Got my office license from an MSDN Subscription.
Come to think of it, so was my 2003 AD. But for some reason I had a TS
licensing issue and created a longhorn AD. Oh wait, maybe it was needing a
longhorn terminal-server-license server? Yeah, I think I did that also.
But in my case the problem could be seen in trying to get to a remote
longhorn desktop, before adding in apps. Ain't betas fun!

Tim,
My AD is R2.. Microsoft thought it was an issue with the office license.
Where did you get yours? I will have to install a longhorn AD and then a
LH TS box and see what happens.

Very odd. I do have it running on a longhorn beta2 terminal server. Have
been playing with it via ms's equivalent of seamless windows. It works OK
(but it's not Citrix). I haven't done outlook, but the other apps work
fine. I even created by presentations for Briforum using it, and showed
them using PPT for Office 2003. Needs some getting used to and a
willingness to have it go wacko once in a while since it is beta code.
Doug - your license issue may be AD related. With longhorn server you need
the "2003 R2" update to active directory. Rather than mess with my regular
AD I just created a new vista/longhorn AD for testing and it was fine. I
don't think this is related to Office 2007.

Yes, I have but I've had troubles with it in a longhorn environment. It
just did not run due to a license issue. I get an error stating this
version of office is not meant to run on a Terminal Server. I have not
tried it on 2k3 yet. I do have it running on my xp workstation and it
works pretty good. I'm sending this from it.
I'm submitted the bug report to MS and they are working on it. Let me know
if it runs for you. We think it was a license key issues.

Anyone been using the 2007 beta in TS yet? I'm thinking of rolling it out to
our semi-test (Technicians use only) server shortly. Any experiences yet?
