Can I install office 2007 on Windows 2003 server?

[bloomlight]

We have a group of people using office 2007 and want to know if I can install office 2007 on Windows 2003 server.

Do I have to buy office 2007 server edition? where to buy volume licenses? If I need it for 25 users, how much do I have to pay? will it be OK to install on the win 2003 terminal server? Thanks.

HI

For multiple simultaneous users office 2007 will have to be installed on a Terminal server (or equivalent)

As far as i am aware Office 2007 can only be licensed or installed on a terminal server if it is bought through Volume Licensing (open, select ect)

If you have 25 users you will need 25 Licences (and TS cals)

Call your software vendor. Explain what you need and they should be able to quote you out the software licenses you need on a Volume License Agreement. You only need a minimum of 5 Licenses to get an agreement started and it is good for 2 years. You will then be able to get VL licenses on a one off nature after that. Pricing is pretty much set by MS to my knowledge so it shouldn't matter where you go to get it.

Thanks for the reply. I will call our software vendor for pricing.

Another question: In order to install it on the terminal server, do I have to get the office 2007 server version? Or I can use standard office 2007 version as I installed on user's workstation?

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 on a 2003 TS and VL.
