Using local apps with published app

Hi,

We have a published database application running on a set of Terminal Servers. One of the options in the app, when it was running on local machines, was to generate a proposal and launch the local copy of Microsoft Word for editing and then saving the proposal. I do not want to have to license 40 copies of Office to run on the Terminal Service, so I am wondering if there is a way to have the user's local copy of Word launched. With the File/URL redirection in the newly released version 6 of the ApplicationServer, I'm thinking that may be the way to go, although it would require some programming changes to the app. Ideal would obviously be no programming changes needed :) Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Kevin
 
Hi there,

In Version 6 Mail and URL redirection are available. "File Open" redirection is not available.

A feature in the pipeline will be to control the number of times an application is opened. This will ensure that if you only have 20 licenses only 20 copies will be allowed to run at the same time.
