Volume license edition office365 issue on RDS server?

Assume that you have installed Office 365 click-to-run on a terminal server. And, now when you are going to use the product it gives you an error that is:

This copy of Microsoft Office cannot be used on a computer running Terminal Services. To use Microsoft Office on a computer running Terminal Services, you must use a Volume License Edition of Office.

This issue occurs because Click-to-Run versions of Office programs or suites running on a server with Remote Desktop Services (RDS), must have Shared Computer Activation enabled. Remote Desktop Services are formerly known as Terminal Services. Shared Computer Activation is only available for Microsoft 365 Apps. Other releases are not supported.

To get this issue resolved we need to identify the system that the system where the application is hosted have a Shared Computer Activation enabled.

To make it possible there is a step that we need to follow:

Registry Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Path SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration
Value Name SharedComputerLicensing
Value Type String Value
Enabled Value 1
Disabled Value 0

Close the registry and restart the system. Now, your problem will be solved.
