Hi,
Please explain the scenario a bit more, what's your activation method? Do you use a volume license?

Office 2013 Std (local) in combination with Office 2013 Pro (App-V)

Hello,
I have multiple RDS servers, that have Office 2013 Std installed locally. I did this on purpose, after reading some blogs pointing out Office 2013 is a complicated applicatie to stream well. And of course Office 2013 is highly critical to my clients.
So I have a local installation of Office 2013 Std on every RDS server.
The catch is, that the client also has an open license for Office 2013 Pro. This is because some users need to work with 'Access 2013'.
So I thought it would be nice to use App-V to stream Access 2013 to the RDS servers. I have created the package for Office 2013 Pro, with Access in it. And I succesfully published Access 2013 to the group of users. So I can use Access on the RDS servers.
The problem is, that when I click on the appliation "MSACCESS.exe", the application pops up in taskmanager and is immidiatly shut down again. So it never launches. No error, no nothing.
I can't find any directions in the server, applicatie or App-V logs in the eventviewer. Does anyone have a clue where to look?
Thanks in advance

I think to be on a safe side, using a 'true' control system like AppSense or using dedicated RDS servers would be the only legally valid option.
Even when Office (or at least Access) is virtualized, the licensing part and product key handling is done natively on the RDS servers by the 'Office 2013 Deployment Kit'. Besides others this includes a locally installed 'licensing stump'. Therefor there
can be only one Office Suite product key be assigned to a RDS server machine.
In fact you could tell the Deployment Kit to use the Office Pro key (allowing a virtualized Access to run), but then also the locally installed Office Version would (attempt to ) be licensed as 'Pro'. That potentially won't work. In fact you could re-configure
the local Standard Office installation to consume Pro licenses, but that doesn't fit to your legal licenses.
As Aaron write, legally an Office license is bound to the endpoint device, so you'd have to make sure that your Access App-V package can only be access by permitted client machines. And while App-V can filter application on the accessing user and the executing
machine, it can't filter on the accessing end-point.
Though we don't like it... 3rd party or a server silo seem the way to go.

Office 2013 STD

Hi, using a office 2013 std in windows 7 pro 32bit. Facing one issue is it bug in office 2013?
If i have one excel file opened and opened one more file in the task bar excel icon shows preview of both file but if clicked on second file preview which opened later it not showing.

Do the real Excel document windows toggle focus ( come into focus / go out of focus) when you hover over the preview windows?
Please update the graphic driver to the latest version and then Have you ever tried to restart Excel and your computer to see what happens? If not, please do so first. If the reboot does nothing, please try toggling the Aero on and off to see how that affects:
For Win7 User:
Disable Aero:
1. Right-click on the Desktop.
2. Click Personalize.
3. Within the Personalize Window scroll down to the Windows 7 basic theme and select it.
Enable Aero:
1. Right-click on the Desktop.
2. Click Personalize
3. Select any of the themes in the Aero Themes category or in the My Themes category, if you saved a personalized Aero theme.
Let me know if this works for you.

Office 2013 runs configuration process every time it starts

When I start Word, Excel, Outlook, or Powerpoint, but not OneNote, a window opens called Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and runs the Configuration Process which takes several minutes. This only happens on one computer. I have tried suggestions
from other threads for both Office 2010 and 2013, see my post in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeitpro/thread/8ddd4809-9529-48f0-85a8-ea03598bd83a#0b6ba57c-6509-42e6-b0a5-7657a8ff7334
I added the NoReReg key for all prior versions of Office: 11, 12, 14, and the current 15 (this might have reduced the time the configuration takes - it seems like the progress bar used to run through 3 times, and now only once, but I am not 100% certain).
It appears that priority support doesn't look at posts in other threads, but only original questions, hence, I am posting this.
I tried using Process Monitor to find where the configuration information is stored that prompts Office to rerun this process every time, but there were so many similar events that I gave up after trying to filter it down for several hours.

Hi Brick,
Not sure if you have tried to repair your Office, if no, please try to repair your Office as a quick fix.
If that doesn't work, try to fix it with the following methods:
Method 1:
Open an elevated Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press
ENTER:
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
Method 2:
Try start Office in safe mode, see if this problem will still persists. (Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Office program to start it in safe mode.)
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, this issue might be related to third-party add-ins. Disable the add-ins and start Office to see whether the problem continues to occur.
If the problem continues to occur in safe mode, we recommend that you uninstall Office and then install it. To do this, read the following Microsoft knowledge base article:

PDF Addin in office 2013 - Certificate Expired

Dear All,
We have just updated our Office Version to 2013 in my firm and decided to enable the option "Require Application Add-ins to be signed by trusted publisher", for security reasons
We are also using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.5 and have noticed that PDF Addin is not loaded due to this security setting.
We have checked the Digital Signature of the file PDFMOfficeAddin.dll and noticed that it is expired (Valid from 20/09/12 to 21/09/13).
Is there any possibility to make this addin available using our security restriction ?
Many thanks in advance for your help,

Having the same issue with Office 2010 and Acrobat XI. We are manadated to enable "Require Application Add-ins to be signed by trusted publisher" and need to find the solution to the expired certificate.

Office 2013 - Templates contacting MS Server

Dear Community,
I've installed Office 2013 Std. on one of our Windows 7 (32 bit) without Office templates. But when I start Word or Excel, the system is always asking for a username & password. This message popups, because our proxy is blocking the connection to: office15client.microsoft.com
We won't allow the access to that and what I don't understand is: we installed without templates, but Office 2013 wants to connect to the internet. Has anyone an idea how to disable that?
Thanks for helping/discussing.

Hi,
How did you install Office 2013 without templates? Based on my test, only Access and Outlook have templates in the installation.
And try to uncheck File>options>trust center>trust options>privacy> "Allow office to connect to the internet" option in Excel 2013 and Word 2013 to check the issue.

Office 2013 invisible windows

I have a strange problem that seems to be occurring randomly but regulary on my computer. It also seems to effect some of my collegues but not to the point it does for me.
The problem is that with my Office 2013 installation I will every once in a while get invisible windows for Office 2013 applications. This means that one or more of my open Office 2013 windows turns invisible and can not be accessed unless first minimized
by right clicking the taskbar icon and then restored/maximized again. Then the window will turn normal again. A side effect of this is also that sometimes the invisible window is the top window making it impossible to click on whatever window seems to be on
top (but actually is under the invisible window).
This applies to all applications in the Office 2013 installation, I have seen the bug for Word, Excel, Outlook (main window, open email conversations, etc), Powerpoint and Access.
The behaviour is similar to what is described in the following (but closed) thread for the preview version but I am using the latest version with the latest updates from Microsoft Update. The difference is that I do not see any connection to closed windows
as described in this thread.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeitpropreview/thread/fac48ad4-516c-457c-ba89-56f47f465841/
I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (Swedish) but I also have Excel 2003/2007/2010 installed. I have never seen this for any of the earlier versions so this is something new for Office 2013.
Anyone have any solution to this?

I've experienced this problem since day 1 of installing office 2013. i don't open attachments as often as some folks might, so that's not where i see the problem. usually one of the office 2013 window will just randomly be invisible when i switch to it.
i'm used to it by now and i know to either alt+space+r or x (resize window, maximize window) and the window will properly repaint/refresh itself. if i know the form is maximized i can also grab the invisible window handle at the top of the screen, drag it
around, and it repaints itself.
I would think it's an issue with some new window container system office uses, because i see it on outlook, onenote, excel, practically all of them that i use. i use no third-party plug-ins except lync and live meeting, and since they're microsoft products
i don't even consider those as third-party. what comes to mind is the cute new 'customize the look of the office windows' system. i picked the geometric pattern (lol is that bad?).
this is on a dell precision company laptop, windows 7 x64, nvidia graphics card, and office 2013 x32. it may be relevant that dameware is installed and running at all times. i wonder if anyone else with this problem also runs dameware?

Patching Office 2013 multilanguage - updates to be applied

Hi,
I deployed Office 2013 Std English with a list of Language Packs (german, italian, spanish, ...). To make the deployment, I created an administrative share with the suite (english version) and added several folders extracted fron Language Pack iso (the iso
is named "Office Multilanguage Pack 2013 w Proofing Tools (All Languages)"). The deployment worked fine: now users can select English or other languages for the interface, the guide and the proofing tools.
Now, I have to update for my deployed Office 2013 suites. I configure WSUS to download updates for Office 2013, but my question is: I can download only the english version for updates, or I have to configure WSUS also to download updates for Office
in the languages I added to the suite?
Thanks in advance.
Roberto

Always include English in addition to any other languages that are required throughout your organization.
All updates are based on English language packs.
The recommended practice by Microsoft
is as below:
Plan for WSUS Update Languages

Choose a Type of WSUS Deployment

Hi,
Please first make sure your Excel and antivirus is fully patched.
How did you bypass the antivirus? Does this issue happen even the antivirus is turned off? Please contact the antivirus provider to make sure if there is any update released for this issue.
In addition, some people worked around this issue by turning off Windows Search indexing, you may have a try.

Visio 2007 launch problem with Office 2013 installed "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio..."

Running under WIN7-64 bit with Office 2013. Requests reinstall every time it is run. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No change. Office 2013 does not recognize that Visio 2007 is installed. Copy paste operations between Visio and Word 2013 don't
work. Tried disabling sharepoint access for Visio 2007 and did a repair for Office 2013. No change.Tried various compatibility modes. No change. Ran Microsoft troubleshooter which verified there is a compatibility issue but provided no solution.
Tried the following...
Type the following command, and then press Enter:
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Visio\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
no change

Hi,
Based on the situation, I recommend you try to use locale administer account to login in the computer.
Then we re-install Visio 2007, if you solve the issue,please let me know.

Office 365 against Office 2013

Hello,
I plan to procure 60 new PCs for my office. I need to also buy MS Office licenses. Currently, we have 25 Office 2013 Std.(perpetual) licenses. We will mostly use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. We do not want to use cloud storage.
In my scenario, I will buy 12 Office 365 licenses and use/install on all new 60 PCs(5 PCs per username). This is legal ?
To avoid cloud storage, I have disabled/unchecked "Office Online" and "OneDrive for Business" in "Assign License" window. Is this correct?
Am I understanding this Office 365 license model correctly? Please help/suggest.
Many thanks for help.
TE-IN

Hi,
You may have heard that Office 365 allows a user "get the full, installed Office experience on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets (including iPad® and Android™ tablet) and 5 phones", but we don't suggest our users to share a licence with 4 other users. To
get the best user experience, purchase one licence for each user.
As this question is actually about licensing, the best approach is the local customer service, contact them to ask for the best plan for you. We mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about the Office client in the current forum.
You can find your local customer service number in this link below:

Office 2013 continues to ask for reactivation every time

Hello:
Every time we open office 2013 using Azure, it asks me to reactivate it. Are there any solution for this.
TEK

Hi Brian123456,
Installing and using Office Programs on Azure VMs are not allowed because they are Technically Client Applications.
Below in Quotes is an Exerpt from the MSDN Licensing White Paper (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13350) under the Subtitle "MSDN Cloud Use Rights:
Running the MSDN Software on Microsoft Azure VMs and VMs on Shared Servers Run by 3rd Parties"
"Example 3: A developer who is licensed for Visual Studio Premium with MSDN has deployed Visual Studio and SQL Server in a VM running on Azure in order to develop new stored procedures for a database application. Using Visual Studio in this Azure VM to write
code is allowed as part of MSDN cloud use rights. The developer could access this VM without needing to purchase a RDS CAL. The developer would also like to install Office in the VM to access his emails and Lync to communicate with other developers. Using
Outlook to access emails or using Lync to communicate with other users in the VM is not allowed because this is not within the MSDN use rights to design, develop, test or demonstrate software."
I hope this answers your Question, If you have any doubts please let us know.

Office 2013: Getting 5 days trial instead of 60 days

I download 700MB Office 2013 from Microsoft's Technet Evaluation Center after learning (from the same website) that the evaluation period is 60 days. But after installing, the Office is saying that evaluation period is 5 days. I don't have product key to
enter as Technet Evaluation Center gave this error:
Your product key is:
Error: 'Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.'
I tried obtaining the key several times but every time the website gave the same error.

Hi,
Have you ever activated Office with this trial product key before?
Or you can contact your customer service center to confirm the rest trial period. I’m unable to give you a definite answer on the forum.

Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

The interface is terrible and can't be changed. Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on. The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time. From a 'privacy
standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive. It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'. It needs to be completely
scrapped.
The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft. (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website...
out of the frying pan... )
When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous.
An example:
Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so).
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
in line and become impossible to track.
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products. This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity".
Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'. Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
(hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time. This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
or 'beer-pong referee').
It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation. I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
$100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?!
A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
great) - no... instead,... it crashes. Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks. I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
computers".
Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad". The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right". The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS. In that case,
they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
server solutions, etc.
This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases.
Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it. The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
shorter than Microsoft's offering.
If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:
