Clarence: If I understand you correctly all you had to do to clear up the
error was activate Office 2003? I am doing testing setting up my own TS
and
ran into this exact issue. Not having an extra activation key to use I
haven't activated Office. Admins can run Office but not normal users.
As to your comment on multiple sessions from the one copy I believe that
is
how TS is meant to work. I talked extensively with MS re: licensing and
they
reiterated to me several times that to be legit I had to buy 1 copy of
Office
for the Terminal Server itself. Any remote user to that TS could USE that
copy but had to have their own legitimate license as well. If I have 20
users
that want to use Office via TS I need 21 licenses--one for each user and
one
for the TS itself. That means you only use the 1 TS copy for the install
and
the other 20 are to keep you legal.
Cheers...

Late nights and long hours really do give you a brain fart!
Turns out that I had to register the software via telephone (exceeded my
registration quota). And, although it allowed me to run under admin
login
after clearing this warning, it does not since this process is
administrative, thus the error message.
Interesting that its' allowing multiple sessions to use this single
installation (or is there something special about the MAPS versions). I
surely do not want to violate any rules!
I do want to thank everyone for their assistance... Hope to be able to
return the favor to the group someday soon.

Have a W2k3 TS up and running with all applications except those from
Office 2k3 Pro Suite.
After reading many posts and documents on the installation process for
O2k3 Pro, I thought I was ready to go forward. Proceeded with the
installation as follows:
- Start > Run > 'change user /install' > OK
- Installed office pro suite w/ default options
- Completed install and launched application [OK]
- Installed sp2
- Again verified app launched OK
- Start > Run > 'change user /execute'
Logged off session, then logged back in as a user and when I launch the
application modules, I get the following error (regardless of module):
This feature is not available. For more information, contact your
system
administrator.
Admins and power users have no issue running application, only users.
Anyone run across this issue before?
Additionally, the install was from the MAPS. Is this an issue? Also,
since I have 10 licenses w/ MAPS for O2k3 Pro, how can I possibly
install
these since they are not volume licenses - just 10 individual keys?!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
