Are there any best practice guides or tips on installing Office Professional Plus  2013 in a Server 2012 RDS environment?

Hi

First of all, it is important to keep in mind that desktop applications such as the Office Suite are licensed per device, not per user. The following comes directly from the Microsoft Product Use Rights document dated January, 2010: You must acquire a license for each device on or from which you access or use the software (locally or remotely over a network)You may access copies of the software installed on a network device only from a device that has a license for the software.

In other words, if you can walk up to a device and use it to interact with an Office application, you must have an Office license for that device. It doesnt matter whether that device is a PC or laptop that has the Office bits installed on its local hard drive, or whether it is a thin client device that allows you to connect to a XenApp server, you need to have assigned a license to that device.
