Office 2013 Rights Management Services??

I am trying to make a powerpoint file I have created in Office 2013 (on Windows 7 64 bit) a read-only file so that presenters cannot change content, but can still view and present the file normally.
This was very easy to do with previous versions of Office, but in 2013 I am asked to sign in to "Rights Management Services" using my live ID. I have no problem with that, but it has not worked for me yet - I get the following error:
Any advice or help would be much appreciated!
A couple notes: I can still encrypt with a password, but this would not allow presenters to open, view and present the file without the password.

Hi Dan,
It seems that PowerPoint doesn't have Restrict Editing option available as described here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Protect-your-document-workbook-or-presentation-with-passwords-permission-and-other-restrictions-05084cc3-300d-4c1a-8416-38d3e37d6826?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
So the only option I see to complete your scenario is to use RMS - Rights Management Servers. However RMS can be installed as on-premises service, so you have to deploy and configure AD RMS server (it is not easy as it requires certificates, SQL, designing,
etc).
You can other options as weel - for example use Office 365 E3 or E4 licences. Those include Azure RMS subscription. If you have such license assigned to your user account, once you get prompt for credentials - type your O365 user credentials.
Another option is to use RMS for individuals. Go to the page http://aka.ms/rms and register your private account to use RMS and then you would be able to sign in to RMS Service with your private e-mail account. Be advised that not all private e-mail domains
are supported. For example you will not be able to register your @gmail.com or @hotmail.com account...

Rights management service

Hi All,
I have a query on Rights management service that comes along with Microsoft. I have the following question:
1. What needs to be done to get a lifetime licence, as it provides the licence for 30 days only?
2. Does this service work on real time, for eg. I have set the date of expiry of a document for 10 days and have given only read access. But after sending the document to the concerned person, i realise that i shold have given only 5 days
access, can i now change this policy on the same document that the recepient has already accessed at their end?
3. Can this service be used within an organisation? Means, today if i restrict a document and send to any outsider, and if i resign then can someone control these rights on my behalf?
4. Is it possible to apply these policy on a folder in an organizational structure? that means, if i create a folder with certain restricted persmission then all the permission given to the folder should automatically get applied to all the document
within that folder? also, if the file is emailed then those permissions should go along with the document?
Will appreciate a detailed response on the same.

Office Standard 2013 Key Management Service host 32-bit or 64-bit version ?

Hello,
I have a 2012 DomainController serving as our KMS host.
I need to activate 2013 Lync 32-bit clients so I will have to install the office 2013 KMS host.
The KMS host download is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Should I download the 64-bit version because the 2012 OS is 64 bit or will I download the 32-bit host since the Office version we use is 32-bit?
BR
Sverre Amundsen

Hi,
Based on my understanding, I suppose that you want to activate 32-bit version of Lync 2013. Is it right?
If so, you can only install 32-bit version of Office 2013 on your PC. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office programs don’t get along, so you can only have one type installed at a time. If you mix 32-bit and 64-bit version installed
on the same PC, you might see some errors.
Reference about why can’t I install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office 2013:

By the way, there is an article about choosing 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office.

Office 2013 products manage version function never responds

This all started a few weeks ago and had previously been working.
scenario ...
Open any office document from any internal SharePoint 2010 site
Go to Info->Manage Versions, we receive a trying to retrieve server versions message and the refresh server version list is greyed out.
Thus in the office app you cannot checkout a document. If you check out the document in SharePoint first, and then open it you cannot checkin an updated version from inside the office app, for the same reason. This only occurs on clients running office
2013, office 2010 clients continue to work. There are multiple separate SharePoint farms involved, so I don't think it is a server side issue. I can save the document changes and then go back to SharePoint and explicitly checkin the changes. It affects
multiple users on multiple client machines.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.

Lifecycle Rights Management ES for CATIA

Hello,
I would just like to confirm a few points considering CATIA and Microsoft Office documents.
Digital rights of native CATIA files cannot be controlled directly . They must be converted to pdf in order apply rights management. Thus, file distribution will only be done by pdf files.
Contrary to CATIA files, native Microsoft Word documents CAN be controlled from Office Applications (for example, the save command of Word can be restricted). This is functionally equivalent to Microsoft's Rights Management Service.
This may be already stated in the documents.
Thanks in advance.

I think LiveCycle does support Catia file. Client (Catia) has to have extension for LiveCycle though.
I found this from my Google search:

Co-existence of AD RMS On-Premises and Azure Rights Management

Recently, I was part of an internal IT project to implement AD RMS on-premises on top of Windows Server 2012 R2. We had created a template, assigned users to it and the template has been in use for about 2 months without any issues.
I was then reading about the Azure Rights Management Service which had been released and we were eligible for with our Office 365 subscription. I went through all the documentation and went ahead with implementing it yesterday not seeing any caveats based
on our current setup. Well, today, I received word from users that they were not able to see the original template they were using when trying to protect a document, only the new "Confidential" and "Confidential - View Only" templates that
I know are provided by the Azure Rights Management Service.
I have scoured the web and the Microsoft IT forums, but cannot find any information about restrictions on using on-premises AD RMS along with the Azure Rights Management Service at the same time. I really like the idea of using the Azure version as then
our corporate users can get their policies on all their devices and when outside the network as well as the great new sharing options for other users outside the organization. However, I also need to have some more granular control over at least one template
which I can do with the on-premises AD RMS.
My question is: can you have both rights management services running at the same time? At this point, I may have to disable the Azure Rights Management Service in order to restore the previous functionality that my users are relying on, but I'd like to have
both options available if possible and short of that, maybe migrate over to the Azure hosted version. In addition, is there any documentation that includes considerations for migrating from AD RMS to Azure RMS?

"In addition, is there any documentation that includes considerations for migrating from AD RMS to Azure RMS?"
Just in case you missed the announcement, migration from AD RMS to Azure RMS is now supported:

Microsoft office 2013 support WOW 5 phone calls so far

I have posted this to the Microsoft community and thought I would also post it in the forums
posted Thursday April 9 2015
I look after multiple locations across Ontario for a company each their own separate entity so volume licencing is not applicable.
The situation is that I have installed 17 copies of office 2013 and registered the product keys with my Microsoft account, and when I log into the Microsoft account the product keys I find on the site don't correspond to any of the physical
product key card serial numbers I have. talked to Microsoft support twice with no solution. was told by 1 person I should have a Microsoft account for each install. I will be doing 100 installs eventually. the second person told
me I didn't matter what download I selected from my Microsoft account as it would automatically prompt me for a product key. it didn't. spent 4 hours on phone so far and received 1 email, all with canned answers which don't even correspond to the
problem
posted update April 10th 2015
I have 17 keys registered to the 1 account. I did a test this morning. I installed a brand new copy of office 2013 right out of the box to a computer and registered it to a new Microsoft account with only 1 copy of office registered to that account.
I log into the new Microsoft account this morning and the product key online associated with the account isn't the same as the product key I inputted yesterday from the key card.
Anyone have any ideas about this
Update
Installed second brand new copy from the same Microsoft account to a different computer and it said it was already registered. had to manual registration. requested a call back from Microsoft support and got the call and explained the situation
and the person couldn't help me but thought installation and licencing could and was transferred. explained 90% of the situation before I was disconnected. In case you are wondering I am being polite on the phone as I realize the people I
am talking to are not the cause of the issue
I need a call from someone higher up in support for office 2013 and cant seem to do this. if I call customer support it is really only a facilitator which pushes me off to a support desk or something called up-and-running and none of them
even acknowledge the issue of the product key mismatches
Any help would be appreciated as the support from Microsoft on this has been useless

For problems with MS Office for Mac and other 3rd party apps, its best to go to the forums run by the people who make them, it really doesn't have anything to do with Apple. For MS this is :
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword
MS Word for Mac OS X has never supported any RTL or Indic script, even after 14 years. Other apps that work ok for most users are Mellel, Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and LibreOffice.
If your problem is focussed on editing a complex RTL doc created by Windows Word, then the best fix may be to run Windows on your Mac and work within Office for Windows.

Work Management Service (WMS) Application on mulit-farms

Hi guys,
Is there any limitation for configuration the Work Management Service (WMS) Application on multi-farms?
I have 2 farms – farm A hosts all SAs and farm B hosts only web contents.
I understand there is dependency between WMS and search and UPS. Does that mean I cannot deploy my WMS on farm A?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to configuration the Work Management Service (WMS) Application on multi-farms.
Per my knowleadge, you can deploy Work Management Service on farm A.
Though there is dependency between WMS and search and UPS, , some service applications such as Search and User Profile can be shared across server farms in SharePoint 2013.
In addition, you can also configure a SharePoint Server 2013 content farm that receives search queries to trust the SharePoint Server 2013 farm that sends the queries.

Firefox opens multiple tabs while clicking on "Manage account" under File- Account in Office 2013 opens the right Tab and another random URL-Tab

I have office 365 installed. When I click on Manage Account under File->Accounts in office 2013, it opens 2 Tabs in Firefox.
Tab1: https://office.microsoft.com/MyAccount.aspx?ver=15&app=winword.exe&MachineKey=02011-005-827906&fromAR=1
Tab2: http://www.4a1.com/ ( which is random)
The version of firefox is 24 and set as the default browser.
Operating System: Windows 7SP1
Already contacted Internet Service provider-Optimum, also the antivirus for security concerns but could not find anything from their end respectively.
The issue occurs on Windows 8 laptop also.

Thank you for your reply.
(FYI: The above question was posted by a ''Microsoft Research Engineer'' and me since neither of us can figure out why this is happening. So the brain-bank on this is pretty big!)
I scanned with all of the above scanners. (Thank you for the links!)
I also scanned my system with Adaware, Super Antispyware, Norton Internet Security 2013, and Norton Power Eraser . . . and Kapersky v14 on the Windows 8 system)
NONE of the scanners reported anything other than the usual trackers.
Firefox was un-installed, re-installed, reverted back 4 versions ''and'' v3. Chrome shows the same result.
The Windows 8 system was wiped and restored. Office 365 was immediately re-installed and showed the SAME behavior except that the "random" 3-character URL was different . . .
. . . This extra Tab ''only'' shows up when I open any Office 2013 product to a New document or worksheet go to File>Account>Manage Account.

Cannot download Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (KB2850036)

I'm using SCCM 2012 Config Manager. I've created a software update date for Office 2013 - Service Pack 1. It contains only 1 update, and that's the Office 2013 SP1 (KB2850036).
The standalone installer for this KB is around 640MB, according to the following link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817430/en-us
When I choose to Download this update with SCCM, it starts the normal "Provisioning Update" process but sits at 0%. The deployment package directory grows to 334 folders, 329 files taking 3,707,522,416 bytes on the hard drive, and then eventually
throws the following error in SCCM.
Error: Service pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2850036) 32-Bit Edition. Failed to download content id 16844655. Invalid certificate signature.
I've tried the download a couple of times, and I get the same thing.
Any suggestions?

WSUS does not use the stand-alone installer for any updates. For this update in specific, because I had a battle with it, there are something like 700 different files that are part of the update and something like 800GB of data - those are ballpark numbers
based on my spotty memory; IOW, lots. Your best bet is just to right-click on the update itself and select download again.
If that still doesn't work at all, you can click on the update and go to the content tab, you'll see all of the files listed. You can individually copy the URLs (using Ctrl+C) and download them manually if there are one or two that won't download.

Unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service from command line - Win81 MS Office 2013 SP1

I'm unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service on a Windows 8.1 laptop for MS Office 2013 SP1 (32-bit) using the following command:
cscript ospp.vbs /osppsvcrestart (issued from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15)
When this is run, a window appears with the title ospp.vbs and the text "Error: The Software Protection Platform service is not installed"
I verified that the service is installed in services.msc, and was able to manually stop and restart the SPP service in the Services console without issue.
The command runs correctly when restarting the MS Office 2013 SPP on Windows 7 devices.
Has anyone else seen this or have a solution for it?
The reason that I am attempting to restart the service from the command line is because this command is part of a script to change the KMS server IP Address used by OSPP prior to software activation.
The only other options that I have at this time is to ask the users to reboot, or manually force a reboot. This is both time consuming and disruptive to the users.
The Fix It tool to remove MS Office 2013 was run, and the MS Office 2013 software was successfully reinstalled after a reboot. The software was successfully activated. When the command was run, it produced the same exact error.

Hi,
I am able to reproduce this on my own machine, but in my case, I don't see the specific service running in the Services console.
I would like first confirm that whether you've the right service running on your Windows 8.1 system. The display name of this service should be "Office Software Protection Platform", service name is "osppsvc".
You can also check this by going to below path where you should see the executable file (OSPPSVC.EXE) if the service is installed on your system (in my case, the folder is empty):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform

Office 2013 with Service Pack 1 installation error about "search path"

I have an automated installation technique that has worked fine with Office 2010 Pro Plus (32-bit), incorporating the latest Service Pack into the network administrative installation point (under \updates), adding 10 foreign languages to the network administrative
installation point, creating a custom .msp with the OCT (that goes into \updates too), editing the config.xml files, and then running setup.exe from that network administrative installation point. This works on 32-bit Windows XP clients and on 32- and 64-bit
Windows 7 clients.
For Office 2013 Pro Plus, I have built the network administrative installation point exactly the same way (original DVD files + languages + SP1 updates + config.xml updates), but the installation is failing with every type of client, all with
the same error message. The network administrative installation point is readable by the normal installing account, but I even get the same error when I login as me and initiate setup.exe manually, and I have all rights to this point.
Here's the critical point from a log file:

I cannot find any references to this exact error anywhere on the Internet. Can anyone tell me what this means, and how I fix it?

As automated, the utility that runs setup.exe maps a drive letter to
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt using a kboxmap AD account, which has read access to the whole \KBOXalt tree. I used that same kboxmap AD account manually to simulate what the utility does, and hit the same problem. But here's what's
odd: right next to that
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2013 directory is an
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2010 directory, both created the same way, and the Office 2010 installation has always worked perfectly using the kboxmap AD account. I don't understand why Office 2013 is only working for an account with
read/write access, where Office 2010 worked fine for an account with only read access. Especially when the Office 2013 resource kit documentation clearly states that the account running the installation should only have read access, nothing more. (All this
KBOX stuff comes from the fact that our deployment environment is a Dell KACE KBOX 1000. However, that plays no part in the problem: ignoring the KBOX 1000, I can manually recreate the problem every time.)
