Sorry, we couldn't find your license to use this feature. If you know who manages the licenses for your organization, tell them you'd like a license to use 'Excel Services'.

We have a problem where people send out a share to a document, this works for all files except XLSX.

SharePoint sends out a link with ?web=1 at the back and as we only have standard license the receiving user gets "Sorry, we couldn't find your license to use this feature. If you know who manages the licenses for your organization, tell them you'd like a license to use 'Excel Services'." We also have the feature enabled to "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default"

Further testing showed me this:

These links work:

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xls

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xls?web=1

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xlsx

This link gives me the error message:

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xlsx?web=1

I suspect Excel Services has something todo with this, but can't find the cause why SharePoint is sending out links with ?web=1.

Thanks for the help
