Sharepoitn 2013 - Office Web Apps Licensing

Dears,
I do have the license key with me for the office web apps 2013. The office web apps are working with our SharePoint 2013 portal without any issues. We were able to view the documents but couldn't edit the documents which are hosted in our portal.
How can i apply the license key for office web apps? do i need to execute any power shell commands? please advice.
thanks in advance,
Ammar

thanks Steven for your reply and appreciate the same.
but i need to know where exactly i should pass the licensing value as a parameter or the exact way to apply the license.
when i was searching i found the below link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2013/02/04/from-the-mvps-installing-office-web-apps.aspx
under licensing it was mentioned like below:
Licensing
So the Office web apps farm is up and running and you have enabled editing. There is though another step before your users will be able to actually edit documents with Office Web Apps; you need to license the users for editing.
This is achieved by running a series of PowerShell commands on the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration server:
Get-SPUserLicense
$x = New-SPUserLicenseMapping -SecurityGroup <ADsecuritygroup> –License OfficeWebAppsEdit
$x | Add-SPUserLicenseMapping
Enable-SPUserLicensing
Is that correct? is anyone executed the above command?
please advice.
thanks in advance,
Ammar

SharePoint 2013 Office Web App issue

We met an issue on Office Web App with SharePoint 2013.

The farm is having 2 WFE. There is NLB setting up for them.
AAM has been set to Default.
OWA binding set to -AllowHttp, zone set to internal-http. AllowOAuthOverHttp set to true.
The strange thing is when days ago we finish the installation, we try the link http://{server_name}/somefolder/document.docx to do the test, it works fine.
But today we try the link http://{NLB_link}/somefolder/documnet.docx, above error occur.
We are not sure whether AAM setting cause this issue or some other reaone. But even we remove the AAM to use the Server Name in link, still above issue.
Any idea/comments would be appriciated.

What is the default AAM? Is it the server_name, or the NLB_Link? Might want to try having the NLB_Link as the primary (default) AAM if you haven't already?
Not sure if you have seen the Troubleshooting steps here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687(v=office.15).aspx#tshoot
it discusses use of the PowerShell command:
New-OfficeWebAppHost (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219459(v=office.15).aspx) which might be required for your NLB_Link.

SharePoint 2013 - Office Web Apps - Internal and External Use

I have successfully installed SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps on Azure VMs inside an Azure Virtual Network (IaaS model). Everyting is working well. However, my testing has shown that external users and internal users can't use Office Web Apps at the
same time.
Office Web Apps, installed on its own vm, accomodates an external and internal URL quite well. However, SharePoint 2013 appears to only allow one setting for WOPI Zone, either internal or external but not both. I've set the WOPI zone to Internal-HTTPS (Set-SPWOPIZone
–Zone “internal-https”). OWA works just fine if accessed from inside the Azure Virtual Network. However, if I try to access from outside the Virtual Network, from the Internet, Office Web Apps fails. The exact oppisite is also true. I can set WOPI Zone to
External-HTTPS and accessing from the Internet works fine, but accessing inside the Virtual Network fails.
Am I missing something? I, obviously, want Office Webs Apps to function properly for both internal and external users simultaneously.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide here.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
To have both the use of Internet and Internal available to your end-users, you first need to configure AAM setting. Open Central Administration > Application Management > Configure alternate access mappings. Let's say there is an existing web application
named http://sharepoint and my end-users from local network are able to access it using the URL http://sharepoint (root site collection). Here you need to add the Internet URL by select the web application and click Edit Public URLs. Add the Internet domain
to the web application, e.g http://sharepoint.abc.com. You don't necessarily have to edit binding setting in IIS. Before continuing next steps, make sure you are able to access http://sharepoint.abc.com from the Internet while being able to access http://sharepoint
from local network (aka Internal).
On the machine where Office Web App (OWA) Server 2013 is installed, open PowerShell to add OWA module and use the following command to re-create a new OWA server farm if you've completed configuring it previously.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://owa" -ExternalUrl "http://owa.abc.com" -EditingEnabled.
In this case, I'm not using SSL certificate to encrypt data over the Internet. You can use Internet-public IP of the OWA server like -ExternalUrl "http://198.xxx.xxx.xx". Add CertifcateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate.
On your SharePoint machine, you need to re-bind all WFE machines to WAC farm using the cmdlet New-SPWOPIBinding. Next, you need to set the WOPI zone for both internal and external.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-http"
Note: I'm not all using certificate in my guidance. But the steps to have it configured is just to add more parameter.
I've recently successfully deployed OWA multi-server farm for both internal and internet uses for two big clients. In real-world scenario, ideally OWA should be published through firewall (Forefront UAG, TMG, F5...etc). Please let me know if you still have
issues after following my steps. My email: [email protected]

SharePoint 2013 - Office web apps intermittent issue

From past few weeks we are seeing issue while opening the documents from sites error message says “Sorry something went wrong + An unexpected error occur on the Server”. This happens with individual users accounts(Since it is
expected behavior with Service account for Office web Apps). After identifying on which server we are seeing the issue we are performing the
IIS reset on that effected Server and then issue will resolve but after a week or 10 days this is repeated again.    If anyone has seen this issue in(SP2013+OWA) please share your inputs for permanent fix.

Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

Hi Lemesnil,
The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
Sherazad

With SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).

Office web apps "Server error in '/wv' Application"

Hi, I successfully installed office web app for sharepoint 2013. However, when I tried to open documents, it shows the preview but once view/edit in browser, I got this error. What seems to be the problem?
Server error in '/wv' Application.
Unable to determine zone from request

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Server error in '/wv' Application. Unable to determine zone from request” when you open document using Office Web Apps.
Are you using https:// to access the Office Web Apps server? Is the default zone of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings using http:// ?
If so, you can change the default zone
of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings to use https:// .
Or set AllowOAuthOverHttp to true:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()

Exchange and Office Web Apps Integration - Wrong Url to Outlook Web App port 444

Hi,
I'm trying to setup Office Web Apps integration with Exchange 2013. Office Web Apps are working fine with SharePoint 2013 and the WAC servers are listed as in a healthy state.
When trying to open an office document from OWA I get the usual "Sorry...we ran into a problem. Please try again"
However I have noticed that the URL that OWA is passing WAC is in the format: https://exchangeservername.domain.com:444/owa/[email protected]/wopi/files...
This is the backend server address! All the internal and external urls for owa, ecp, ews etc are set to https://mail.domain.com and they all seem to be working fine. Client Access and Mailbox roles are on the same server.
If I change the url to https://mail.domain.com/owa/[email protected]/wopi/files... then the office file opens correctly in Office Web Apps
How do I correct the URL that OWA is sending Office Web Apps?
Thanks!

Hi DJL,
If everything works well except open document via OWA, it seems Exchange server 2013 has been configured correctly.
Please follow me to check Office Web Apps Server settings and Integration.
OWAS settings
1. Certificate:
Come from a trusted CA, include FQDN of OWAS farm in SAN field.
Exportable private key.
Friendly name must be unique within Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.
2. Farm:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm with following parameters
-InternalURL is the FQDN of the server that runs OWAS
-ExternalURL is the FQDN so that OWAS can be access on the Internet
-CertificateName is the friendly name of the certificate to be used for HTTPS
3. Explore this URL https://mail.domain.com/hosting/discovery
If OWAS works well, you can see a WOPI-discovery XML file in web browser.
Integration
1. Configure OWAS URL via EMS,
Set-OrganizationConfig –WACDiscoveryEndpoint https://mail.domain.com/hosting/discovery
2. WAC stands for Web Access Components.
Check App Log the 140 and 142 Event IDs for MSExchange OWA.
142 means the discovery of the OWAS was successful, 141 means something went wrong.

Exchange Office Web Apps Preview Does not work in OWA. An error occurred while the document preview was being created

Hi,
I have managed to configure intergration between Office Web App server 2013 and Exchange 2013 OWA.
I have created a test users Test1 and Test 2. I have given full access on Test2 mailbox to user test 1.
When I login to owa for user test1 and preview the attachment it works fine.
However when I use "Open another mailbox" in OWA and open test2 mailbox and try to preview the attachments in test2 inbox it errors as
" An error occurred while the document preview was being created. Please try again later " as follows
I am new to office web apps server 2013 and implemented it first time. Can anyone suggest resolutions or troubleshooting ?

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
1. Does the error appear when you directly access test 2 mailbox through OWA?
2. Check if there is 141 error in your event log.
3. Check whether Office web app server connects with Exchange server when the issue happens.
Access the URL: https://hostname/hosting/discovery
4. Grant full access permission again and check the result.
For more information about Office web app integration with Exchange, please refer to the following article:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/management-administration/exchange-2013-office-web-apps-server-integration.html
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Office Web Apps Issue - "Sorry, something went wrong" message when opening a document (any MS docx,ppt etc) in IE. With Chrome, it pops (Microsoft Office needs your permission) message and on RUN, it opens the document.

When opening any Microsoft documents ( docx, ppt etc) in SharePoint 2013,
Internet Explorer behavior : "Sorry, something went wrong" An unexpected error has occurred message and then nothing happens.
In Chrome : Pops (Microsoft Office needs your permission) message and on clicking RUN, it opens the document.
In Firefox : the documents opens, after asking which application do you want to use to open it.
The feature (Open Documents in Client Applications by Default) is not activate.
Why the MS documents are not working in IE 10?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open Microsoft documents in SharePoint 2013.
I recommend to Run the following PowerShell in OWA Server :
Remove-OfficeWebAppsHost # To Remove any restriction
Or
New-OfficeWebAppsHost -Domain <String> # To allow specific domain Name
In addition, you can allow OAuth via HTTP using the following commands:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()
Here are two similar articles for you to take a look at:

Office Web Apps Server 2013 - No download Volume Licensing Service Center

I´m looking for a office web apps server 2013 (OWS) download.
In the following blog Microsoft is announcing that the OWS is moving from the Download Center to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_sustained_engineering/archive/2014/10/22/web-apps-server-removal-from-download-center.aspx
So far so good
But in my VLSC are only Updates and Service Packs for the OWS. But no download for the OWS!
Is this only my problem? Any ideas to solve this problem?

Hi,
You can contact the Volume Licensing Service Center to get the answer to this case.
Refer to this link below, and select your country to get the Support Center Contact Information:

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
programs.

Installation - Office Web Apps Server on SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Download missing

Hi all,
I'm trying to download Office Web Apps Server.
As of November 24th, the download was relocated on the Volume Licencing Center (as per this
link ).
Connected to VLCS, I'm trying to find the download from the tree / using filter..... I'm not finding anything.
Was the product renamed / not available at this time ?
Thx

Are you aware of the type of subscription needed to download it?
The client I work for is a government department.... I think they have quite a big subscription!
Thx.
Update
I just found a great link to the list of products available thru the Volume Licensing Program
(http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/products/products.aspx#tab=2).
Office Web Apps Server requires an Office 2013 Licence.... We are checking this requirement right now...

Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

Hi all,
I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
(Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...”
–CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
ULS log shows
BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read]
So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
"POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
<action
name="edit"
urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
I am calling it this way:
<iframe
src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
Thank you for your help.

Office Web Apps (OWA) deployment and licensing

Hi,
Im trying to get some info about how to eventually purchase and install Office Web Apps (View only) for all Sharepoint-users in the farm.
As from 22/10 -14 OWA is no longer available for download from Microsoft Download Center.
Source: Technet
They're redirecting users to the Volume Licensing Service Center, but the link is dead.
What i found searching is this page with lack of info: http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/ProductPage.aspx?pid=387
I feel stupid, but this page says nothing to me.
Is there any obvious way to calculate the cost of OWA?
Does OWA even cost if the organization is just going to View but not edit?
From where should i get the installationpackage now when Microsoft Download Center got rid of it?
Kr,
Rasmus

Hi,
Office suite licenses(Standard or Pro Plus) are only required for those employees editing Office Web Apps documents.
The Office Web Apps are included when you purchase Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office Standard 2013 licenses and allow you to
view and edit Office files using the Office Web Apps Server.
Office client suites are licensed per device. The primary user of a device licensed for this Office software is licensed for access to the online companion Office Web Apps from any device. In these situations, the primary user is enabled for remote online
access through Office Web Apps.
thanks
