Even though the Win7 desktop system does have 2013 products (Visio and Lync), trying to install Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 fails with:
Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2817430) 32-Bit Edition
The expected version of the product was not found on the system.
I see that a file has a lock on it. How could I find out the cause and root of this?
I've created an unattended install of Office 2010 using the OCT. We are using a MAK rather than KMS (not my decision). Is there a way to activate Office 2010 after the install? Even though the key is set during the install, it does not activate.
I don't want the users to be prompted to activate since this is going to be in a lab environment.
I've read various articles about Microsoft's Office 2007 encryption and from what I gather 2007 is secure using all default options due to it using AES, and 2000 and 2003 can be configured secure by changing the default algorithm to AES. I was wondering if anyone else has read any other articles or know of any specific vulnerabilities involved with how they implement the encryption. I would like to be able to tell users that they can use this to send semi-sensitive documents as long as they use AES and a strong password. Thanks for the information.
We are starting to do some project and application roadmapping, and am thinking about OpenOffice (and StarOffice) as a replacement for OfficeXP and Office 2000, which is on the bulk of our PCs.
How much should I consider the Open Source alternatives?
What sort of things should I be concerned about?
What hidden issues and second-order consequences should I be aware of?
I am looking forward to hearing pros and cons, and any other comments.
