Question

Hello,
I'm currently building a prototype Office integration application for my clients and they are dragging their heels in providing a suitable server.
The application consists a database / application / web server built on Marklogic + SQL Server/ bespoke c# / ASP.Net plus a Word plug in.
I'd like to install a full copy of Office 2013 and have users remote desktop into the server to use Office as rolling out the add-in will take months of negotiations with a less than helpful IT department.
I've already checked and my Enterprise MSDN licence covers me for installing the Office Suite at the client's site or off-site so long as no production data are used.
Will this be possible to host on Azure, I've just spent a good while reading about this but am lost in the maze of different licencing issues around Office. As this is a prototype can I just ignore the licencing issues and rely on my MSDN licence?
Thanks
Dom
