Office Deployment Tool Config for 2013 Pro Plus

Hi!
   I'm trying to update an installation of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and wonder if somebody could help me with the correct Product ID to use for the Office Deployment Tool configuration.xml file? Almost all the examples seem to
use O365ProPlusRetail.
   The configuration documentation here discusses only Office 365: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426%28v=office.15%29.aspx
   But it links to this page, which lists product IDs, but no description (thank you not very much!): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297/en-us
   There's a "ProfessionalRetail" there; elsewhere I've seen a "ProPlusRetail" which isn't listed there, and I'm hoping that if I get the right Product ID I can get this cantankerous update process to work!
   Thanks much,
       Rob

Hi,
Microsoft have used some rather confusing product marketing terms, which makes it hard to get clear, and also to be clear, when it comes to this release of Office :(
Office 2013ProfessionalPlus - installation uses the classic setup.exe + MSI engine. Can be updated via WSUS.
Office365ProPlus - installation uses the new ODT, and results in C2R virtualized "installation". Can't be updated via WSUS.
So, if you're using the ODT, then you're not using Office2013ProfessionalPlus..
Reference for the Product element:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ProductElement
Reference including Retail Product elements:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297/en-au
NB: the update process will probably be cantankerous even after you get it working ;)

Activating Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus? Volume licensing needed?

Hello,
I have unique scenario in my company where we need to install office 2013 pro plus on 10 hard drives. Each hard drive has its own windows 7 operating system. Due to security reasons, the setup consists of one computer tower (with no primary hard drive) that
has a slot in tray for one hard drive. These hard drives are accessed one at a time. There are not set up on a network and do not have internet access. What would be the best method of installing office? Of course we could install 10 copies of office on the
10 hard drives, but this would be expensive. I keep hearing about KMS (Key management service) and MAK (multiple activation key) which I believe would require volume licensing. Is this a possible cheaper alternative? Would we need to set up a server to manage
the keys?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
A volume licensing aggreement is the best plan for your case, I think.
Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft hosted activation services, either via the Internet or by telephone. Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations, this number is based on volume licensing
agreements.
KMS is a client-server model in which the client requests activation from a computer serving as the KMS host. KMS activation requires TCP/IP connectivity between the clients and the KMS host. By default, KMS host uses DNS to publish the KMS service. It works
best with more than 50 computers.
So I think the best choice for your scenario is MAK as your setup is not on a network and only need 10 copies of Office. Also, with MAK, you don't need a server to "manage the keys" as the MAK key need to be added at installation time.
Here is the reference you'll need:

Hi
We recommend you download it from the website and extract it again to make sure your source install is complete.
Run setup.exe as administrator then try the install.
If the issue persists, refer to the article on General troubleshooting for installing Office 2013 and Office 365:

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.

Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command. The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
it is a simple command.
Comments appreciated.
side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included. In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
Steps are:
Download the Office deployment tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
example we will use the \\server\sharename
location.
Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
(on single line)
Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

Office Deployment Tool

Hi We just licensed a lot of computers with Office 365 Enterprise 3.. or E3
I wanna deploy office 2013, .. I'm unsure of what I actually got the rights to download
I can't figure out if E3, gives me permission to get Ofice 2013, Pro Plus?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297
Can I get it anyway for offline install?

Hi，
For Office 365 E3 subscription, you should use O365ProPlusRetail
as the product ID in the Configuration.XML file while downloading Office with Office Deployment Tool.
You can download (with the /download mode of ODT) the build to a local path first, then configure it to all the machines without the need of Internet access.

Office Deployment tool not trying to install 32 bit verion where OfficeClientEdition is set to 32

We used the Office Deployment tool to download the 32 bit version of Office 2013. Now when we try to deploy the 32 bit version we received an error. This is on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC.
Here is the configuration XML file
<Configuration>
     <Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
     <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
           <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
     </Add>
     <Logging Path="C:\Temp" />
</Configuration
Here is the line in the log file that shows the download error.
FileDownload::Download: Download failed for "C:\Users\swessmi\Desktop\Office_Deployment_Tool\Office\Data\15.0.4615.1002\i641033.cab", try 0. {"SessionID":"47a04060-d70c-4af4-be4d-dc5b1428c60b","GeoID":"244","Ver":"15.0.4619.1000","ErrorCode":"2","ErrorMessage":"ErrorCodeOnly

The Deployment tool is looking for the i641033.cab file which is the 64 bit version. We want to install the 32 bit version so we did not download the 64 bit version.
If I try to install the 64 bit version by changing the OfficeClientEdition="64" the deployment tool installs the 64 bit version fine from the internet as I have not downloaded the 64 bit version.

Hi,
As tested, i641033.cab is also part of 32-bits Office installation source. When you have 32-bits Office downloaded, you should see i641033.cab under ...\Office\Data\15.0.4615.1002\ (in your case).
Looks like the installer was having an issue downloading i641033.cab, try to download the source file again, or manually download i641033.cab, then try again.

Excel 2013 (pro plus) extermely slow with sheets with more than 100 checkboxes

I have a customer with Excel 2013 (pro plus).
They use sheets with more than 100 checkboxes in it.
The sheet is extremly slow to display. When a user starts scrolling down, the checkboxes appear very slowly, one by one.
It happens with all users, on both x86 and 64bits Windows 8 PC's and Office clients (32b & 64b).
Anyone any idea?

Hi R.Nieraeth,
Could you please let us know what exactly these checkbox was used for ? Any formulas depend on these checkbox? Or any VBA code in this excel file? If so, you may need to check your formulas or the VBA code.
In addition,does this issue happen only on excel 2013? You can try to disable hardware graphics acceleration: Click
File, and then click Options. In the Advanced group, click to select the
Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box. Click ok.
Also please check if the following thread is helpful:

Download O365 installer files using Office Deployment Tool times out...

Hi,
We need to deploy O365ProPlus as part of an operating system image using MDT. I was pointed to this page for instructions:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn314789.aspx
We first needed to download the source files, so I first downloaded the Office Deployment Tool and used this to download the O365ProPlus image to my MDT server.
I created the following config file (O365x64.xml):
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="X:\O365\" OfficeClientEdition="64">
   <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" >
     <Language ID="nb-no" />
   </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
And I invoke the command to run the Office Deployment Tool:
.\setup.exe /download X:\O365.x64.xml
Then the process creates a folder X:\O365\Office\Data with a couple of 16kb CAB files, but nothing happens apart from this.
What am I doing wrong...? I expect the Office folder to be alteast a gigabyte...
Thanks for comments

Please first check your network or switch to a different network, then try again.
Additionally, you might want to check if your network setting/firewall setting is blocking any Office 365 IP address/URL:

I have Office 2007 Enterprise on 2 computers and am trying to install Office professional Plus 2013 on Win 7 machines...On both I am getting request to find missing file
ProPlus.ww\proplsww.cab
I cant find it anywhere including an Office ultimate 2007 Cd install disc
Please HELP

Hi tobytyler9655，
ProPlusWW.cab is a file from Office Pro Plus installation.
Since ProPlusWW.cab is missing, the installation resource may be damaged. You can download the install resource from Microsoft website and reinstall it.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/download-back-up-restore-microsoft-office-products-FX103427465.aspx
If still unable to install Office 2013, we can perform a clean boot to remove conflict with other applications.

Hi David,
Are you installing Office 2013 with a CD or source files on your local drive?
The log above tells us that the failure occurred during the install of the ProPlusWW.msi. "1603" is a generic MSI error code, so doesn't help much here.
I noticed below part in your attached log:
"2015/02/06 15:36:55:270::[6108] MSI(INFO): '02/06/2015 15:36:55.254 [3892]: Assembly Install: Failing with hr=80070005 at RemoveDirectoryAndChildren, line 396"
The error code 0x80070005 is also described as ACCESS DENIED, so you might want check your permissions and make sure you are running as admin.
Also, if you are installing with a CD, then please try a flat installation (which means perform an installation from an image that has been copied to a hard drive rather than directly from CD media), and see if issue persists. This can help
with problematic software installations because performing a flat copy is much easier for the computer than the random access reads required during a normal installation.

Office 2013 Pro Plus Activation not taking ?

Hello All.
I'm having issues with the license I received from my CTO. It's a legit license from Microsoft (Downloaded straight from the site). But the activation goes nutty no matter what I do.
Details:
Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit
Office Pro Plus 32-Bit
Problem:
Activation will not take.
If you take a look at Capture.jpg - You will notice that all programs are showing; 'Product Activated Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013' but then underneath that, it says 'Activation Required' --- What ???
If you look at Capture1.jpg - I've entered the license key and I get the Green Check - I click Install & Nothing. No Results. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
I'm out of ideas. Yours?

Hi,
1.Open any Office program. For example, open Microsoft Word 2013.
2.Click the File tab.
3.Click Account, then click Activate Product.
4.In the Microsoft Office Activation Wizard, choose I want to activate the software by telephone, then click Next.
5.Click the drop-down menu, and then choose the country or region that you're from.
6.The Product Activation Center telephone number will appear under the drop-down menu in Step 1.
In addition, you might also contact Microsoft Customer Service they will help you to activate:
