There is configuration in Sandboxie for Microsoft Office licensing components. Maybe it's just not properly detected for Office 2013.

Try to enable them manually:

Sandbox Settings > Applications > Desktop Utilities > add Microsoft Office Licensing

Thank you for your prompt reply. I tried doing that but unfortunately i still get the same message. Although this time it takes slighly longer to display the message.

Is this a bug ? Has anyone else noticed this ?

Tzuk is it possible for you to check the same ?

Hi Venky, Tzuk

I've just rebuilt my machine with Windows 8 and Office 2013.

Office is licensed and activated, However reports "unable to access licensing information" when started
in an otherwise default sandbox.

Enabling the Desktop->Microsoft Office Licensing does not help.

I have a captured "Resource Monitor" log. Where can I send it?

Thanks
Blacky

Venky,

It isn't a bug.... Tzuk made sandboxie incredibly configurable exactly because he knew he
couldn't foresee the demands of every application past and future...

Tzuk,

Not being one to sit around waiting for answers...

Office 2013 needs (direct access) to
IPC \rpc control\sppctransportendpoint-*

For microsoft office licensing to work.

I apologize for not being able to look into this. I'm just so busy lately with a bunch of stuff. Thanks for looking into this Blacky.

I point out that the existing Office Licensing application compatibility settings (for Office 2010) specifies this:

OpenIpcPath=\RPC Control\OSPPCTransportEndpoint-*

And blacky says Office 2013 needs this instead:

OpenIpcPath=\RPC Control\SPPCTransportEndpoint-*

(Difference is OSPPC vs SPPC without O.)

[Venky]

Thanks tzuk and blacky, got it working now.

Hi there.

Can anybody you explain, step by step, how solve this issue for office 2013.

Thanks in advance.

Hi again.

Solve change the template not ipc.

Thanks.

[tzuk]

Version 4.01.02 includes this change to the Office Licensing compatibility settings in Sandboxie.

[Venky]

Thanks tzuk! Especially for still keeping all these threads in mind! Hats off to you!

Hey guys, i tried out what has been mentioned here but it isn't working for outlook 2013. i'll try to post a resource monitor log as soon as possible or can anybody else do this instead of me?

i think the structure of it and the access to the windows registry is different to older versions.

I had this problem and this information solved it, thank you. Please note not everyone would know to go to Applications > Local to add their own settings. I just found it by sheer luck.

Thanks--Bill
