whether you're using per device or per user licencing before you can figure out a way forward as far as RDS licencing goes, but again, this has nothing to do with Office licences being retained
on the device, as that scenario is not possible as Office activation doesn't work like that.
Perhaps the easiest way to depict the difference for you is to understand that RDS licencing functions outside of the RDS session while Office licencing functions within it, which is why a device being removed/lost has nothing to do with Office at all.
So long as you remember that you need to buy as many Office licences as there are clients connecting to the RDS environment, you can activate Office any way you like.
Cheers,

How to load microsoft office with the disc and no drive

i have microsoft office licence with no drive. how to install with just a product key.

Help needed - Planning Server 2012 solution, DC/Exchange/SQL/RDP host/Remote apps etc

Hi All,
I have a client needing me to provide a Windows server based solution for their business. I have limited experience with Server 2012, although I have worked with 2008R2 and SBS2011, I am needing some guidance with this 2012 project.
The client has about 8-10 local users who work at one office with an NBN connection, and 2 other locations that have 3-5 users at each location. I am needing to provide them with a server based solution to manage their data, remote access and also their
email. They are also likely to expand to another physical office soon.
I need to provide them with a DC controller, Exchange server and possibly an SQL server in the future. They currently use an Act database, but I have been told that once the database in ACT grows to 4G, a dedicated database is required?
I am currently thinking of having one physical server and virtualising the additional servers on this platform, however I come from a UNIX background and have not virtualised using Hyper V or ESXi before. I have read a little regarding the CLI and GUI Hyper
V options, but I really need advice on what will suit my needs best from someone that has done it.
I am thinking I maybe should recommend one physical machine with Server 2012 Std which, from what I understand, will allow me to install the host hyper V host on the physical machine and then I could possibly install an instance of Server 2012 as
the DC, Exchange and SQL server on one VM licence, however I have read it is not preferred to have the exchange server on the same VM as the DC but have read that limiting the memory usage of Exchange can negate these issues?
I will also need to have a terminal server/RDP session host in there as well which I could maybe use the 2nd VM licence for.
I suppose my question is, considering that I need to end up with a DC, Exchange server, terminal server/RDP session host and possibly a SQL server in the future, am I better off virtualising and running these on a Server 2012 Std licence, that allows a hyper
v host + 2xVM's or should I be splitting these roles up on different physical machines, keeping in mind costs need to be kept to a minimum.
Also I need to consider the Microsoft Office side of things. Is it more financially viable to use office licences and use remote apps from the terminal server, or just purchase Office H&B for the workstations/laptops and have their outlook connected
directly to the exchange server?
I am concerned from the performance viewpoint that if I run the DC/Exchange and SQL from one VM, then the TS/RDP Host from the other VM licence it may be too much for the DC/Exchange/SQL VM to handle.
I have used SBS 2011 in a few locations with Exchange and the SQL and DC roles installed on HP DL and ML gen 8 servers, and although they run a little slow on the console, they seem to serve the network clients fine.
If do end up running on one physical machine the Hyper V host, one VM as a DC, Exchange and SQL server, and the other VM licence as a RDP session host, what sort of spec'd machine would be recommended to be able to do this, keeping in mind
I usually lean towards HP servers.
Anyhow, thx in advance and any comments or suggestions will certainly be appreciated.
Mkm

Hello,
sorry but in your case without the knowledge of all major requirements i would suggest that you or your client contact an expert and not work with the forums to get this amount of information and setup requirements.
Exchange on DCs is NOT recommended, even not from Microsoft. Also it is highly recommended to run at least 2 DC/DNS/GC per domain for failover and redundancy, of course NOT on the same physical machine.
RDS servers should also run on dedicated machines and not be used for anything else.
SQL should also run on a separate server.
You cannot compare SBS version with regular server versions, the concept behind is different.
With that small amount of users you should consider using an Office365 solution where you could use a plan that fits your needs and have just computers for your client employees.
But as stated above therefore you should find an experienced consultant.

Trial version of Illustrator 16 & Java requirement.

I had a licence for Illustrator 10 for mac which no longer works as Mac has changed and I started using a version on Windows (Office licence). Now that I have a new mac, I have downloaded Illustrator 16 trial version to check the feasibility of buying it again. It was large but now it is gigantic 1.5GB download, no customization during install, install a lot more thing I need and lastly I could not even run the trial because it keep asking for Java run time 6 which is outdated (I have 7) and apple suggest that we don't use it.
Adobe, please get rid of extra by way of customizing install, update to use new Java.y money will wait for that. I will continue using a much older version in windows through parallels. My money will wait for Adobe to make it lean and efficient. Don't delay too much as the free inkscape is growing up every year.
Sincerely,
Manabendra Ray

RoboHelp6 vs RoboHelp server6

Hello all,
I just received my installation CD for RoboHelp 6! Yippee do
da! I am all excited...
However I am having some doubts on whether I was delivered
the correct software and the Adobe support team (sorry guys) are
absolutely useless at giving me any sort of support. I contacted
the US, French and UK support team, their sales team and tech
support and not one person was able to give me an answer to my
problem, so I thought that in the forum someone might be able to
answer me... So Adobe support team, please get up to date on
RoboHelp issues please!!!
So here it is: when I contacted the Adobe store they told me
that by buying the upgrade version of RH server 6, I would receive
the basic version of RH6 as well as the server application (exactly
like when purchasing RH X5 Pro for .Net). However I just received a
box with one CD with only the RH server 6 setup files.
1. Is this normal? Aren't I supposed to receive RH6 as well
for that price?
2. Why would anybody buy RH server 6 without the basic RH6?
This does not make sense to me, unless one is running several
websites in which case they would need several engine, but for one
RH server licence, would one not need at least one RH office
licence?
3. Can I publish an RH X5 project to RH server 6? If I can't,
again why would one upgrade the server application and not the
office application?
Finally check out this page on the adobe site
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_xeu/popup/software/robohelpserver/new_features.html.
Do the first 4 features not imply that RH 6 is included in an RH
Server 6 licence?
Any info on this matter is most welcome...
Chris

Thanks Peter. Highly appreciated.

Confused with all the software, need some opinions...

Hi, I am a recent Mac owner who is slowly trying to figure things out (I am bad with computers anyways) My dilemmas are: I was considering purchasing Office for Mac but then I see that there is also VPC so if I purchase VPC and download my Office for Windows on it, then I probably do not need Office for Mac. On the other hand I have read that VPC is pretty slow. The pricing of VPC is also a concern. I have researched few sites with similar programs like VPC that are cheaper and run pretty much like VPC (anyone heard or tryed IEMULATOR? www.iemulator.com, which is $25 , or guestPC www.lismoresystems.com, which is $50). The other thing is that i saw these sites about software that reads PC Cds on Mac (cdeverywhere.com and is about $40), and softarch.com/us/products/dm./html , which is about $60). So my question is if I have one of those virtual pcs or iemultor or whatever pc on my mac then i would not need those other PC reading software, coorrect?
All I need is to be able to exchange my files from my ibook to my pc desktop and viceversa with the easiest and cheapest software i can get. Anyone who has tried one of these mentioned above, I would appreciate your opinion on your experience with it. I like my ibook so far and all I am trying to do is to get the most use out of it.
Thank you in advance!

All I need is to be able to exchange my files from my
ibook to my pc desktop and viceversa with the easiest
and cheapest software i can get.
The cheapest way (ie free) is to use NeoOffice.
http://www.neooffice.org/
This is a fully compatible and functional office suite for the Mac, it is also free.
It can open and save Word, PowerPoint and Excel files.
Hi, I am a recent Mac owner who is slowly trying to
figure things out (I am bad with computers anyways)
My dilemmas are: I was considering purchasing Office
for Mac
This will also do the job as well and will be faster than using any emulated version of Windows.
but then I see that there is also VPC so if
I purchase VPC and download my Office for Windows on
it, then I probably do not need Office for Mac.
You would need to delete Office from your PC though, or purchase an additional licence in which case the Mac version would be better (and cheaper than buying VPC and another Office licence).
On
the other hand I have read that VPC is pretty slow.
It can be, and the native mac version of Office is faster than running Office on VPC.
The pricing of VPC is also a concern. I have
researched few sites with similar programs like VPC
that are cheaper and run pretty much like VPC (anyone
heard or tryed IEMULATOR? www.iemulator.com, which is
$25 , or guestPC www.lismoresystems.com, which is
$50).
Remember these do not include a licence for Windows which would be an additional cost.
The consensus about these products is that they do work, but are slower than VPC.
So my question is if I have one of those
virtual pcs or iemultor or whatever pc on my mac then
i would not need those other PC reading software,
coorrect?
Macs can read and open compatible PC files without the need for third party software. If you have Mac Office (or NeoOffice) they can both open Office files created on a PC.

New mail server, software, changing from POP to IMAP. Advice / Thoughts?

David Wiese wrote:
just out of curiosity why are you doing imap for 80 users? Was this for cost reasons?
another way is to use hosted exchange, $4/ month per mailbox
That was my thought too...
Is there no Office licencing? Even if you want to avoid Exchange, MDaemon with the Outlook Connector and ActiveSync is a far more pleasant experience than IMAP and Thunderbird.
Is all email currently stored in the POP mailbox, or is it pulled to PST files?
I would investigate using something like MigrationWiz to copy the data between the two servers, so all you have to worry about it updating the server details in the clients. Being clever with DNS, depending on the current setup, might avoid having to do even that.

Hi all.This won’t be short…..It seems I can’t find a good guide to migrating to a new non-exchange server solution and go from POP to IMAP in the process. I currently have approximately 80 email users in one location on a UTM device now functioning as email server only that must be retired. The mail service is the basic of all basic. After a lengthy trial, I have purchased Alt-N's mDaemon mail server. My end goal is to have everyone using IMAP (and eventually all the bells and whistles). The current production email server is mail.example.COM with WAN ip of xx.xxx.xxx.66My staged mDaemon server is mail.example.XYZ with WAN ip of xx.xxx.xxx.86 It is now on the same Lan with mail routing correctly to .XYZ. It is AD integrated and everything works for XYZ independently of .COM just nicely. I have tested everything through and all is good...
