Office, TS and Citrix

I am running Citrix on TS but have an application that requires excel for
repoting. All desktops have full office 2003 licences so do I need another
licence to install excel on the citrix server?

If I do is that for all devices inthe organisation or for all concurrent
citrix users?

The general rule is one device one licence which I woudl like to think
applies here?

THanks

Yes, the rule is indeed "one device, one license", and that is
irrespective of how the device runs Office. So it doesn't matter
if Office is installed locally on each device, or if some devices
run Office inside a TS session.
If you already have a Office license for every client device,
you're all set.

What about if the user accessing the terminal server is outwith the
controlled office environment and accesses the terminal server via an
internet connection in a remote cafe without office installed on that device

Many Thanks in advance

What about is the user accesses the terminal server from a remote location
accross the web from a PC which does not have office installed (or a
different office version) how does the licensing work there?

Many thanks in advance

Then you need a license.
