HELP - Office Communicator?

[Hberg]

Today I purchased (from a local big box retailer) Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011, and Remote Desktop Connection Client, Messenger for Mac, and Office Communicator were suppose to be part of the product. Unfortunately, everything but Office Communicator was loaded. I did confirm that I did actually purchase the Home and Business 2011 edition. I looked through all my applications and I did not see Office Communicator. I looked through the contents of the package of the CD, and I didn't see anything that even looked like it would be Office Communicator.

I connect to my company's exchange server and I get everything I need for Outlook, but I cannot locate Office Communicator. With Messenger 8 you are no longer able to connect to the corporate Microsoft Office 2007 R2 server. So I had to reload Messenger 7.0.2.

How do I go about getting Office Communicator? Unfortunately, my corporation is a PC only environment, and they do not support the iPhone or Apple products. I would like to continue using my MacBook Pro for work as well as the Company Windows Laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

Any solutions?

Does anyone have any solutions?

I contacted Microsoft via there online technological support, and 48 hours later I have not received an response. I was hoping that there might be a friendly forum reader that would offer a solution.

If anyone has some advice to this thread topic, I could use it too. I have Office 2011 Home & Office installed, but don't see anything having to do with Communicator (which is used heavily by my PC using workmates).
