Specific MS Office Product Key for use on Windows 2008 Server with Remote Desktop Services?
Hi Experts,
I want to install MS Office 2007 on a Windows 2008 Server with Remote Desktop Services. I know I am supposed to have a license for each user that uses it. Remote admin says he couldn't install MS Office on the server and said he called Microsoft and they said he wouldn't be able to install it on a Windows 2008 Server with Remote Desktop Services. I didn't have trouble installing MS Office 2003 and earlier on Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 servers. I did a Google search and see there is now a different way to install it, but do you need a special MS Office Terminal server license, or will your regular MS Office licenses be OK? Thanks.

I have a client that wants to buy a Server 2008 with Remote Desktop Services.
Of course they want to run Office 2010 on the TS.
I understand we cannot INSTALL anything but the OLP (or VLK) version of Office. The trouble is he ALREADY has all the licences of Office 2010 that he needs in OEM (PKC I think it's called now). SURELY, he does not need to buy ANOTHER licence of Office 10 for EVERY user???
Is it possible to download or buy the media? And install that? Or maybe just buy the minimum number of VLK licences?
Regards
Michael
