Installation over an intranet

By default, when you publish a Web page, the link to install the Office Web Components points to the location in which you originally installed Office 2003. If the Office installation location was a network server that can be accessed by all users in your organization, you may not have to make any modifications to your Web pages. However, if you want to make modification, set up your Web pages so that the link to install the Office 2003 Web Components points to any server on your network.

To specify the download location for the Office 2003 Web Components Setup program, you must define the Setup location when you design the component before you save the Web page. To do this, follow the steps in the section that applies to the Office program that you are using to publish your Web pages.

Note You can specify either a file URL or an HTTP URL in these steps.

Microsoft Office Excel 2003

1.	On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.	Click the General tab, click Web Options, and then click the Files tab.
3.	In the Office Controls area, follow these steps: a. Click to select the Download Office Web Components check box. b. In the Location box, type the path of the root of the Office 2003 share point, and then click OK. When Excel creates the Web page, the full path of Setup.exe for the Office 2003 Web Components installation is automatically created. For example, if you type http://server/Office2003 in the Location box, the following path is written in the Web page: http://server/Office2003/Files/OWC11/Setup.exe
4.	Click OK.

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

When you insert one of the Office Web Components in a Web page, the path of the Web Components installer is automatically added.

Licensing considerations

By default, if you do not have Office 2003, Access 2003, Excel 2003, or FrontPage 2003 installed on the computer, you are licensed for static, non-interactive use of the Office 2003 Web Components program when you install the Office Web Components. With this kind of license, you can view the controls on a Web page, but you are not licensed to interact with the controls. If your organization owns an Enterprise, Select, or Maintenance Agreement for Office 2003 and you plan to deploy Office 2003 in phases, you can allow early adopters of Office 2003 to share component-based Web pages with users who have not yet installed Office 2003.

With the release of Microsoft Office 2003, the license checking code in Microsoft Office Web Components version 10 was removed. If your organization downloaded an updated version of Office Web Components version 10 after the release of Microsoft Office 2003, you will no longer have the license checking code in Office Web Components version 10.

With the release of Microsoft Office 2003 SP2, the license checking code was also removed for Microsoft Office Web Components version 11. If your organization downloaded an updated version of Office Web Components version 11 after the release of Microsoft Office 2003 SP2, you will no longer have the license checking code in Office Web Components version 11.

If your organization uses a version of Microsoft Office Web Components that has the license checking code removed, you can download and install Office 2003 Web Components. Additionally, you can use Office 2003 Web Components interactively without installing Office 2003.

If your organization has not upgraded to a version of Office 2003 Web Components that has the license checking code removed, follow these steps to use the licensing mechanism that is supported by Internet Explorer:

1.	Obtain a copy of Lpk_Tool.exe. Lpk_tool.exe that is included with Visual Studio. This tool is located on CD 2 of the Professional Edition and on CD 3 of the Enterprise Edition. If you do not have Visual Studio, follow these steps: a. Go to the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=d2728e89-575e-42e9-a6ff-07d0021e68cc (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=d2728e89-575e-42e9-a6ff-07d0021e68cc) b. Click Download. c. Click Save, and then enter the folder in which you want to download the files in the Save in box. d. Click Create New Folder, type Lpk, and then press ENTER. e. Click the Lpk folder, and then click Open. f. Click Save to save the Lpk_tool.exe file to the new Lpk folder. g. When the download is complete, click Close. h. Click Start, and then click Run. i. Click Browse, and then locate the Lpk folder. j. Click Lpk_tool.exe, and then click Open. k. Click OK in the Run dialog box. l. Click Yes to agree to the license agreement. m. Extract the files to your Lpk folder. Note During the extraction process, the Lpk_tool.exe files are copied to the Lpktool subfolder in the Lpk folder. n. Click OK.
2.	Copy LPK_Tool.exe to a computer on which the Office 2003 Web Components are already installed.
3.	Double-click LPK_Tool.exe.
4.	In the License Package Authoring Tool dialog box, click to select the following items in the Available controls list: • Microsoft Office Chart 11.0 • Microsoft Office PivotTable 11.0 • Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0
5.	Click Add, and then click Save & Exit.
6.	In the Save As dialog box, type a name for the .lpk file, and then click Save.
7.	Click OK when you receive the message that states that the License Package file was created successfully.
8.	Copy the .lpk file to the folder that contains the Office 2003 Web Components file. This folder is on the Web server.
9.	In a text editor, open the file that contains the Office 2003 Web Components.
10.	Insert the following text in the <BODY> section of the document. Note This text must appear in the first <OBJECT> tag in the <BODY>section: <OBJECT CLASSID = "clsid:5220cb21-c88d-11cf-b347-00aa00a28331"> <PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="license.lpk"> </OBJECT> Note The only text that you have to modify is the name of the .lpk license file. For example, this text refers to the .lpk license file as "license.lpk". Replace License.lpk with the path and name of the .lpk file that you created in step 7. Keep the Name property of the <PARAM> tag as "LPKPath", and set the Value property for the <PARAM> tag of the License Manager object to the Lpk file name and path. This path may be a relative path. However, the path must not refer to a UNC share or to a URL on another domain. For example, in your configuration, the HTML file is located on \\server_name\share_name\myPage.html. The license file is located on \\server_name\share_name\LPK\License.lpk. In this example, the HTML code will be as follows: <OBJECT CLASSID = "clsid:5220cb21-c88d-11cf-b347-00aa00a28331"> <PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="LPK\License.lpk"> </OBJECT> For more information about how to use licensed ActiveX controls, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 159923 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/159923/) How to use licensed ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer
11.	Save and close the document.

If a user is not using Office but is using the Office Web Components, the user can access a Office Web Component on a Web page because of the license on the Web server.
