Need help in determining whether it's Enterprise version

[msalt08]

According to what the latest slipstreamer says about my Office 2003 Professional

It's indeed an Enterprise version. But trying to create an admin point gives an error msg that says it's not enterprise.

Details extracted from slipstreamer's interface:

Ms Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003

Version v11.0.5614.0

Edition type: Retail/OEM

What seems to be the problem here?

In addition, is there a guide for newbies like me to use the slipstreamer?

No, your Office is not Enterprise. Why did you think that it is Enterprise?

Edition type: Retail/OEM

So, your Office is Retail/OEM.

Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Enterprise Edition was only available to Academic and Volume-License program customers. The highest retail version was Professional, so if you indeed have "Professional Enterprise", you either got it from an academic VL program, or a corporate VL. If you have this edition, you should know where you got it from. However, since it's giving you an error (and saying retail/OEM), it is likely this was garnered from an Academic VL program, which won't allow admin installation points.

I see. I totally didn't know and/or understand all these as I got it from a notebook retailer. I also didn't know that even it's stated Enterprise edition on the disc itself, being academic VL and retail/oem actually means it won't allow admin installation points.

Thanks for letting me know. =) So to conclude, I just have to give up on slipstreaming for Office 2003, right?

Thanks for the link, mara =)

A bit off-topic, but concerned: Since doing this violates the EULA, what are the likely consequences (legal or otherwise) for those who do change the msi manually and slipstream their office? Will we be prevented from downloading future ms office updates from its official website?
