- Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility.
- To download Office Web Apps Server you must have a license, under a Volume Licensing agreement, for Office Professional Plus 2013, Office Standard 2013, or Office for Mac 2011. The download is located under those Office products on the VLSC portal.
- After calling the VSLC phone number they indicated that the Office Web Apps Server 2013 install is located under the Office Professional Plus 2013 (and Office Professional Plus W/ SP1) download. Just another day in the life.
Office Web Apps Server 2013 is the central component presenting and editing Microsoft Office document with Web services. The Web Apps Server is shared with Lync, Exchange and SharePoint. Download the Office Web Apps 2013 with SP1 which is the latest version you can download. Also look for the recent Cumulative Updates prior r to go live in production scenarios.
We're running a SP2013 SP1 farm and Office Web Apps SP1. The PDF files stored in the document libraries behave rather strange.
All PDF files opens both in OWA and the native client application (Adobe reader). We have an other 2013 farm and this farm acts normal (opens in OWA).
I compared both environments and see a small difference, namely it's missing this action (for both internal as external zone):
I'd tried to recreate a new spwopibinding for this type of application
But had no luck. Does anyone know how to force PDF's to open in OWA?
Many thanks!

Problem with Office Web Apps viewer testing
With the continued adoption of Windows Server 2012 R2, more issues with Office Web Apps 2013 are surfacing. One glaring item from a testing standpoint is the inability to use the Office Web Apps test viewer to view Office documents.

No matter what file type, you will get a general 'Sorry the <Office Web App> ran into a problem.' message whenever the view.aspx page is invoked by Office Web Apps. Thankfully, this issue does not affect normal Lync, Exchange or SharePoint integration, but it does make testing nigh impossible.
Answer: .NET Framework 4.5.2
As a general practice, it is good to keep servers up with .NET Framework updates. The 4.5.2 update for .NET Framework resolves the above issue with Windows Server 2012 R2, and may resolve a number of other as-yet-to-be-discovered issues with Office Web Apps. World time clock software free download for desktop. Currently, using the Office Web Apps test viewer is the only confirmed issue on Windows 2012 R2, but other unconfirmed issues may also be corrected by applying .Net Framework 4.5.2. If you encounter any Office Web Apps related issue you suspect may be specific to Windows Server 2012 R2, please make one of your first actions to install the .NET Framework 4.5.2. Remember applying the update will likely require a reboot.
