From Office 2013 Preview / Beta to RTM installation notes
Just a quick post to note down some of the things I noticed when upgrading my work laptop to the RTM version of Office 2013.
I chose to perform an upgrade rather than uninstall Office 2010 first since I am still working in a 2010 / 2013 environment for the time being.
Installation
- Download from MSDN
- Grab key for activation
- Click to run installations from Office 365 Preview and previous Preview installations need to be uninstalled first
MSDN Activation
- Go to backstage (File)
- Click Office Account
- Click activate product and on the pop up you are asked to sign in with your Windows Live account
- At the bottom of the pop up, there is activate via a product key (the windows live sign in, won’t work for MSDN subscribers)
- Enter the key and click ok
- Restart the product
- Product now activated
- Some foibles based on my company’s internal environment
Project Professional 2013
- We are currently running Project Server 2010 in the office, Microsoft Project 2013 will not connect to Project Server 2010
- You can run Project 2010 Professional side by side with Project 2013 Professional
- You cannot run Project 2013 Professional local with the click to run version (but you don’t need to
)
Visio 2013
- Can run side by side with 2010
Lync 2013
- Installation is no longer separate install package
- Installed as part of Office 2013 Professional Plus
- Can connect to Lync Server 2010
SkyDrive 2013 Pro
- Can sync with SharePoint 2010
