CESM 3.0.61203.19
CES 6.4.295621.2943
Default install (no firewall or HIPS enabled yet)
I have one workstation running Windows 8.1 and a volume-licensed (KMS) Office 2013 ProPlus.
If CES is installed, the Office programs will randomly switch into "Non-Commercial Use" mode.
Checking the activation in the "FILE" menu says it is activated, but if I try to run "cscript ospp.vbs /act" in the Office15 folder, it complains it's out of memory. On a 16GB machine with only 4GB in use.
I see lots of errors in the system log regarding Software Protection and AppX Deployment services failing to start due to timeout. Manually starting these services doesn't seem to help. Speaking of AppX, this is probably why if I launch the Store, it often tells me to reboot or reinstall Windows, also not happening if CES isn't installed.
If I uninstall CES, everything is back to normal.
I just now discovered, if I turn off "auto-sandbox" it is back to normal. So I guess the real question is, why are components of Software Licensing and/or Office 2013 getting sandboxed, and why is there no indication of this anywhere that I can find in the settings or sandbox items list?
