Cannot start a trial version of Office XP or Office 2003 on Terminal Server
This article was previously published under Q287039
When you log on to a Microsoft Windows Terminal Server
computer by using an Administrator account, and you start a Microsoft Office XP or a Microsoft Office 2003
program, you may receive the following message:
This copy of Microsoft Program cannot be used on Terminal Server. Please contact your local authorized Microsoft retailer for more information.
When you attempt to start an Office program from within a
Terminal Server Client session, you may receive the following error message
This feature is not available. For more information,
contact your system administrator.
and the Office program quits.
This behavior occurs when a trial edition of Office XP or Office 2003 has
been installed on a Terminal Server computer.
The installation of a
trial edition of Office is not supported by Terminal Server.
Remove the trial edition of Office and reinstall a
mandatory activation or Enterprise edition of Office , which has no
license-expiration date. The mandatory activation of Office requires that
the administrator activate the product before any Terminal Server clients are
able to use the Office programs.
