ProPlus Licensing
Is anyone able to clear up the licensing needs for Office ProPlus on a shared computer (RDS for example)? I have looked on the ProPlus pages and it all states each user needs a license...but what lic...
ProPlus is office regardless which license you have as long as it includes office. You'll need to install / setup office in a shared computer setup so that your users can each login / access office on a per user basis.
Each user requires a license regardless if you go standalone or not since the agreement has a use case about using Office in RDS environments. Only way you can get by with device license with single install is if people physically use a single device.
Obviously this just covers Office. You would still need RDS licenses as well.

- Thanks, but again nowhere suggests exactly what license is needed. Does each user need an E3 or ProPlus license (One that is for shared deployment) Or will a Business Premium license be sufficient as this includes office on up to 5 PCs.
- You need E3 or “Microsoft 365 Business” license. So not the regular Office Business premium. See here.
