Technet Office 2007 & Terminal Services

[PRMolina]

I'm trying to set up office from my technet download onto a terminal server
in order to demo to management what Office 2007 looks like with our Shareoint
3.0 site. However, I keep getting a "this version does not work on a
terminal server" message when I try to launch office. I first tried it with
Office 2007 Ultimate, uninstalled, rebooted, then installed Office 2007
Enterprise.

Has anyone else had this problem?

You will need an Enterprise version of Office to install using a Terminal
Server.

Hi P.R.,

In addition to having an Office 2007 enterprise/corporate edition you also need to have a enterprise/volume license key for Office
2007 to install it on thin clients http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311241?FR=1

If you don't have a separate test machine for your demo, and need to isolate the test setup from the working environment then you
may want to consider setting it up on Virtual PC/Virtual Server or even the Office 2007 Professional 2007 and Office Sharepoint
Server 2007 Virtual Hard Disk downloads - http://microsoft.com/virtualpc
